Specialist System is an advancement system for Crafting classes introduced in Heavensward (3.0).

Soul of the Crafter, however only three of your crafters at any one time may be a specialist.
- Players will receive their first three souls of the crafter for free upon completion of

If you wish to change any of your specializations, you must have in your possession a soul of the crafter, speak to Alderan (the NPC who issues the souls) and exchange your current soul gem for a new one.
- Once the generic soul is converted into a specific class' soul it acts like a job stone and confers +20 Craftsmanship, +20 Control, and +15 CP while equipped.
- This is slightly higher than 1 extra tier X materia of the given stat. In other words, a minor bonus overall.
- There is a very limited number of recipes that require the class to be a specialist in order to craft them. These are exclusively in Master Recipe books, and will be indicated as "Specialist Recipe" under "Characteristics" in the Crafting Log.
