:: Job System ::

In Final Fantasy XI, you need to choose a job when you are creating your character. You are able to choose 6 basic jobs initially. Different jobs has it's own "Job Ability". You are able to use more ability when your Job Level increase. At the same time, you are also able to choose another job as "Support Job". To be able to get your "Support Job". You will need to level up 2 jobs each time you play. After completing a specified Quest, you will be able to choose your "Support Job" in your Mog House.

Limitation of Support Job

:: You WILL NOT be able to make it as your "Main Job".
:: Level will be HALF your "Main Job".
:: There will be NO EXP. added to your support job.

Example:

in this example, I will use Warrior Job Lv. 20 and White Mage Lv. 10 as support job.

:: When your main Job is Warrior and White mage as support Job, you will only be able to use white magic that a White Mage job Lv. 10 has.

:: Advanced Job FAQ ::

Paladin

Location: South Sandoria

Key NPC:Balasiel(F7)

Procedure: you need to complete three different quests from him in order to get Knight as extra job.

For the 1st quest, you need to hand him over "Han Gon Jyu No Ne" (root of tree) which can be found from ghost or hound type monsters.

2nd one, you need to go to location G7 of Orbul Cave (you can get there from La Thine highlands), touch the ??? at the pool, then quickly touch the ??? at some sand place near the pool to get an item.

Advantages:Able to use White magic, high in defence, strong against undead monsters, able to equip all single handed swords.

Disadvantages:Attack damage is lower than Dark Knight.

Comment: Paladin is high defence. Best for protecting party members from being attacked. Since Paladins are unable to use taunt. It is said that having a support job as a warrior will help a lot when the enemies changed their targets to the mages.

Dark Knight

Key NPC:Gumbah(J7, 2nd floor)

Procdure: Talk to Gumbah, then go to 3rd floor of Palbrough Mines ( G8 ), get aboard the ship and receive a two handed sword. Equip the sword and kill 100 enemies, then goto Bedoh (South east exit of Swamp) and event movie will start, and you get Dark knight.

Advantages:Able to use Black magic, high in attack, strong against magical monsters, able to equip all kind of scythes.

Disadvantages:Low in defence.

Comment: A Lv30 Dark knight has a job characteristics: damage bonus +10% of Max HP. Meaning that you can do like 40(normal dmg)+50(bonus dmg)=90 dmg in one SINGLE NORMAL HIT with a two handed sword or scythe. Best support job is said to be Monk because countering with 90 dmg isn't funny

Spear SG

Ranger

Procdure: Click on the door and Dietmund will come out and ask you to get him Night Flowers. Go to Location F8 of Qufim island, walk down the small passage at the cliff and click on Night Flowers (you can only get it at night when the flowers started to glow). Get back to Dietmund, when the cut scene is over, talk to the chocobo house owner Brutus on Upper Jeuno to obtain Beast Master.

Advantages:Able to use equip most warrior types armors, tame monsters to fight for you. main weapon: Axe.

Disadvantages:when the tame effect fades off, the pet will attack the owner so be very careful about the lasting period of tame effect.

Comment: Beast master isn't as strong as Warriors but he is capable to go solo hunting bacause of the ability to tame monsters. Also, when your party is linked, you can try to tame one of them to fight back against the enemies. Thus for, Beast tamer is "technically" awfully strong. Best spuuort job: White Mage.

Spear SG

Bard

Location: Lower Jeuno

Key NPC: Mertaire ( INN, I8 )

Procdure: Talk to Mertaire and all NPCs in the INN, go to Mhaura and buy a paper (priced 500-600) from Pikini-Mikini at G9.

Go throught it and and another Song Runes there. Click on it to get BARD.

Advantages: Able to sing different variaty og songs which do not require any MP to support your party members. HP and MP regenerate song does help a lot later on.

Disadvantages: bards are WEAK! Only a little bit stronger than White Mages. Songs are expensive, and really useful songs are only usable for Lv15 and up.

Comment: A funny job which needs a lot of technic play in order to really help out party members. Bards looks very weak from status but he is actually very strong support character when doing party play. Bard is said to be suit to almost any job as a support job to face difference situiations. Warrior as a support job helps taunting and do some damage during battle, thief as support job enable stealing and drop rate up, White mages help to heal, Black magics to support attacking, and the best, Beast master tames monsters to join the fight.

You can obtain the option to have a subjob by completing a quest AFTER REACHING LVL18!!!
