I've been keeping tabs on this game since January, even though I played during launch. I started playing a bit back in Jan and Feb and got my old character up to nearly 40, but then another game distracted me and I disabled my account until now. I figured with 2.0 looming in the near future now would be a good time to give it another shot. I'm really liking it so far, but I'm a little confused and need some help on some of the changes.

1) Is stats distribution per job or universal? I wanted to get CON up to 18 for Raise and then level GLD to unlock PLD, but I didn't want to place stats for a CON that would interfere with my PLD.

2) Is there a cap on rested XP?

3) Are there any good guides (besides the class forums) where I can read up on GLD and PLD?

Appreciate all the help!
