Er, you guys know the European release was last Thursday right? I haven't seen a single topic on it in here!
Anyway, I have just spent a week going through hell trying to obtain my advanced job in time for my non-importing friends starting the game... I would like to offer some advice. If you want to become a summoner - pick something else. You need to get an item that is probably one of the rarest drops in the game. I spent 18 hours killing the same monsters in the same location before I got one of these things to drop. It's just not worth it!
When travelling through the ranks I thought the sub-job quest would be the hardest I'd ever do, but ohhhh no....

You can do every advanced job quest if you like, but obviously you can only ever use 2 jobs at a time (main and support).
However if any of the other quests are anywhere near as ballbreaking as the summoner one, there's no way in hell I'm attempting them.

Couldn't you have just bought what you needed from an AH? (Auction House)
No - any item with the green 'EX' symbol can't be bought/sold/traded...
Also I then had to take this item around the world to expose it to all the weather conditions, some of which were very rare. Not fun. I estimate a total of 25 hours spent on that one quest.
