    Re: BLM Subjob Question

    no, you don't loose the levels, think of it as being capped. as your WHM gets higher, your cap on BLM will as well (the cap is always your main level/2).

    the reason you should level WHM to 20 first is because 1) it'll keep you set until 40 BLM 2) you don't want to be running back to Valkurm after you've planted yourself in Jueno (wastes a lot of time) 3) you can reuse the same set of armor so you don't have to buy new ones or keep them around and take up MH space

    Thanks Yyg!

      Ah, so it does raise along with your main job as long you had lvled it already.

      So one other scenario if you dont mind

      -Lvl WHM to 20, then switch back to BLM as main and WHM as sub. Now 18 BLM/9 WHM

      -Lvl BLM to 40, as I go, I automatically gain a lvl on WHM for every 2 on BLM since originally lvld it.

      -At BLM 40/ WHM 20, I switch WHM to main and BLM as sub to lvl WHM, now being 20 WHM/ 10 BLM.

      -Once I have WHM to 30, if I switch back to BLM as main, it will jump back up to lvl 40 from 10? Or do you never set your main as your subjob?

        yes, that will work too.

        remember, you don't loose levels after you level the job.

        Thanks Yyg!

          Sweet, thanks! That will allow me to use my BLM spells as I am lvling WHM.

            The best way to look at it is to lvl your BLM to 20 then just eat WHM all in one shot to get it over with and lvl it to 37 (half of 75) then you can lvl your BLM all the way up to 75 without touching WHM ever again which for some people is too soon.

            As for using BLM spells as a WHM it's usually not a good idea besides the occasional magic burst. You'll find if you try to nuke as a WHM that you won't do even half the damage you do as a BLM unless you get the bonus from the magic burst effect.

              Gotcha. I was thinking just for the lower soloing levels. Dont know if I can lvl WHM all the way to 37 in one shot. Im interested in the benefits of it, but dont know about full time on it without switching back to BLM for a bit.

              The other is spell cost. I only get to play about 2 times a week for a few hours each time, so trying to get Gil and lvl is a pain. However, I might get WHM to 20, then BLM to 40 with WHM sub.

              Then.... lvl THF to at least 15 (Treasuer Hunter?) so I can use the BLM/THF combo for farming and take WHM from 20-37 to round things out before taking BLM from 40 to 75.

              Wow, ok, I think I finally got it. Its tough starting this game out from scratch and trying to learn everything As soon as I read on some things, theres other things I have to understand lol. I have yet to use any of my BLM Job Abilities

                Most spells aren't that expensive. If you can't afford Erase, however, you'll need to either tough it out and apologize to people for not having it or get another job to 40 and do BCNMs for the drop or do a bunch of Wings of Fury and hawk the Astral Rings or try a few Treasure & Tribulations and hope you don't get the mimic. BCNM is a relatively quick way to get gil, but it's hit or miss. You might have to (shudder) farm.

                  We've all been there and can remember how it was to start out, you though are quite lucky in the fact that you can come and ask questions knowing others have done it before you. When alot of us started the only ones to learn from all spoke japanese.
                  As for constantly having to learn new things well that just comes with the job, I've always loved this job because it requires some work and a bit of research to do it the right way. You have to know the elements to Skillchains so you can magic burst and later on you won't do any damage unless you know the weaknesses of the mobs you're fighting. Also there are times when the melee are just too freaking lazy to look up their own skill chain so having a chart ready to go and knowing how to read it is nice too. ^^
