#REDIRECT [[Job]]
==General Information==
Jobs have specialized abilities aimed to perform specific roles in a group setting. Jobs are the same level as their corresponding [[classes]] and can be thought of as specialized modes of the base classes. There are 10 jobs in A Realm Reborn (2.0): [[Warrior]], [[Paladin]], [[Monk]], [[Ninja]] (2.4), [[Dragoon]], [[Bard]], [[White Mage]], [[Black Mage]], [[Summoner]] and [[Scholar]]. Players can unlock jobs by leveling the respective primary [[class]] to level 30 and secondary class to level 15, as well as completing the primary class quest at 30. Unlocking a job awards its [[Soul Crystal]], which is required to change from the player's current class to a more specialized job. Each job has its own crystal which can be equipped via the [[Armoury Chest]]. Note that jobs released in [[Heavensward]] (3.0): [[Dark Knight]], [[Astrologian]] and [[Machinist]], start from level 30 and do not require base classes, instead starting with a full set of abilities of their own.
 
*Primary class is the class the job links to.
*Secondary class must be level 15 to unlock the job.
*The job has all the abilities and traits of the primary class and can use all the cross-class abilities of secondary and tertiary classes. They gain cross-class ability slots every 10 levels instead of 5 like classes. Jobs don't gain any traits or abilities by leveling up (except for the [[Heavensward]] ones), though their base class continues to do so. All Job abilities are earned through job quests.
*The level of the job is the same as its corresponding class and vice versa. For example, when a level 47 [[gladiator]] equips its Paladin job stone, the gladiator will turn into a level 47 paladin. If the paladin gains 2 levels and becomes level 49, then when the player removes his or her paladin Soul Crystal, the paladin becomes a level 49 gladiator. This also means that the [[Summoner]] and [[Scholar]] jobs will always be at the same level, even if one of the jobs is unlocked much later.

{{Quote|On the northernmost edge of Abalathia's Spine exists a mountain tribe renowned for producing fearsome mercenaries.

{{Quote|For centuries, the elite of the Sultansworn have served as personal bodyguards to the royal family of Ul'dah. Known as paladins, these men and women marry exquisite swordplay with stalwart shieldwork to create a style of combat uncompromising in its defense. Clad in brilliant silver armor, they charge fearlessly into battle, ever ready to lay down their lives for their liege. To be a paladin is to protect, and those who choose to walk this path will become the iron foundation upon which the party's defense is built.|Game Description}}

{{Quote|Though now under Garlean rule, the city-state of Ala Mhigo once boasted the greatest military might of all Eorzea. Among its standing armies were the monks—ascetic warriors as dreaded by foes on the field of battle as the city-state's great pikemen.<br><br>The monks comprised an order known as the Fist of Rhalgr, and it was to this god—the Destroyer—that they devoted their lives of worship.

{{Quote|Of all the things that are symbolic of the nation of Ishgard, few are more recognized than the dragoon. Born amidst the timeless conflict between men and dragons, these lance-wielding knights have developed an aerial style of combat, that they might better pierce the scaled hides of their mortal foes.<br><br>Taking to the firmament as though it were an extension of the land, they descend upon the enemy with every onze of their bodies behind the blow.

* Level 15 [[Pugilist]]
===Lore===
{{Quote|The word "bard" ordinarily puts folk in mind of those itinerant minstrels, fair of voice and nimble of finger, who earn their coin performing in taverns and the halls of great lords. Few know, however, that bards in fact trace their origins back to the bowmen of eld, who sang in the heat of battle to fortify the spirits of their companions.<br><br>In time, their impassioned songs came to hold sway over the hearts of men, inspiring their comrades to great feats and granting peace unto those who lay upon the precipice of death.|Game Description}}

* Level 30 [[Conjurer]]
* Level 15 [[Arcanist]]
===Lore===
{{Quote|White magic, the arcane art of succor, was conceived eras past that the world might know comfort. Alas, man began perverting its powers for self-gain, and by his wickedness brought about the Sixth Umbral catastrophe. Although the art subsequently became forbidden, it is now in the midst of a revival at the hands of the Padjal, chosen of the elementals.<br><br>Those who would walk the path of the white mage are healers without peer, possessed of the power to deliver comrades from the direst of afflictions—even the icy grip of death itself.|Game Description}}

===Lore===
{{Quote|In days long past, there existed an occult and arcane art known as black magic—a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the path of ruin.<br><br>Adventurers who take the black will become agents of devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through little more than the force of their will.|Game Description}}

===Lore===
{{Quote|The beast tribes of Eorzea worship and summon forth beings known as primals, among which are Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan. Yet what is a god to one man is a demon to another, for the city-states of Eorzea see these beings as a grave threat to their collective survival.<br><br>In times immemorial, there lived mages who had not only the power to summon the primals, but also the means to transmute the primals' essences, thus binding them to their will. Known simply as summoners, the existence of these men and women and their arcane art have been all but lost to the ages.|Game Description}}

{{Quote|In an age long past, when mankind flourished under the radiance of arcane mastery, the island of Vylbrand was home to a city-state called Nym. Though the history of that age tells of countless wars waged with earth-shattering incantations, it was the brilliant strategic maneuvering of Nym's scholars that allowed their mundane army of mariners to throw back would-be conquerers time and again. These learned men and women defended the freedom of their tiny nation with their unique command over spell-weaving faeries, utilizing the creatures' magicks to heal the wounded and bolster the strength of their allies.|Game Description}}

===Lore===
{{Quote|The pious Ishgardian clergy guide the flock, and the devout knights protect the weak. Yet even the holiest of men succumb to the darkest of temptations.<br />None dare to administer justice to these sacrosanct elite residing outside the reach of the law. Who, then, defends the feeble from the transgressions of those meant to guide and protect them?<br />A valiant few take up arms to defend the downtrodden, and not even the holy priests and knights can escape their judgment. Pariahs in their own land, they are known by many as “dark knights.”<br />These sentinels bear no shields declaring their allegiance. Instead, their greatswords act as beacons to guide the meek through darkness.| Game Description}}

*[[Heavensward]]
*Completion of [[Before the Dawn]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]]
===Lore===
{{Quote|Ever has man coveted knowledge, and none more so than that of his fate. Thus did he labor to master the skill of foresight—but initial efforts bore little fruit. That is, until he looked to the stars above, which foretell the coming seasons, and learned to read the heavens.<br />Though this gift is known today as astrology, the people of Sharlayan saw fit to not only read the stars, but to write their movements as well. By attuning their aetherial energies to that of constellations, they learned to wield magicks with heretofore unseen properties.<br />Thus was astromancy born—a new form of magick which grants its users power over fate. Employing a star globe and divining deck in their miraculous deeds, fortune always smiles upon these masters of arcana.| Game Description}}

{{Quote|The war with Dravania rages on, brutal and unrelenting. With no end in sight, the Holy See grows desperate. As her dragoons lay down their lives in defense of their home, Ishgard turns to technology to protect her sons and daughters. Great cannons and ballistae now line the city walls, plucking dragons from the sky.<br />Following the example of Cid Garlond, who has demonstrated the potency of magitek, the Skysteel Manufactory works tirelessly on the development of advanced armaments. As new and devastating weapons are brought to the fray, a new class of champion arises to wield them―the machinist.| Game Description}}
