Ok I'm a little confused I've read numerous website but it's left me none the wiser?
What is needed for Black Mage unlock?
Is it; 30 THM 15 Archer..... 30 THM 15 PGL or is it 30 THM 15 ACN???
Sorry if this has been asked before but as I said I've read website and they all tell me different answers? Can someone answer this for me.
Thanks!

I found this site. http://www.ffxivguild.com/ff14-job-requirements-arr/
seems legit. It says archer
seems legit. It says archer
It's confusing though.. Why would Black Mage need archery? Even the official website (ffxiv lodestone) says 30 THM 15 Pugilist!! That's why I'm so confused lol.

There's the problem of confirmation bias given only a few days to find out. It's possible that it just requires any martial class plus Thaumaturge; I guess we'll know what's right given a little more data.
I started as an arcanist because some guide said that was a good pair with both thaums and conjurers.

Level THM to 30, do the lvl 30 class quest. After that the BLM quest will be available and it will tell you what the requirements are!
EDIT: I leveled PUG to 15 b/c I thought DRG needed it. Turns out that it was MAR level 15...so I understand about not wanting to waste your time.

What i think they intend to do is have players be more diverse with the different class. Which is pretty fun to level different classes at early levels unlike FFXI.

Well, they are both ranged DPS...so that part makes sense...

It's also in our wiki >.>

If you read the archer quest text, it speaks about being able to pay attention to your surroundings and use your knowledge to exploit enemy weaknesses. I think that is how they are linking it to THM to get to BLM.
There was a lot of confusion about this but it was mainly because in version 1.0, support job was pugilist and when datamined people saw ARC and thought ARCanist.
Confirmed as Archer anyway now and good luck!

I took pugilist to 12 due to false info. Then I took ACN to 15 due to false info. Finally the game told me I need Archer so I now have archer at 15. Worst... case... scenario.
Well, now you have more cross class abilities? lol

Now you have both Second Wind and Raging Strikes!
Those are some of the most useful cross-class abilities available.
Not so bad. ;)

Yeah, I don't understand the whole "wasted levels" attitude. The beauty of the armory system is that nothing is ever "lost" (much like XI). A 12 PGL gets Featherfoot, Second Wind & Internal Release - 3 VERY nice abilities for any class. And while I may not have much interest in MNK at the moment, that may change in the future - plus, if the game is a 5-10 year journey like is being touted, I might want a change of pace sometime. Pick it back up, beat on mobs for 10 minutes to get the feel back, and then carry on - dungeon, guildhest, whatever takes my fancy

Nice thanks.
I'm level 30 on my final quest: Face Your Demons.
Well I can't get past the first part because I can't find the third npc to give the flyer to. I've been in Vesper Bay a LONG TIME, more than an hour.
So, was there anything special about the third one? Sometimes they do hang out in trees. I went to every roof top to look.
Thanks, an answer woudl be greatly appreciated.
