best basic subjob to start with

[Capathyst]

im going to start up agains oon and i was wondering which of the 6 basic jobs i should start with because im deffinately going to go to an advanced job after 30...

.....Whichever you want.......

you want magic? Blm Whm
WAnt melle? Mnk thf war
want a lil of both? rdm

there.......


just choose whatever suits you best

Do white mage. You don't need to level BLM much if at all to take WHM to 30, you can wear level 1 RSE even if you're tarutaru all the way to 32 or so, and the only spells you really need are Protectra, Cure, Cure2, Regen, Poisona, Raise, Sneak, Invis.

WHM 30 lets you take BST, BRD, SMN, BLM, RDM to level 60ish.

[Wind Adept]

If you're going to be a mage, level WHM. RDM/WHM, BLM/WHM, SMN/WHM, and BRD/WHM are all acceptable.
If you want to be a melee, level WAR as a sub. The only melee jobs I can think of that one might not be subbing WAR ideally would be THF, RNG, or, if you're considering it at all, BST, which you would sub WHM for.

[--e]

melee = WAR
mage = WHM

what the guys before me didn't mention is that you do NOT want to start as whm, assuming you value your sanity. Start as BLM, take it to 18, sub it to whm which you'll take to 30.

You also seem to be (from the tone of your post) perpetuating the incorrect generalization that advanced jobs are somehow better, cooler, or more L337. That's bullshit. Play whichever job fits your personality the closest, not a job that's "advanced."

edit: Keep your subjobs up to date this time, eh?

[Capathyst]

well dont liket eh basic jobsb ecause monks i dontl ike h2h, theif i really dont like daggers to much either and i absoulutely HATE axes

[Capathyst]

i need some help, because what i really want to play is a taru dark knight but i dont htink anyone will invite me into the party as a warrior on taru i dont know what to do

[--e]

Okay, well thats reasonable.
As you're completely ignoring the mage jobs, I'll assume you want to melee or tank.
Take war to 18, mnk to 15, war/mnk to 30.
From there open up PLD, DRK, SAM, and DRG and see what you like. I've omitted RNG and NIN because if you can't be bothered to level your subjob, you're gonna have one hell of a time affording either.

edit : reply to your self-reply - Don't worry about race. People will invite a taru WAR, especially up to level 30. Don't be gimp or an idiot and your race won't be a liability.

Tarutaru warrior get party, if they have a good subjob (Mnk is best pre 30) have good gear, and Use GAxe (Everyone with half a brain LOVES Shield Break).
