Job/sub combos.

First off, gamefaqs doesn't allow direct linking, so you might get an automated e-mail ^_^;

Next, I think I'll start out Monk, then head for Monk/Thief, then Ranger/Thief (need cash), and then Ranger/Samurai for major weapon skills

Select Job/Subjob Combination FAQ.

Quick clarification: your sub's level is not 50% of what it is normally. Instead, your sub's level is capped at 50% of your main. For instance, if you were 20 WAR/ 20 THF and choose WAR/THF, it'd be interpreted as 20 WAR/ 10 THF. Reversed, you'd be 20 THF/ 10 WAR. If you were a 20 WAR and 6 THF and you went THF/WAR, you'd only get 3 of your WAR levels.

Also, just to make sure, if you were 20 WAR and 6 THF, with WAR as your main and THF as your sub, you don't get a free 4 lvls of THF. Correct?

Post by **Jonathan** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 5:31 am

Correct. And, you don't lose any levels of THF, either. You'd be 20 WAR/ 6 THF, with all your levels of THF. You just couldn't get any more than 20/2=10 levels of THF until you leveled your WAR.

I guess if there are still enough people playing this game a month from now, I'll start playing too. In that case, I'm thinking of calling Samurai/something. Maybe the something will be ninja, maybe monk, or maybe thief.

actually I changed my mind I want to be a thief/ninja

hey, at least I am not evil fighter/mage dual wielding 2 wakizashi and life draining whip

Alright, so I'll probably be playing a Red Mage as main, and will level both BlM and WhM for subs, and switch between them as necessary. Probably will do BlM first though.

Now all I need to decide is what race to use, Hume or Tarutaru. Tarutaru has the huge edge in MP, but sucks in the other departments. And they look pretty ridiculous. Hume looks cooler but at high levels, will have like over 200 less mp than a similar level Tarutaru. Hume are also less frail though so would die less.

Decisions, decisions.

heh, glancing at the jobs list, unless there is some completely broken class combo that just rapes, I would be theif main and ninja sub. Mostly because they have improved chance to get items. and that's what I'm all about! min-maxing stat haxing! and ninja, just so when i get those 2 uber swords, i want to use both of em!

then again, if theifs die too much, Ill switch to some other warrior class. It's what happened in AC2 with Defender (tank, die once a week) and Bounty Hunter (items/dual weild die once a day). probably dragoon since i love the idea of a melee class with pets, which were overpowered in AC2.

loleol

my goal in every rpg = dual weild glowing swords

Post by **Jonathan** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:20 pm

I'll probably be a Hume Warrior with the eventual goal of DRK/WAR or DRK/SAM. Dunno what my first sub will be; I'll figure out what we need before it's time.

Post by **Jonathan** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 6:35 pm

So what are you gonna be, Paul?

Alan · Post by **Alan** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 6:46 pm

Well after reading even more about Red Mages it seems like most people feel that Hume or Mithra make the best ones, for whatever reason.

Good enough for me, I'll be Hume then I guess.

Here's another acronym:

Most likely Summoner/Something...will not be a tank class

Post by **Jonathan** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 7:19 pm

So it's up to me and Vinny to tank everything, at least until we join a LS.

Bring it on.
