Guardian Rune

[MC-]

The item itself said changing job while retaining exp/level. I used to be a lv36 chef changed to alchemist and I am lv1?! WHY?! HOW?! Help?

I'm not sure if it is a misleading typo, or if the information is just altogether incorrect, but reports from every player I know of that has used the Guardian Rune thus far all say the same thing - it does NOT retain your EXP like it says it does. It does allow you to change your job, though. So there is that. -shrug-

My own personal opinion - I think it is a typo, and you aren't supposed to retain the exp. If you can jump freely from being a level 50 Alchemist to Chef to Blacksmith and back, just by the use of a rune, I think that would massively break the game. The people that can afford to buy/make these runes could essentially create a monopoly on the market if they were so inclined, because they'd be able to make anything. Starting over at level 1 makes you reconsider how worthwhile a job-change is, because you'll have to climb your way back up.
