| Ok, I've seen a couple of questions on this. That means that either people haven't read this topic or I don't explain it very well. But most likely both are true. So here goes nothing:
MY ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN THE MAIN/SUB AND BASIC/ADVANCED JOB THING BETTER
A basic job is one that you can start out with, without having to a quest. The basic jobs are: Red Mage, White Mage, Black Mage, Warrior, Monk, and Thief.
An advanced job requires you have to do a level 30 quest to get it; otherwise it's the same as a basic job. The advanced jobs are: Paladin, Beast Master, Bard, Dark Knight, and Ranger.
You can only equip items for your main job, and only your main job gets experience.
Your sub job is there to boost your stats a little, and give you some of its abilities and qualities. You have to do a level 18 quest to get a sub job. Your sub job can only be half your main jobs level.
Your character has no level of its own, there are only job levels. Once you get a job to a certain level it will not go permanently down, unless you die too much. It may temporarily go down if you equip it as a sub job but it is more than half of your main jobs level.
Because your sub job doesn't get experience, to level it you must switch it your main job and then level it up and switch it back.
PS- I think this poll has more votes than anyother poll that's been on this forum. |
