Training Multiple Classes/Jobs

[mythicrose]

On a side note the idea that it would wait for you to change back your class in duty finder is also wrong. If you change your class after entering queue it will cancel the queue.

I've never had that issue when queing up as a lancer then swapping to botanist, miner, or something else until the DF dungeon was ready.

I have always changed class after queuing in DF. It does not cancel the queue. What happens is the duty window will pop up saying the duty is ready, but you can't join because you're the wrong class. Just go into your character menu and change to the class you queued as, then go to Duty Finder in the menu and go to Duty Status at the bottom. The Commence window will pop back up. Click Accept. You have :45. Usually takes me about :20.

That's not an idea. That's a fact. I switch classes while waiting for duty finder all the time and it never cancels my queue.

just be aware that if you got your first class to 30 or higher and then need to level a 2nd class/job for extra skills or requirement for your main class, you wont have any quests for that 2nd class/job run if you did the quests the first time round to get to level 30 or higher,I wasn't impressed by that but I wont de-rail the topic going on about that lol.

To briefly touch on this, as you have, it is thankfully fast to get to 10 on a second job and still not painful to get to 15. If your plans are only to fulfill your prereq then 15 is all you need. You are correct that you won't have quests and need to do FATEs, your hunting log, and XP chains.

Do you need to pick a job? Or is it ok not to and just play main story quests without it?

[Naberrie]

About the time you can unlock a job, at level 30, you want to, because the dungeons are about to start getting harder, and you're going to want the skills and stats the job offers.

Ok. I haven't narrowed down my main yet..but I'll think on the complimentary job sets then.

For soloing, which most of the story quests are, just being in the class is fine, and sometimes better because you will have cross class skills once you level those. Jobs are better for party play, but since all you have to do once you get the job is change the crystal and they level at the same as the main class for the job, it's easy. The job quests aren't too hard, and don't take long, so if you qualify, i'd say just do them. It can't hurt, even if you really never decide to use the job.
