I didn't really play far enough into 1.0 to unlock any Jobs, so I never got to experience that aspect of gameplay, but I was wondering if Class and Job levels were independent, or linked? I know that you just equip an item to transform into said job but I've also seen mention of leveling jobs and what not. If I'm, for example, a level 50 Thaumaturge, and I equip to Black Mage soul stone am I also a level 50 Black Mage?
The reason this came to mind was actually because of Arcanist, Scholar, and Summoner. If we assume that Arcanist can become either Job, and not one or the other, and we assume that Scholar relies on Mind while Summoner relies on Intelligence, does that mean that you need to spec your attribute points a particular way based on which Job you really intend to play, thus sort of limiting your ability to play the other? That's assuming that the Jobs are linked to your Class level and use the same Attribute points, as I said I don't know which is the point of this thread!
In short, can someone please explain how Jobs work as far as levelin and attributes go?
I do believe that jobs take the level of your class, so yes, a level 50 Thaum is a level 50 Black Mage. I'm not sure how Arcanist works, but I'm sure that it'll be, for example, a level 50 Arcanist is both a level 50 Summoner and level 50 Scholar.
