Mog house and changing jobs

[Evece]

I'm a little confused regarding this command, if i choose to change my main job what happens to my current job of red mage?

Also I'm currently at lvl 16 and have started looking at a sub job, this command comes to me at lvl 18 and can add at my mog house correct?

Lastly; when you get a subjob it only is half of your main job. How do you level it further is this tied into my first question?

ok firstly all job data is stored. so when changing jobs your current job changes (from lvl 16 rdm to a lvl 1 war back to a lvl 16 rdm if you change back) your subjobs lvl is actually 1 when you get it if you sub whm your rdm will be lvl 18 (lvl at which you can do quest) and your whm being lvl 1 is lvl 1 so you will be a rdm18/whm1 to level your subjob you change main jobs to it so you will be a whm1/something. if your subjob is higher then half your main jobs lvl (rdm is 18 and whm is 10) when you sub whm it is lvl 9 (so rdm18/whm10 will be rdm18/whm9) your subjob does not gain xp when it is select as a subjob only your main job will gain the xp. after getting the subjob option a button for subjobs is added to you change jobs menu in your moghouse. i hope i was a help/i hope what i said makes any sense

There's likely a better explanation of this somewhere, but I'm too lazy to use the search command today, so I'll summarize it for ya:

1. Any job you have previously levelled, stays leveled even if you switch jobs in the MH. (Which might be a good idea to try out right about now so you have a few lvl 10 subjob possibilities to play with when you finish the quest later.

2. You can set any job you have unlocked, (except whatever job you are currently playing as a main job, because WHM/WHM would just be odd), as a sub job. That job will remain levelled to whatever point you have it up to, but you can only use abilities and stats from it up to half your current main level. Ex: My WHM is currently in the 64-65 range, if I set it as main job, it will be 64-65, if I sub it on my 70 SMN, it'll appear as 70 SMN / 35 WHM, because subjob is capped at 1/2 main job level. When I decide I'm bored playing SMN that day, I can switch over to 64-65 WHM / 32 SMN if I like, since they stay levelled up. Or, I could sub my lvl 14 RDM job, which would appear as 70 SMN / 14 RDM, since it isn't levelled anywhere near the subjob cap.

3. You set/change jobs at the moogle in your mog house/rent-a-room, or from one of the helpful nomad moogles outside in Norg, Kazham, or Tavnazian Safehold. (There are no moogles in Mhaura or Selbina, so you're stuck with whatever combo you bring there).

4. To level any job, even if it's just going to be a sub for something else, it must be set as your current main job. Any job that isn't your current main does not gain exp. (Conversely it also doesn't lose exp when you get KO'd, which is why you see so many people using /BLM for warp or sleep duty, and /WHM for healing).

Hope that helps you out.

So i can work on my subjob before I get to lvl 18? Change to say WHM then when it gets to lvl 18 add my RDM as a subjob and it will be lvl 16?

Re: Mog house and changing jobs

yes you can work on your subjob before you get to lvl 18. when you sub rdm to a lvl 18 whm while the rdm is lvl 16 its lvl is capped to 1/2 of your main job being lvl 18 making your rdm lvl 9 while its subbed.

Thanks for the clarification, final question is your craft, weapons and magicskills tied to the mainjob you started with, meaning if I change to WHM will all stats be reset..

Everything stays with you. Everything (gil, craft lvls, missions completed etc) is tied to your character, not your job. That's the beauty of ffxi, you can switch as much as you want.
