1. #1[JOBS] Overview

   Keys: Profession, Job, Jobs, Disciplines, Discipline

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   In the world of Vana'diel, adventurers possess the unique gift of mastering multiple disciplines, known as jobs. These jobs represent specialized paths of combat, magic, and support that define an adventurer's role in battle and exploration.

   Upon beginning their journey, a new adventurer chooses one of the six foundational jobs: Warrior, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Red Mage, or Thief. These base jobs are available from the outset and form the core of most adventuring careers.

   As an adventurer grows in experience and reaches level 30 in any job, they may undertake specific quests to unlock advanced jobs—powerful disciplines drawn from the legends, histories, and distant cultures of Vana'diel. Examples include the holy Paladin of San d'Oria, the shadowy Dark Knight, the wyrm-slaying Dragoon, the spirit-calling Summoner, and many others introduced through the ages.

   Adventurers change their active job at will within the safety of a Mog House or by speaking with a Nomad Moogle, allowing them to adapt to any situation.

   A defining feature of Vana'diel's adventurers is the Support Job system. Once unlocked at level 18 through a simple quest in Selbina or Mhaura, an adventurer may equip a secondary job whose level is capped at half that of their main job (rounded down). This support job grants access to its abilities, traits, spells, and a portion of its statistics, enabling countless combinations that enhance versatility and party synergy.

   Through this flexible system, a single adventurer can fulfill diverse roles—tanking beastman assaults one day, healing allies the next, or unleashing devastating magic when the need arises—making them indispensable in the ongoing struggle to protect Vana'diel.

2. #2[SUPPORT JOB] Mechanics

   Keys: Dual Job, Multiple Jobs, Support Job, Subjob, Sub Job

   Entry settings

   One of the greatest gifts bestowed upon adventurers in Vana'diel is the ability to draw upon the strengths of multiple disciplines simultaneously through the Support Job system. This sacred technique allows an adventurer to maintain their primary calling while channeling the essence of a secondary job, blending abilities, traits, and arcane knowledge to face any challenge.

   The awakening of this power comes to those who have honed a single job to at least the eighteenth level of mastery. In the coastal village of Selbina, the wise Isacio shares ancient tales known as Elder Memories, guiding worthy souls through trials of collection and insight. Across the seas in Mhaura, the venerable Vera recounts The Old Lady, imparting similar wisdom through her own quests. By gathering rare tokens from the wilds—be it damselfly worms and magicked skulls, or rabbit tails and dhalmel saliva—the adventurer proves their resolve, unlocking the ability to weave two paths into one.

   Once awakened, the support job grows in tandem with the primary, reaching only half its height in power. It bestows a portion of its statistics, along with access to many of its spells, traits, and abilities scaled to its level—though certain profound invocations and unique gifts remain reserved for those who walk that path as their main calling.

   This harmonious fusion enables remarkable versatility: a stalwart warrior might borrow the shadows of a ninja to evade deadly blows, a mage could gain the endurance of a monk, or a thief the provocative roar of a fighter to draw enemy ire. In parties facing beastman hordes or delving ancient ruins, these combinations often prove the difference between victory and defeat, embodying the adaptable spirit of Vana'diel's legendary heroes.

3. #3[JOB ADVANCEMENT] Quests

   Keys: Advanced Job, Unlock, Advanced Discipline, Job Unlock, Job Quest

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   While the six foundational disciplines—Warrior, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Red Mage, and Thief—are open to all who register as adventurers, the more esoteric and powerful advanced jobs remain hidden until an adventurer proves their mastery and resolve.

   To walk one of these legendary paths, an adventurer must first raise any single job to the thirtieth level of experience. Only then do the guardians and masters of these ancient arts reveal themselves, setting forth trials that test body, mind, and spirit.

   Each advanced job is tied to specific nations, distant lands, or forgotten legends, and the quests to awaken them often require travel across Vana'diel, communion with powerful entities, or the recovery of lost artifacts. For example:

   • The noble Paladin is granted by the Temple Knights of San d'Oria after proving unwavering loyalty through high rank missions.
   • The shadowy Dark Knight demands a grim pilgrimage to Castle Zvahl and a pact with forces of darkness.
   • The wyrm-slaying Dragoon awakens in the Chateau d'Oraguille after retrieving a sacred lance fragment.
   • The Summoner must face the Terrestrial Avatars in brutal trials across the world to earn pacts with the primal forces.
   • Later arts, such as Ninja from the Far East, Corsair of the Near Eastern seas, or Rune Fencer of distant Adoulin, require voyages to foreign shores and alliances with exotic masters.

   These quests are rites of passage, steeped in the history and peril of Vana'diel. Completing them does not merely grant new abilities—it marks the adventurer as heir to ancient traditions, worthy to wield powers once reserved for heroes of bygone eras. Many who undertake these trials emerge changed, bearing the weight of legends upon their shoulders as they continue the fight against the beastmen and greater threats that loom over the world.

4. #4[PARTY ROLES] Overview

   Keys: Support, Healer, Party Role, DD, DPS, Tank, Roles

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   In the perilous lands of Vana'diel, few adventurers survive long without allies. Parties of up to six brave souls—sometimes bolstered by summoned Trusts or fellowships—band together to face beastmen legions, delve into ancient ruins, and challenge the mightiest Notorious Monsters. Each member fulfills a vital role, their chosen jobs and support combinations weaving together into a tapestry of survival and triumph.

   The foremost role is that of the Tank or Enmity Holder, who stands at the vanguard, drawing the fury of enemies through provocation, flashes of light, or shadowy curses. Masters of this duty—often Paladins with their invincible shields, Warriors roaring defiance, Ninja cloaked in illusory shadows, or Rune Fencers warded by ancient runes—bear the brunt of assaults so their comrades may strike safely.

   Damage Dealers, known as DD, form the spearhead of offense. Melee warriors such as Monks, Samurai, and Dragoons unleash devastating weapon skills in intricate chains, while Rangers rain death from afar and Black Mages call down elemental cataclysms. Their goal is simple yet vital: fell foes swiftly before the party is overwhelmed.

   Healers are the lifeblood of any group, channeling divine grace or scholarly stratagems to mend wounds and banish afflictions. White Mages invoke Altana's mercy with powerful cures and raises, while Scholars manipulate light and dark arts to bolster or debilitate as needed. Without their vigilance, even the sturdiest tank would fall.

   Support roles provide the harmony that elevates a party from competent to legendary. Bards weave songs of valor and respite, Corsairs gamble fate with lucky rolls, Geomancers attune the land's aether to aid allies and hinder foes, and Red Mages offer versatile enchantments. These gifted souls enhance strength, hasten actions, weaken enemies, and turn the tide of battle through subtle yet profound influence.

   In the greatest trials, parties blend these roles masterfully—tanks holding unyielding, healers sustaining life, damage raining unrelenting, and support binding it all together—proving that in Vana'diel, true power lies not in solitary might, but in the unbreakable bonds of fellowship.

5. #5[JOB TRAITS] General

   Keys: Passive, Merit, Job Trait, Passive Ability, Traits, Job Point

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   As adventurers delve deeper into the mysteries of their chosen disciplines, they awaken innate Job Traits—passive gifts of body, mind, and spirit that define the essence of each job. These ever-present boons, forged through relentless training and communion with Vana'diel's aether, enhance an adventurer's prowess in subtle yet profound ways, growing stronger in tiers as mastery ascends.

   Combat Traits steel the warrior's edge: Double Attack grants the fury to strike twice in a single motion, Accuracy Bonus hones strikes to pierce any defense, and Critical Hit Rate invokes the fates for devastating blows. Magic Traits empower the arcane: Magic Attack Bonus amplifies elemental fury, while Conserve MP preserves the mage's vital essence for prolonged battles.

   Resistances form an invisible bulwark against the perils of the wilds—Resist Poison wards off venomous fangs, Resist Paralyze shatters binding curses, and Resist Virus defies the plagues of ancient horrors. Other Traits weave versatility: Auto Regen knits flesh with life's own rhythm, Store TP accelerates the build of battle readiness, and Dual Wield allows blades to dance in tandem.

   Traits from a support job blend seamlessly, adopting the superior tier to amplify the main path's power. In time, as legends surpass mortal limits, Merits and Job Points unlock further evolutions—custom refinements that etch eternal enhancements upon the soul, allowing veterans to defy the gods themselves.

   These traits are no mere mechanics of power; they are the living legacy of Vana'diel's heroes—the unyielding counter of the Monk, the veiled shadows of the Ninja, the primal surge of the Summoner—manifesting in every clash against beastman hordes or delve into forgotten abysses.

6. #6[RELIC WEAPONS] Overview

   Keys: Relic, Relic Weapon, Ultimate Weapon, Legendary Weapon, Mythic, Empyrean

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Scattered across Vana'diel are weapons of unimaginable power, forged in ancient times by hands long turned to dust. Known as Relic Weapons, these legendary arms are said to have been wielded by the greatest heroes of eras past—champions who stood against the Shadow Lord, the Zilart, and threats beyond mortal comprehension.

   Each Relic is bound to a specific discipline: the mighty Ragnarok great axe for Warriors, the gleaming Aegis shield for Paladins, the ethereal Claustrum staff for Summoners, and so on. They are not mere steel and wood, but vessels infused with the aether of fallen gods and crystallized memories of epic battles.

   To claim a Relic, an adventurer must undertake grueling trials spanning years—gathering ancient currency from the most perilous dynamis realms, defeating nightmarish recreations of history's greatest foes, and offering vast fortunes to the goblin smiths who alone remember the forgotten forging rites. Stage by stage, the weapon awakens: from dormant relic to radiant ultimate form, unlocking weapon skills of devastating potency and granting the bearer strength rivaling the divine.

   Later ages brought forth kin to these relics: the searing Mythic weapons born of Abyssea's chaos, each tied to a job's deepest essence through trials of void and vision; and the luminous Empyrean arms, reforged in the fires of Adoulin's frontier, enhanced by the land's primal energies.

   Possessing such a weapon marks an adventurer as a living legend. In the heat of battle against beastman armies or primordial sin eaters, the glow of a fully awakened Relic serves as both beacon of hope for allies and harbinger of doom for enemies—a reminder that even in Vana'diel's darkest hours, the light of ancient heroism endures.

7. #7[LIMIT BREAKS] Mechanics

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   As adventurers push the boundaries of mortal potential in Vana'diel, they encounter invisible barriers—ancient seals upon their very souls that cap their growth at intervals of five levels, beginning at the fiftieth. These are the Limits, imposed by the gods or the world's aether itself, demanding proof of worthiness to shatter.

   In the heart of Jeuno's Ru'Lude Gardens stands Maat, the Eternal Hero—a peerless adventurer whose exploits are etched in legend. This enigmatic figure, ageless and unmatched, serves as the final arbiter, issuing five grueling trials known as Limit Breaks. From gathering elusive crystals and hides at the fiftieth, to soloing ferocious wyrms at the sixtieth, delving abyssal depths for forbidden tomes at the sixty-fifth, scaling heavens for divine missives at the seventieth, and ultimately facing Maat himself in a duel beyond comprehension at the seventy-fifth—each quest tempers the soul, breaking the chains that bind power.

   For those aligned with distant nations, Nomad Moogles echo Maat's judgment, offering parallel paths steeped in whimsy and peril. Upon triumph, the adventurer emerges reborn, their level cap sundered, ready to ascend further in the endless pursuit of strength.

   These sacred ordeals are more than trials of might; they are communions with Vana'diel's essence, echoes of the Crystal War's heroes who first defied such limits to repel the Shadow Lord's legions. Only the worthy may claim this transcendence, forging themselves into legends capable of safeguarding the realm from encroaching darkness.

8. #8[JOB POINTS] System

   Beyond the mortal limits shattered by Limit Breaks lies a realm of endless refinement—the Job Point system, where true legends etch their supremacy upon the annals of Vana'diel. Awakened upon reaching the ninety-ninth pinnacle of any discipline, this sacred progression draws aether from every felled foe, beastman or abomination, accruing Job Points as crystalline rewards for unyielding valor.

   These luminous tokens, amassed through ceaseless battle, may be expended at will to unlock five profound categories of enhancement: Job Specific Adjustments for unparalleled mastery of one's path; Incursion Adjustments to conquer the void's deepest horrors; Reprisal Adjustments for vengeance against the fallen; Savior Adjustments to shield the innocent; and Squad Adjustments to fortify the bonds of fellowship.

   Each category bestows tiers of power—traits like enhanced enmity generation, amplified healing potency, or swift weapon skill recasts—scaling with investment until the pinnacle is claimed. A single job may harbor thousands of these points, traded between categories like a merchant's hoard, allowing veterans to sculpt their essence anew for any peril.

   In the grand tapestry of Vana'diel's defenders, Job Points represent transcendence: the Warrior who cleaves armies with tireless fury, the Summoner whose avatars shake the heavens, the Geomancer whose spells reshape battlefields. They are the final forge, tempering adventurers into eternal guardians against the encroaching shadows of Promathia and beyond.

   Entry settings

   In the shadowed annals of Vana'diel's ceaseless wars, heroes forged arms that transcended mortal craft—the Empyrean and Mythic Weapons, pinnacles of power rivaling the ancient Relics themselves.

   Mythic Weapons, known as the Myriad Arms of Balrahn, hail from the abyssal voids of forgotten battlefields. Born from Vigilante blades tempered in Nyzul Isle's trials, they embody the unyielding fury of legendary captains like Balrahn, who cleaved through beastman hordes. Awakened through quests of vision and conquest—Forging a New Myth, Duties, Tasks, and Deeds—these blades, such as Aymur for Monks or Carnwenhan for Bards, shimmer with Afterglow auras, their weapon skills unleashing cataclysms tailored to each discipline. Upgraded in Port Jeuno's forges with vast hoards of Beitetsu, they stand as beacons for those who dare the Abyssea's lightless depths.

   Empyrean Weapons evoke the empyrean realms of divine strife, crafted via the enigmatic Trial of the Magians. These high-damage relics for eastern and timeless arts—like Verethragna's victorious smites for pugilists, Caladbolg's world-rending cleaves for greatsword masters, or Twashtar's stormy daggers—draw names from gods of thunder, victory, and legend. Forged from Abyssea's monstrous remnants and Voidwatch opals, they ascend through tiers to item level 119, their forms reforged in Adoulin's frontier flames with Riftborn Boulders, granting afterglows and skills that echo celestial wrath.

   Wielders of these arms walk as demigods among adventurers, their blades humming with the echoes of Zilart ambitions, Promathian shadows, and the Crystal War's crimson tides—eternal proofs that from chaos and trial, supremacy is born.

    Scattered across the nations of Vana'diel—from the bustling halls of Jeuno to the sturdy forges of Bastok and the arcane spires of Windurst—stand the outposts of the Adventurers' Guild. Here, grizzled commissioners and enigmatic moogles entrust worthy souls with sacred Contracts, challenges designed to hone skills, gather vital intelligence, and amass resources for the endless war against darkness.

    These pacts, known in whispers as Records of Eminence, are ever-changing scrolls of valor: slaying notorious beasts in distant wilds, invoking forbidden spells upon shadowed foes, or procuring rare essences from the world's hidden veins. Each deed completed earns luminous Sparks—crystalline tokens of proven mettle—redeemable for potent elixirs, enchanted tomes, and gear forged to rival the gods' own armaments.

    Veterans pursue exalted Objectives, trials of legend demanding mastery over jobs and alliances, while novices claim swift boons from simpler tasks. Seasonal campaigns rally legions against abyssal incursions, and weekly edicts summon parties to conquer colossal threats. Through these Contracts, the Guild binds the realm's heroes in common cause, their triumphs fueling the light against Promathia's encroaching void and the beastmen's unrelenting hordes.

    To accept a Contract is to etch one's name among Vana'diel's eternal defenders, for in the Guild's ledgers lie the tales of those who turned the tide of fate.

    Upon shattering the seventy-fifth seal and ascending into realms of legend, adventurers in Vana'diel unlock the profound art of Merits—customizable etchings upon the soul that refine one's discipline to unparalleled perfection. These sacred allotments, earned through relentless Merit Parties where six heroes unite in synchronized fury, allow the allocation of points across three hallowed categories.

    Job-specific Merits temper the core path: Warriors amplify their frenzy with Enmity Bonus or Mighty Strikes, Black Mages unleash amplified Tier IV nukes, Summoners empower avatar blood pacts with potent fury. Group 1 and Group 2 Merits weave universal boons—swift recasts for spells, heightened critical strikes, or resilient wards against elemental wrath—shared among the fellowship.

    Each category claims five points per tier, ascending in power until the zenith, with cunning trades between them to suit the battle's tide. In the shadow of the Crystal Tower or amid Abyssea's voids, merits transform veterans into paragons: the Paladin whose enmity devours armies, the Bard whose ballads shatter resolve, embodying the eternal evolution demanded by Vana'diel's unending trials.

These phantoms, invoked by incantations unlocked across the realms, manifest as tireless companions: Shantotto the diminutive Black Mage unleashing cataclysmic hexes, Ayame the swift Samurai cleaving foes with unerring precision, or Trion the steadfast Paladin shielding with divine aegis.

    Born from pacts forged in Jeuno's shadowed vaults, Trusts draw from the annals of the Crystal War and beyond—Prishe the indomitable fist-fighter, Tenzen the honorable ronin, or even the cunning Zeid II as Dark Knight. Each bears a signature job, wielding abilities true to their legend, and may be summoned in parties of up to three alongside living kin, swelling ranks to formidable hosts.

    These spectral legions prove invaluable in solo forays into beastmen strongholds or desperate skirmishes against Notorious Monsters, their unwavering loyalty a bulwark against isolation.

    Born of necessity during the Great Crystal War, when the nations teetered on annihilation, Warriors honed the art of berserk rage—channeling primal wrath to shatter enemy formations. Their roars of defiance echo the ancient Galkan berserkers and the relentless Humes who held the walls against the Shadow Lord's endless tide.

Tarutaru sages and Galkan ascetics alike perfected this art, drawing upon the life force of Vana'diel itself to fuel their relentless assaults.

    Masters of hand-to-hand combat, Monks wield no traditional arms—yet their fists, boosted by knuckles, claws, and cestus, become instruments of destruction capable of staggering even the mightiest dragons.

Masters of evasion and exploitation, Thieves slip through beastman patrols like ghosts, pilfering treasures from the jaws of danger.

    Forged in the gritty streets during the Crystal War, Thieves served as scouts and saboteurs, their daggers flashing in ambushes that crippled Orc supply lines and Quadav forges.
