First thing's first: reach level 10 on your archer, complete the level 10 class quest, then go pick up any of the following (Marauder, Gladiator, Conjurer, Arcanist) and level one of those to the level 50 cap instead as your first class.
You will thank me later when:
1. You come to understand that wait times for DPS queues for 4-man instances can be atrociously long.
2. You learn that every subsequent class you level after the first is capped will receive a permanent and substantial boost in experience gained from each and every activity, each and every time.
3. You appreciate how in demand and well-rewarded tanks and healers are (faster queue times, bonus exp and gil, all meaning you'll hit 50 that much sooner), especially given that there is a new and overwhelmingly popular DPS class on the way that will clog the DPS queue that much more.
4. Playing as a tank or healer will better acquaint you with FFXIV's PvE aspect, meaning that you'll later prove that much better a DPS for your knowledge, experience, and application of said knowledge and experience.
Welcome to Balmung.
