Rushing for new jobs?Follow

Sorry if there is another thread like this posted, but I'm just curious.

Out of our server, how many of you will actually rush to unlock the new jobs? I personally will, cause heck, I want to be a pirate! :P

Anyways, out of all the people on our lovely server, who'd be rushing for the new jobs is what I'm asking.





And to those of you living in a hole, for some unknown reason if you hadnt found out the new jobs, they are Blue Mage, Corsair, Puppetmaster. ^_^

I'll unlock them, sure. But I won't be in any rush to level them, especially since I'm about 55000 points away from THF75, and I'm really drained. ^_^

Problem will be everyone rushing for new jobs, then cant lvl them cause possibly none can tank or heal.

I don't think I will rush them because I had been planning to level up THF or resume WAR when I'm done with BRD. I might unlock them though, long as they don't require a BC fight again like the Fellowship NPC quest. (Remember the enless queues before the BC the first few days?)
I'll probably head to dunes the next day though, just to study the parties there and see how the new jobs work.

I'll probably get BLU and PPM first thing after installing Treasures. I don't want to be a pirate so I'll hold off on COR for a while. Solo PPM and BLU to 10 first and wait and see what kind of info AK and Mysterytour can get on both before I take either any further. Although BLU is the most likely option to go further if it proves to be a better BST sub than WHM.

BLU all the way, unless they really manage to make the monster abilities weak. BLM RDM NIN DRK DRG BLU. Nothing else appeals to me to take to 75.

Although I may stop at 60 with NIN and BLU just so I can have black ninja and blue ninja outfits. :D

BOO-YAH! I knew you would be a pirate /cheer!

I personally will be taking more time to level up my ghetto SAM. Assault and Besieged are looking mighty good to me. However in an ign preview from the fan fest, the guy played as a 75 THF and was ownd in a bout of besieged.

So I really want to be a powerful SAM since my THF and DRK are REAL underleveled atm.

However, once SAM is no longer on par with a small child I will go and unock them all. PPT looks like it could be some serious fun^^

I'll go out to unlock them right away. But, while I'll look into the new items, I'll try to avoid the boards for a few weeks and try to learn everything on my own. I know some friends will know how to unlock BLU, COR, or PUP, so I'll probably ask them if anything. I'm not in a huge rush, but I'll try to unlock them soon enough.

Leveling is another story. Maybe pull them up to 4-10 for some fun and such. It'll be interesting. However, my plan is to spend a lot of time exploring. Maybe even purposefully buy no maps at the beginning except for, possibly, town maps.

However, while I would like to level PLD, I'm not going to level it when ToAU hits. I figure that the amount of people PTing will be low. Might as well explore with friends. But, again, I'll be hesitant to explore solo, because it's 10x cooler an experience when you go with others. I'll probably go with my CoP static (or at least most of them) and see what we can find.

With my WHM lacking some merits? I hope not everyone rushes to unlock that... how will I exp? ;.;

I actually might buy the expansion and just install it like 1-2 weeks after the whole 'adsagasgfd ToAU' is passed... None of the new jobs actually make me tick.. except maybe Corsair, and I'm -not- a lucky person c.c;;;

Nice idea, but I dunno about this Blue Mage thing c.c; If I do play it, I am never ever getting the ugly AF...
Will see though.. buddy of mine and friend wants to rejoin FFXI.. we will see if it shapes out into anything. Might unlock a job to level with em.

I'm going ot unlock the jobs and tinker with them...but with the surge of people leveling the new jobs...I'm gonna use that to level up blackmage to 60-75 and go from there.

I'll likely hold off leveling blue mage until a few months have passed since s-e mentioned that they will add new abilities to learn instead of having the entire list available right away. It'll give me a bit of time to decide which abilities I want to learn instead of getting a lot and then losing out on being able to obtain some that I can't get anymore because my level has gotten too high.

I really want to try PUP, depending on what rolls it can play in a party (SE said they don't want them to be "replacements" for other jobs, so we might even see a completely new roll)

Otherwise, I'll have to make a decision between BLU and COR.



But I really wanna break some new ground :D
#22 Mar 25 2006 at 3:18 PM Rating: Decent
I'm looking forward to getting lots of merits, seeing as how half of the 75s will be leveling new jobs and camps will be open.

When I think about it, maybe I can full my MP Merits just in time for when ToAU comes out... then maybe I can try unlocking jobs.. or maybe just wait later if there's a scary frenzy (we ALL remember when NPCs companions were introduced hm?) then I'll do.. something else... who knows :D

The goal is, after all.... to have a whole lotta fun. Prefferably out of Valk c.c;

I dont know, I was really psyched last month, but since then ive found that samurai was the job i was meant to play. Just hit 30, {Meditate} & {Sneak Attack} = wtfbbq.. so im planning to take sam quite high.

I probably wont touch any of the new jobs till mid summer, ive got what I want now, and i want to be the best at it. And considering I dont even own CoP, I wont be buying either that or ToAU till mid summer anyway.

Ive heard some people say that you will need to buy ToAU to unlock the new jobs. I really doubt that. That didnt happen with CoP did it? (i dont think so)

This is because CoP= no new jobs. With your basic package you had FFXI and Zilart. Zilart =DRG,SMN and SAM... or whatever three. (then again I think I read SMN was unlockable even without Zilart back there... but anyway... not the point)

So yeah, ToAU=Blue Mage, Corsair and Puppetmaster to get.

NIN, SAM, DRG, and BRD required RoZ expansion to unlock (since most had you going to zones that weren't available without)...smn was unlockable mainly because there were current zones available to unlock it with the ruby.

Dunno if the other RoZ jobs required the disc since I don't remember if some of the zones used were added in the game with RoZ or not...like pld, bst, and rng.

ToAU will more than likely be required for the new jobs because the quest NPCs will require you to go to expansion areas to unlike. That's not to say that s-e might be nice and give you the chance to unlock Corsair or something without it, but I wouldn't bet on it.
