This guide is intended to help with leveling a job to 30 quickly, and making some gil along the way as well. it is intended for newer players, but i hope that more experienced players will find things of interest here to. experiment with the methods and tactics shown below as you want, you may just improve them, and most important: have fun.
- Lv1 - Gear and starting out. the starting gear for the five races, each set gives a total of +6 defense but has no headgear. buying a lv1 Bronze Cap or Circlet for an extra 1 defense is worthwhile if you have the gil. some other (and slightly more costly) options are the Bronze Harness Set and Robe Set, these are bought from npc shops and have slightly better defense. alhough they do suffer from the same fashion issues...
if you have just made a character, you will start with a few items, a weapon based on your job, and a scroll if you start as Black Mage, White Mage or Red Mage. these weapons are fine to use for a while, although better options are available.
- some better gear for each job at lv1:
- For more advanced players leveling the extra jobs:
| Blue Mage: Bronze Sword, Bronze Harness Set |
Puppetmaster: Cat Baghnakhs or Cesti, Animator, Robe Set |
Corsair: Bronze Sword, Bronze Harness Set (no ranged weapons are available at lv1, however you can get a Marksmanship weapon at level 5) |
Dancer: Cesti (or Bronze Dagger if you want to level up your dagger skill early), Bronze Harness Set |
Scholar: Ash Staff, Robe Set (SCH learns the spell Stone at lv4, until then you will only be able to use the lv1 spell of your chosen subjob) |
