This is quite possibly OFN but I didn't see anything on it so I figured id share an interesting glitch that happened to me last night. I was leveling my lol26thf last night and having quite a bit of fun, when I was done exping for the night, I decided to pump a few of my left over merits into dagger skill. I changed job to BLM, pumped 3 merit points in dagger for +4 skill, and then changed back to thf. It was at this point I noticed on my 26 thf, that my merit menu hadn't gone away. I was able (I assume if i had points, I didnt have any left to test) to merit THF job specific merits, and THF combat skills, as a 26 THF.
Obviously the job specific merits wouldn't be active until 75, but the fact that I could merit combat skills I couldn't ordinally merit with either of my 75's (marksmanship) raises a few points. 1) Would I have been able to even merit these things if I had points left to spare, or would it have given me some error message? 2) If I could have merited it, this has some huge potential for up and coming WAR's and what not as they could merit their axe's/sword's before reaching 75.
Excuse the shitty quality as these are saved in MSpaint (._.) but you get the point:

If this is OFN, my apoligies, ZAM me, lock it, whatever, this was the first that I or anyone in my LS had heard of or seen anything like this.
