Action Command.png
Actions are any abilities, attacks, spells, or other functions that can be used by the player. Players can set any action to the action bar as long as they have learned it and meet any associated class requirements. Many actions may be used by different classes than the one that learned them.

Being level synced below the level of an action will cause it to become unusable.

Actions usually have some cost associated with them, be it TP, MP, GP, CP and/or an individual cooldown.

— In-game description

Actions represent all active skills, passives (traits), and system unlocks acquired throughout Final Fantasy XIV.
