question about sub-jobs

[Tidus4444]

I'm a little confused on the sub-job system. I heard it can only be half your level. Does that mean that a sbujob is always at half of your main job? So if I was a BM 30 and just got WM I would automatically be BM30/WM15? Does it mean you can only be half you main job? Like if I was normally a BM 20, then switched to WM ?I would be a 1BM/1WM? Does it mean it's always half of it's normal level? So if I was 20 BM, then got the WM, and switched WM to main I would be 1 WM/ 10 BM

Take this example of a single character with these jobs and levels:

level 50 warrior
level 23 thief
level 35 red mage

From this pool, we combine the jobs and this is what we can get:
- Main Thief 23
- Sup Warrior 25
=warrior is half of the main job level

- Main warrior 50
- Sup red mage 17
=red mage is half of the main job level

Now as for just switching main job and no support, then you will be level 1 with the new job, so following the above table, you:

switch your main job to smething completely new like White Mage and start at level 1. Say you want to add a support job to the WM then you will have 2 level 1 jobs.

Just a reminder that support jobs are quested at a certain level (I won't disclose the level).

Thanks for that info I was wondering about that myself.

That info was absolutely incorrect

Sub job is half of the current main job.

Using gurico's jobs...

The correct combination would be

THF 23/ WAR 11

or

WAR 50/ RDM 25

However if you do WAR/ THF it would NOT be WAR 50/ THF 25 because thief was never raised past 23 so it would be

WAR 50/ THF 23

You can only lvl a job as yopur main so if you just startd a monk and it is only lvl 6 and you made it your sub job, you would be

WAR 50/ MNK 6

Or you could be...
MNK 6/ WAR 3
MNK 6/ RDM 3
MNK 6/ THF 3

I hope this clears things up
