I started the game on July 30, 2007, with every intention of taking BLM to 75 first.
By necessity, I had to level WHM to sub it. As I did, I started realizing how in-demand a good WHM was...party invites were a given. That, and the rush I get from keep everyone alive, healthy, and un-enfeebled single-handedly, caused me to change my mind and take WHM to 75 first, instead.
Now I've fallen in love with COR, but...no matter how much I play that job, I'll still always be known as "Silv, the WHM", LOL...

well, when i first started the game when it came out I had every want to be a Ranger. However, due to real life i was forced to retired from the game. I've been back for about 10 months now and have the chance to lvl PLD... and i've loved every second of it.

I started out as a Warrior, wanted to be DD and deal out the hard hitting numbers :), I leveled it to 65 totally gimp etc -.-, I had samurai as my subjob at 30, hadnt leveled nin, thf or anything else other than monk for early on stages ^^, decided I should level Sam to 37, and just kept going... also heard it was easier to defeat Maat with, so Sam is 75 and is and prolly will remain to be my Main Jorb.

MNK was my first 75. I remember getting the very first strategy guide and spending hours before the game was even loaded trying to figure out what job i rly wanted to play. i picked war as my first thinking it would be a good middle job that i could learn a lot of the mechanics thru. but as most newbs learn with warrior, ninja sub was needed to lvl that job so i eventually gave up on it and picked up mnk. i found this job to be amazing, hit fast and hard and made the first ten lvls go by in a breeze. I even made it to 75 in bout 3 months with war sub lol. It took me 3 yrs to finally get my ninja to sub lvl and i dont even consider subbing anything else anymore.(sep maybe dnc) I swore id never lvl ninja farther than 37 but low and behold 5 yrs later 75nin >.< For anyone jus starting the game i do suggest trying mnk....its not the most useful but it is def very enjoyable.

started off headstong that i was gonna be a thf. it's what i am known to be in any fantasy game setting i have EVER played. then i found sam and just couldn't stop. sadly thf STILL isn't 75. got sidetracked by dnc when that job came out. ppl point and laugh, until ls leader seen another dnc solo charby, now he wants me to solo it for ls members. maybe someday i will get bk to basics and lvl my long over due thf, but i just dont see it happeening soon.

I levelled WHM to 75 as it got invited a lot was lvling it initially so i could solo DRG.DRG is still 63 but after WHM ,BLM and RDM followed Mana>DD path i guess!.

I bought my version of FFXI in japan thinking that i could change it to english. Turned out i was wrong. I remember choosing my country "Bastok" then i get to the job selection. The only job i was able to read was Monk. so i chose that and that was my first job to 75.

I leveled rng and whm simultaneously til 60 (and the ranger nerf). I decided to finish whm first because I could get much quicker invites.

Paladin (Tarutaru)
I just love the thrill of being able to take hit, and not die right away. Also the fact that i can cure people so they dont die.
And now that im 75, i like to laugh at all the *** holes who gave me a hard time, cause i have 1638 HP when eating carbonara. and i cant wait till my DRK is 70+ OMG its gonna be a blast =D

My first job was Blm to 30... i loved the job in others games and thought itd be fun... but then it became needing to buy spells every 5 secs when i leveled. So i unlocked every job and began my what was called by my LS "Journey/pilgrimage through the dunes" i almost got every job outta the dunes that i really wanted to play... then i became bored with each and everyone of them... then low an behold it hit me CORSAIR.... i still dont understand how i did it nor how I ever got the money to get it as my first 75.... but friends along the way helped and noe Cor is my "baby".

I first wanted WHM to 75 since it seemed like an easy job, got bored of it by level 18 and a 75 fully geared BLM passed me in the dunes, Used Burst II on a gob, and the damage made me switch to BLM.

Yep, Ive seen a bunch of 75 dnc's soloing it, I once saw a 75 dnc trio and it died quickly,also I've seen a 75THF/NIN kill it along with a whm giving out a few cures for when Utsu wasnt up.THF and DNC are both very good jobs in my opinion

I started out as thf. I was going to do thf and rng and level woodcraft. I thought i had it all planned out when i started..lol. I realized my noob thinking would change. It did. I ended up lvl DRK, which i love it. Took time off to lvl subjobs to 37. war,thf,dnc,nin,sam. I am learning all jobs are fun once you give them a shot. I just loved the DMG DRK does. Is alot of fun It can be more challenging than people think. Im sure whatever you do, you will have fun doing it.

BLU
Before I even started the game I knew I wanted DRK and SAM - I know I wasn't the only guy who thought this would be like FFTactics >.>;
I was ignorant to skillchains, and didn't see any until I pt'd with a BLU for the first time. He was probably doing red lotus > jet stream > fusion. I was impressed with the splodeys, dropped everything I was leveling, and took BLU to 75.

Samurai
Took rng to 37 first because I knew I wanted that to be my sub and it seemed like a solid job for making gil via some 30 cap BCMN's. Sadly, since the two handed update I sub rng maybe three times a year. I finally finished leveling RNG as my third 75 job last month to compensate for the lack of Sidewinder in my WS diet. Still, nothing pleases me more than unleashing some Tachi style fury on everything I fight.
Ever wonder why people have some of their jobs at Lv.75? I sometimes wonder what made people decide why they wanted to level that job first.
What made you say you wanted to level a specific job to 75 first?
So, as much of my TL;DR story no one will read, what was the reason you picked your first job to 75?
--------------------- For mine, it was based on a Linkshell I was in before I left. One thing that never changed before was picking a job first starting out. I wanted to Level DRG badly. Then came along certain people who picked on me day in and day out bout leveliing or "touching" their job. While some got praises and the best key tips to keep in mind, I got the crap end of the stick and heard "GIMP GIMP GIMP GIMP GIMP".
Wanted to be a DRG- Someone came along. Wanted to be a MNK- same person. Wanted to be a SAM- Same person again.
BLM was taken in the shell.
RDM was Taken.
WHM was taken.
PLD was taken.
NIN was taken.
Hell, even BLU WAR and DNC were taken.
THF I got picked on a lot.
COR I got choked on.
While looking at all the jobs and trying to better myself by asking questions, all I ever got was "YOU GIMP MY JOB. JUST GTFO" instead of "Maybe trying this or this for now until you get this. Then switch out this for that onn macros to be more efficient."
So I picked ONE job no one took past 37. RNG.
I got it up past 37 and took it to 40. Wasnt sure what I wanted to do. But kept going up and up and up. And finally fell in love with the job when I hit 55 obtaining Sidewinder. I was so happy cause I finally found a Job no one could kick my ass for lol. Hitting 60 was big for me as an accomplishment. As soon as I hit 60, people started asking me questions about RNG and how things were really beneficial for me.
I felt so much better. Than everyone started getting on RNG, and putting me down again. So I quit the shell after the drama-sodes and the lolrng.
Thats why most of the LS I was in never heard I hit 75. Even after obtaining it, I never got a congrats anyways so I didnt care. Being the first one in 3 of my shells to beat ACP after 2 days [even with a shitty body piece] was an accomplishment to me. Cause I learned a lot even though im not finished with CoP and RoZ. Instead of grats, I got shit for it and i still got "Your So Gimp". Not.. even.. one Congrats.. Thanks guys. *blists begin*
But yea, Thats my real reason for hitting 75 and never changing jobs lol. I feel better when people in shells would ask for a RNG's expertise in lower level areas and soloing. Even though my knowledge isnt FULL like most RNG's, I tend to be helpful when its possible. I like telling people options about how to play rng without calling anyone "gimp".
Hoping to create my own RNG LS one day when I get my RNG updated 100% and have known the ins and outs of this job! Even at 75, I still feel I can learn so much more. And hope to in the future for RNG's taking the job up as their main. ^^b
