Announcement: New Job

[melodiesmods]

Hello dear players! With the conclusion of the Anniversary event, a new Job is available to all those who participated in it, one way or another. They'll automatically get this Job-- Their Moogles will tell them it has appeared out of nowhere in their crystal and the timing is right after their return to Crystallis. This Job is a bit different from the others, but also compatible with Onion Knight. It comes with a three months bonus. Unlike other Jobs however, this cannot be a default Job upon awaking in Crystallis.

A few more replies will happen in the conclusion thread, but you can safely assume the characters are now back in Aqures Ixen. The Information Post for September will be posted by the fifth, but this shall be a fairly quiet month... So characters can rest (and prepare for Halloween). Last but not least regarding the upcoming application round: new characters will awaken anywhere they want on Crystallis. They're not brought in this time, but wake up from Crystal Stasis after having been summoned months if not years ago. They'll be found by their Moogle and brought to Aqures Ixen, courtesy of the map in Palitutu's Laboratory. More details will be given in the Introduction Log.

CRYSTAL RESEARCHER A Job put together by Palitutu after she discovered the truth about Crystallis and the Cycle. This Job was designed to keep the Heroes of Light in check and ensure the cycle would go as planned. Because this Job was created for the specific purpose to work against them, the Heroes of Light are unable to learn the skills at an increased rate, like they do for other Jobs. Strengths: This Job was built to face any possible eventuality, and as such it is a very versatile Job. Taking far more time than any other Job to master, it also offers a lot more. Using a Black Crystal allows for the Forsaken skill to be used on all Heroes within a certain radius, rather than target them individually. Furthermore this Job is compatible with Onion Knight, making it quite possibly the best possible match to equip alongside a maxed Onion Knight. Weaknesses: This Job is great against Heroes of Light-- Not so much against everyone else. As powerful as Judgement is and as useful as Vanish it, it is unlikely these skills would work against foes such as Garland or the Calamity. A Moogle and a Black Crystal are both required to use Job Switch, the later of which might be impossible to obtain. For Symbiosis to work, one must work full-time as a Crystal Researcher. And most importantly, will it even be possible to max this Job before the Calamity has destroyed the world?

Initial	Symbiosis	Reduces research time on a project to three months.
Five Months	Teleportation	Teleports to a previously visited and non-crystallized location.
Twelve Months	Vanish	Flees the scene instantly and go to safety.
Twenty Months	Forsaken	Disables the Jobs of targetted Heroes of Light.
Thirty Months	Gift of Crystallis	Places Barrier, MBarrier, Haste, Regen and Aura on the allied team.
Forty Months	Judgement	Reduces the enemies' health to 10% and places Curse on them.
Fifty Months	X-Banish	Opens portals between the Interdimensional Rift and Worlds.
Sixty Months	Class Creation	Allows to create Jobs with the remnants from destroyed worlds and past Heroes.
??????????	Job Switch	Instantly switches to any maxed Job.

Question!

[scriptrix]

The description says we can't learn this job at an increased rate like the others. Does this mean it doesn't receive bonus XP for event participation, the Onion Knight passive bonuses, or both? And in that case, how does assigning stored XP from an Exp Orb work for this Job?

Say, for example, Levy took this but left it unequipped for the moment. Next month she would get 2 months to each equipped Job if she participates in whatever double exp event is happening. Can she assign all 4 of those levels to Crystal Researcher with the orb, or only 3 months? Essentially, would this Job cancel out the doubled exp on one of those Jobs? And would it get the extra time from Multi Exp and Double Exp from Onion Knight on top of that, or is it limited to a hard 1 month's worth of advancement?

I hope I'm making sense, just trying to sort this out so I do it right if I decide to go this way.
