Thread: unable to add new job classes to 1.0 character

Yeah, for 1.0 characters you don't start the game with the Armoury system fully unlocked - you only have access to those classes/Jobs you already had exp in from 1.0 - any classes you didn't level remain locked until you complete the level 10 class quest from the Guild of the class you chose to start ARR in.

You then have to unlock them like a new character does, travelling to the Guild of that required class, speaking to the receptionist, joining up, and speaking to the Guildmaster. Sadly SE didn't make this very clear when they listed information for transferring 1.0 characters into the game.

Rule of thumb for a 1.0 character in ARR - if you didn't gain it in 1.0, then you don't have it at the start of ARR, and have to unlock it like a new character I'm afraid (that goes for chocobos/mounts, retainers and Grand Companies too).
