Newbie FAQ (Gardening FFXI)
February 16th, 2007Q)What are Beastman Seals for?
A)Beastman Seals are used to get in to special battle fields, where you can battle group of NM mobs. If you win against them, a treasure chest will pop, where you can get spells, precious stones, weapons, armor and cash.
To do this, you will need to go to Jeuno Port dist., trade 40 for Lv40mob, 50 for Lv50mob, or 60for Lv 60 mob, for an special Orb that unlocks the gate to the battle field. The battle fields are the same as the ones you will enter in your Mission battle against the Dragon.
Q)How can I get a sub-job?
A)You need to clear a special sub-job unlocking quest wich is offerd to you at Lv18 on ANY JOB. You only need to clear it once. They are offerd in Selbina or Mahura, and you will need separate items for each. If you get offered in Selbina, you can't get offered in Mahura, and visaversa.
Q)What is a sub-job?
A)A sub-job is an ability for you to add to your main-job, the ability of another job.
There are restrictions on a sub-job.
1)You can only utilize the ability, the 1/2 the level of your main-job at max. This means that even if you have a 15 WAR, you will need 30 MNK or higher to fully utilize the 15 WAR abilities and status boosts, of MNK30/WAR15. If you put WAR15 as your main, it will become WAR15/MNK7.
Q)Can you switch around your job at will?
A)Yes, you can switch around between any job at your will in your Mog house, on all primary jobs. For advanced jobs, you will need to unlock each of them first, through a quest you can get offered at Lv30 on any job.
Same goes for the sub-jobs. You can choose any main/sub combinations, as long as it is unlocked in case of an advanced job.
Q)My main-job level is 30. What happens when I switch to another job that is Lv1? Does my Level for the main job get resetted?
A)The Level for THAT JOB will NOT be resetted by changing jobs. The job level is unique to each level, so you can have multiple Lv for your character. Look at my signature below, and you can see how it is.
Q)What happens to the skills if I change when I change jobs?
A)The skills on weapons and spells are Character unique. This means that once you have gained that skill, it will never be lowered. However, the max level of skill that you can UTILIZE is set with a cap, dependant on level, so you will start with your skill capped out on that skill, if a job you change to also has that skill.
For example, you raise a WAR and have a Single-handed sword skill of 50. When you change to a Lv1 THF, You will notice that your Single Handed Sword skills are already maxed out and the number is in blue, meaning it will not go up until you raise a job level. This will continue to be so, until your THF job level exceeds your WAR job level.
Q)How can I unlock the advanced jobs? Do I need to clear the Sub-job quest first?
A)When you reach Lv30 on ANY of the primary jobs, you will be able to get offered the job unlocking quests. There is 1 quest for each of the Advanced jobs. And no, you do not need to clear the Sub-job quest in order to get the advanced jobs, although it will be highly recommended.
Q)Can I double wield with a sub-Ninja?
A)Yes you can double wield with a sub-Ninja, as long as you have raised your Ninja to atleast Lv10, and subbing it to a main-job of Lv20+.
Q)Can I use a Great Katana on a WAR/SAM (sub-Samurai)? Can I use a two-handed sword on a RDM/WAR?
A)No. There are no Great Katana that is equipable bay a WAR, or a two-haned sword equipable on a RDM. The weapon you can equip will be restricted on your main-job.
Q)I'm a RDM, but my two-handed staff skills are not going up. What is wrong?
A)Because the RDM does not have a Two-handed staff skill. There are staffs that the RDMs can equip, but your skill will not go up since the RDM has no skill for them. Being able to equip a weapon doesn't necessarily mean that you have the skill for them.
Q)What pros can I look for in a sub-job?
A)The pros you can get by adding a sub-job is as follows:
1)Boost in HP
2)Boost in MP if the sub-job has a MP
3)Boost in Stats
4)Added job abilities and spells that job can use at that sub-job level. (with the exception of 2hr ability)
5)Addes skills in weapons and spells, if the main job doesn't have them, although it will be restricted to the cap of the sub-job's level.
6)Ability to utilize SP Weapon skills on some weapon/sub-job combination that can't be used in some weapon/main-job combination, like Red Lotus in single-handed sword.
Q)I want to be a Summoner. I know you get Carbuncle as a default summon monster, but where do I get the rest?
A)There are Titan, Ramuh, Garuda, Shiva, Ifrit, and Leviathan, as summon monsters you can get, by clearing a quest that needs you to fight these and win against. You will need atleast Lv55 party, Lv60+ recommended, in order to win against them. You can also get summon elementals, in forms of a scroll. Some of these are mob's drop item, some can be gotten from a Beastman seal Orb battle. You can find the elemental scrolls in AHs also.
