Their weapons only increase the player's Item Level.They cannot be used to progress in the Main Scenario or other sidequests.The differences when playing a limited job are the following: Currently Blue Mage is the only limited job in the game, whose gameplay is more focused for the single-player challenges of the Masked Carnivale. "Limited Job" is a term used for combat disciplines with a different gameplay and purpose. Miner – uses a pickaxe and sledgehammer to mine minerals from the earth.īotanist – uses a hatchet and scythe to harvest materials from trees and other flora.įisher – uses a fishing rod and fishing gig to catch and spear fish and other marine items from rivers, lakes, and seas. Movement is restricted by casting times, but they excel at inflicting high burst damage. Magical ranged DPS attack foes using a variety of arcane arts. Sage - protects allies with barriers and augments own attacks using aether-infused nouliths. Scholar – utilizes the faeries' magicks to heal the wounded and bolster the strength of their allies. Upgraded from Conjurer.Īstrologian – employs a star globe and divining deck that grant power over both allies' and enemies' fate. White Mage - delivers comrades from the direst of afflictions by using healing magic and magical barriers. Unlike the subdivisions of DPS, these are not considered separate roles for the purposes of learning role actions, but they are considered separate in the Party Finder, and the Duty Finder will attempt to form parties using one of each for 8-man duties.Ĭonjurer – harnesses the power of earth, wind and water elements to restore and strengthen, with wands and canes as medium. Healers are further subdivided into two types Pure Healers which focus on healing already dealt damage assisted with regen effects, and Barrier Healers which focus on pre-emptive healing with shields. Jobs that were not available in A Realm Reborn do not have a base class, instead being unlocked at an increased level (except Blue Mage, which starts at 1 due to having vastly different gameplay from other jobs).

Equipping a job grants improved stats, and access to powerful, specialized abilities and equipment. The former three are used for quests which involve combat and duties, while the latter two are for Synthesis and Gathering respectively.Įach of the Disciplines of War and Magic classes also has one or more associated jobs which can be unlocked by leveling the appropriate disciplines and completing the appropriate quests. In addition to the base disciplines, each job fills one of five roles: tank, healer, DPS (which is further divided into melee, physical ranged and magic ranged), crafter, and gatherer. The current weapon or tool equipped defines what class the player character is, with each specific class having different weapons they use. Each different discipline can divide into several classes.
