This guide is intended to help with leveling a job to 30 quickly, and making some gil along the way as well. it is intended for newer players, but i hope that more experienced players will find things of interest here to. experiment with the methods and tactics shown below as you want, you may just improve them, and most important: have fun.
*:Lv1 - Gear and starting out. the starting gear for the five races, each set gives a total of +6 defense but has no headgear. buying a lv1 Bronze Cap or Circlet for an extra 1 defense is worthwhile if you have the gil. some other (and slightly more costly) options are the Bronze Harness Set and Robe Set, these are bought from npc shops and have slightly better defense. alhough they do suffer from the same fashion issues...
if you have just made a character, you will start with a few items, a weapon based on your job, and a scroll if you start as Black Mage, White Mage or Red Mage. these weapons are fine to use for a while, although better options are available.
A starting Theif has: Onion Knife	A starting Red Mage has: Onion Dagger, Scroll of dia	A starting White Mage has: Onion Rod, Scroll of cure	A starting Black Mage has: Onion Staff, Scroll of stone	A starting Warrior has: Onion Sword	A starting Monk has: White Belt
 
*:some better gear for each job at lv1:
Thief: Bronze Sword, Bronze Harness Set, Lauan Shield	Red Mage: Bronze Sword, Bronze Harness Set, Lauan Shield	White Mage: Maple Wand, Lauan Shield, Robe Set	Black Mage: Ash Staff, Robe Set	Warrior: Bronze Axe or Bronze Sword, Lauan Shield, Bronze Harness Set	Monk: Cesti, Bronze Harness Set
