5: You don't need to bother with a support job until level 30. So if you are a WAR, equipping a BLM sub might not be a great idea, but it won't hurt your stats in any way. Only status bonuses are applied to your main job. 4: Equipping a support job can have negative effects on my stats. XP is not shared between your main job and support job. 3: When I have a support job equipped, half of my XP earned goes to it (or any other fraction, I've heard a few variations). A support job must be leveled by equipping it as your main job and gaining experience with it, just like any other job. 2: My support job is automatically half the level of my main job, no matter what level it originally was. Once you unlock it, it is unlocked for good, no matter what job you have. 3:Common Myths/Misconceptions: 1: When I unlock a support job, it can only be used in conjunction with the main job I did the quest with. Also note that any skills or abilities (except the 2 Hour Special) that your support job would have at its capped level will be retained in your Main Job, along with status bonuses. As you can see, you must actually level the job you intend to be your support job. You equip a level 6 Black Mage as your support job. Example 2: You are a level 20 White Mage. You equip a Monk subjob, which was level 20 also. This cap is calculated by halving the level of your main job. When equipped, the game will actually 'cap' the level of your support job. When you choose this option, you can select any job except your current job to be your support job. After you complete the quest, the option to set a Support Job appears in your mog house. 2: Support Job Rundown: Many people don't understand how the Support Job works, so here it goes. They only spawn at night, but aren't too rare. Get a very strong group, or a high level to help you out. You need to defeat Bogys, which are ~level 25, and extremely dangerous. Simply head out to Bubu again, and kill Mighty Rarabs until they drop a tail. Just search Buburimu Penninsula for Bull Dhamels with a party, and defeat them. She, like the man in Selbina, requires the completion of 3 tasks.

Mhaura In this one, you want to find the old lady NPC who offers to give you some useful information. Head to the beaches or oasises on Valkurm, and kill Snippers until they drop the apron. Head a bit down into the mines with a group, and draw out Ghouls and kill them. These can be accessed from the Konascht Highlands. You can either hang around Valkurm until night falls and compete with 6+ other groups (bad idea) or head to the Gusgen Mines. These skulls are found on Ghouls, who only spawn at night on Valkurm, or in some dungeons. Make sure to have a WHM to cure any poison you may get. Just head out to Valkurm with a decent group, and slaughter all the DamselFlies you see. His three tasks are as follows: 1: Obtain a DamselFly Worm. There you will see an old man, who claims he will give you useful information if you complete some tasks. Selbina Go to the SW corner of town, right by the shore.

Mhaura is generally harder, but Bogy's are easier to find than Ghouls in general. Selbina has easier monsters, but the Ghouls are hard to find. You can accept the quest from two places, Selbina and Mhaura.

1: Obtaining the Support Job This is a relatively long quest, and before level 23-25 it requires a group, or help from a high level friend.
