Change to Alchemist and grab Potions

[Shoruke]

I think I'll sub Alchemist and buy Throw Item with my JP, and save the rest for later.

I suggest Potions first. Alchemists are going to have a tough time if they can't use items at all.

He has a point. You can't use Throw Item with an item you don't have the skill for. You'll still be able to drink potions yourself, but without the Potion skill you can only use them on yourself.

[Tsuchigumo550]

All right, do that instead because it makes sense.

[The Fool]

...Is no one going to state where they want to start on the battlefield? I don't think we can start until people place themselves. He said that the current positions were placeholders... o_o

[Alexandria]

Well I'll start just behind you so I have space to move out and flank once the fight behind.

[Tsuchigumo550]

I'll start in one of the right-most positions?

[Shoruke]

I've also been waiting for GWG to post his Job / Ability loadout.
Even if you're going to save JP for later, you should at least set Item as your secondary skillset, since you can drink potions (but not use them on friends) without buying the ability.

Actually, I'll go Archer. Purchase Covering Fire, set Archer as subclass.

I don't get why you would do that. I assume the second instance of "archer" there is a typo?

[scapheap]

I'll start at middle right space and set Items as my sub-command.

So that I'd have my custom class + archer?

[GreatWyrmGold]

First things first, you need to pick your active job. You can pick Squire, Alchemist, Archer, or your unique job, Mechanic.

You'll probably also want to pick a secondary "active" ability set. For instance, if you go into battle as a mechanic, you can choose to also use your Alchemist abilities.

However, you need to buy abilities with JP before you can use them (the exception being that, even if you don't buy the ability to use Potions on other people, if you have Alchemist abilities set you can still use potions on yourself). You have 150 JP in each job, and you spend JP from a given job to buy the abilities from that Job's ability list.

So for instance, a very basic setup would be to take the Squire class and take the Rush ability, set Items (the Alchemist ability set) as your secondary active ability set, and buy Potions as an Alchemist ability. This would let you use potions on yourself or adjacent allies.

If you wanted to focus on ranged combat, you could switch Job to Archer and take the bowgun, buy the Charge+4 Archer ability, set your Mechanic skills as your secondary skillset, and buy Table Construct. Then you can place your construct, hop on, and spam Charge+4 while your construct moves you forward.

Um...I will go with the second option. Let's see if this stuff starts to make sense after a few battles.
JP aren't temporary, right?

[Shoruke]

Okay, just to make sure I have all of this straight.

Just so you know, Defend is an innate ability for Squires; even without equipping or even purchasing it with JP, Squires can use the defend command. The only point in buying it would be to equip it when you switch Jobs.

I'll give you guys, say, 8 hours to verbally slap me upside the head if I've got something wrong, and then we can get this show on the road.

[scapheap]

sub command should be Items for Grace and I mean middle left space(I been getting right and left mixed up for a while now.)

[Tsuchigumo550]

As far right as I can get, as I plan to go in for a hit-and-run.
Which I already am. Ok.
