Big ol' Job and Monster type compatibility thread

[BRP]

I don't think there is a thread like this on this forum... and I think it would be wonderful if we had all the information ready to go on the wiki.

Please post which monsters can use what jobs. It wouldn't be bad idea to mention what job monsters start as(and in case of special examples, include which monster exactly. ie: Mother Globe giving RDM/WAR (or something). I'll edit this post with monsters as this things get moving. Feel free to burn a few discs to test them out .

(Pit) Antlion
WAR [Normally start as]

[Hashmalum]

Alla thread at http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.htm...;num=82;page=1 on this subject. I posted my personal findings on it.

[Lordwafik]

Acrolyth took WAR BLM PLD jobs so far, couldnt take MNK, havent tried others.

Birds DRK WAR COR NIN THF

How is COR even possible?

[Not Kuno]

Orobon can be PLD, start as WAR.

[Thistle]

Wow, an Alla post with actual useful information. I can't believe I'm going to bookmark that for later use. All my info I would have posted here is already there, so I won't repeat it.

[Not Kuno]

Always a good chance to fill our wiki with what you know. I made a pankration monster template nobody used yet. ;_;

Not all alla users are allatards. Just like not all BG users are elitists. Anyways, missing from Myou's Alla post is info on starting jobs and a couple usable jobs.

Dragons
Starting job: War
Usable jobs: blm brd war
NM starting jobs: Ash dragon war/blm

Wyvern
Starting job: War
Usable jobs: rdm war thf
NM starting jobs: Vouivre war/thf, Sieryu war/rdm

Alla thread is missing that Antlions can be Paladin and if I remember correctly Thief also but that needs confirmation.
For what it's worth Treants can't be Beastmaster. <.<

NM starters:
Treant, Emergent Elm, WAR/RDM (Treants are horrible btw)
Crab, Bloody Coffin, RDM/WAR (RDM is horrible btw)
Blue Kraken, Fe'e and Proteus, SAM/-
I remember reading from another thread that the Soboro NM cluster was a DRG

[Myou]

I'm glad to see my information is slowly making its way around the different forums. I've added the additional information that people here have provided that I did not have yet. Please keep testing and posting so I can add even more data and hopefully soon with everyones help we will have ALL the information possible.

Thanks again to everyone that has provided information

-Myou-
-ClanDragon-

Neglected infos This is still an awesome chart.
Some small positive additions from observation
Spider - RDM
Treant - WHM
Eft - RDM and BLM
Worm - WAR

Edit: The spreadsheet author might not be checking here but I'll add my findings here anyway

Orobon - BLM

[Myou]

Updated...the more you add more...the more I'll update

Necro-bump, but Marsh Murre in Mire starts as COR/---. Some monsters come with a different starting job if you capture them in another area, however, catching Ba in Batallia Downs will never get you a COR/---.

NMs usually have different job from normal monster, for example,

Leech
Main job: WAR BLM RDM DRK
Sub job: WHM THF
Normal leech: regardless of area or colour variation will come as WAR/--- always
Chocoboleech: WAR/RDM
Masan: DRK/WAR
*BC20 leeches*
Prune: BLM/---
Pepper: DRK/---
Phoedme: RDM/---

[Hashmalum]

The jagils in Mt. Zhayolm also start out as COR.
