Final Fantasy 14 New Jobs

Jobs are an extension of their base classes, and crave a Soul Crystal to activate. A job is an upgrade to its grade, which means there is no reason to continue using the class once the job is available.

Each job acquires additional role-specific actions based on the job's role in group content (Tank, DPS, or Healer). A chore's role is very important, because most duties have role requirements:

Dungeons (4-player) require 1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 DPS.
Trials and raids (8-histrion) require 2 tanks, 2 healers, and four DPS. At casual difficulties, subroles don't matter, simply at Savage level it is recommended to have at least one of each subrole: 1 pure healer, 1 barrier healer, 1 melee DPS, i physical ranged DPS, 1 magical ranged DPS.
Alliance raids (24-player) require 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS for each of the three parties.

Originally, a secondary grade was required to unlock each chore. With the release of Stormblood, this is no longer required. Each course tin accelerate to its respective job at level 30 regardless of the levels of your other classes. Advancing from a class to a job requires yous to finish your level thirty form quests besides as the main story quest Sylph-direction.

Jobs added with expansions practice not have a base class and receive their Soul Crystal as soon as they are unlocked. They as well start out at college base levels.

Jobs are non mutually exclusive. Given enough time, you tin can level all classes and jobs on a single character.

Overview

Last Fantasy Xiv: A Realm Reborn jobs.

Jobs accept specialized abilities aimed to perform specific roles in a group setting. Jobs are at the same level every bit their corresponding classes and can be idea of as specialized modes of the base classes. In that location are x jobs in A Realm Reborn (ii.0): Warrior, Paladin, Monk, Ninja (two.4), Dragoon, Bard, White Mage, Black Mage, Summoner and Scholar. Heavensward (3.0) added three new jobs: Dark Knight, Astrologian and Machinist. Stormblood (4.0) further added two more than jobs: Samurai and Red Mage. Shadowbringers (v.0), similar Stormblood, added two new jobs: Gunbreaker and Dancer. Continuing the blueprint, Endwalker added 2 more jobs: Reaper and Sage. Unlocking a chore awards its Soul Crystal, which is required to change from the player's electric current class to a more specialized job. Each task has its own crystal which can be equipped via the Armoury Chest.

Jobs take some unique features:

Primary Course is the class that a job is tied to.
To switch to a job, equip its Soul Crystal. Returning to a base of operations course works similarly past leaving the crystal slot empty.
Jobs possess all of the abilities and traits of the master form and take a large number of boosted abilities and traits on pinnacle of it. Classes typically just gain at about a couple of abilities after level 30, with the majority being vested in the task instead after that level. Both classes and jobs accept access to the full set of function abilities (ex. Swiftcast), however.
All traits acquired earlier level thirty are shared between the class and task. Traits acquired betwixt level xxx and 50 may be shared betwixt the grade and job, or may be exclusive to the job, with numerous examples of both. All traits caused after levels 50 are restricted entirely to the job and unavailable to the associated base form.
While nearly abilities are caused through gaining levels, some are instead rewarded past Class or Task Quests.
Level is shared between job and primary class once that job is unlocked. For example, if yous level a Summoner to 40, then swap over to its base of operations class (Arcanist), the latter will also be at level 40. Both the primary class and its respective job(s will ever be the same level, regardless of which yous play as. A side effect of this is that the two jobs that stem from the Arcanist base class, Summoner and Scholar, likewise share level, so increases in level to either one are as well reflected in the other.
With one exception, there exists no content after level xxx oriented towards classes rather than jobs. In that location'south just one level thirty quest that can only be accessed past the base grade, not the chore it transforms into (Unicorn Power is merely available to Conjurers, non to White Mages, despite being a level thirty quest and only becoming attainable later the level 30 Conjurer quest), but nothing else after level 30.
Hotbar configuration is not shared between classes and the jobs they transform into.
Jobs released in Heavensward (3.0) – Nighttime Knight, Astrologian and Machinist – start at level 30 and do not require base classes. Instead, they brainstorm with a total fix of abilities of their ain.
Jobs released in Stormblood (4.0) – Samurai and Ruby-red Mage – offset at level l and do not require base of operations classes.
Jobs released in Shadowbringers (v.0) – Gunbreaker and Dancer – start at level 60 and practice not require base of operations classes.
Jobs released in Endwalker (half dozen.0) – Sage and Reaper - start at level seventy and practise not require base classes.
