'''Jobs''' are an extension of their base [[class]]es and require a [[soul crystal]] to activate. '''Once equipped, the soul crystal cannot be removed, permanently transforming the class into its corresponding job.''' There are currently 10 regular jobs in the game. | |||

Class Quests have been condensed to levels 1 through 10, serving as early content and tutorials while providing gear and experience. Completing the Level 10 quest unlocks the associated Class [[Ring]] as a [[glamour]] and makes the Soul Crystal available. | ||

Similar to classes, each job represents one specific [[role]]: {{Tank}} tank, {{Healer}} healer, or {{Dps}} DPS. Jobs of the same role are balanced to provide roughly the same level of combat performance at the level cap. While all content in the game can be completed with any job as long as role composition requirements are met, some forms of content may favor specific jobs. In addition, jobs differ from one another in their playing style (e.g. melee vs. ranged damage) and in the balance of damage, utility, and party buffs they provide. | Similar to classes, each job represents one specific [[role]]: {{Tank}} tank, {{Healer}} healer, or {{Dps}} DPS.

* Jobs possess | [[File:Final_Fantasy_XIV_classes.jpeg|FFXIV Mobile job system.|thumb]] | ||
* Jobs possess streamlined [[actions]] that maintain the identity and general playstyle of their PC/console counterparts. | |||
* All players start in [[Ul'dah]] regardless of chosen class. [[Limsa Lominsa]] and [[Gridania]] starting quests are not available in the mobile version. | |||
* '''[[Arcanist]]''': [[Scholar]] can be unlocked independently at the [[Arcanist's Guild]] reception desk. [[Summoner]] and [[Scholar]] no longer share levels. | |||
* All jobs have access to two universal action buttons: | |||
** '''[[Standard Action Button]]''' - The large button with iconic relic weapon design serves as a basic combo (1-2-3 for melee classes). For melee jobs, it transforms into a ranged attack at certain distances (for example [[Warrior]]'s becomes [[Tomahawk]]). For mages, it provides a reliable instant cast option while moving. | |||
** '''[[Evasive Action Button]]''' - Located beneath the standard action, this movement skill provides quick repositioning every 15 seconds and activates [[Sprint]] for 4 seconds. Animations vary by job (dashes, rolls or [[White Mage]]'s floating movement). | |||
* '''Casting Magic''' - Spells lock at the end of the cast bars. If a target dies during casting, the spell automatically transfers to the next available target. Single-target heals cast without a target selected automatically target the party member with the lowest [[HP]]. | |||
==Job | ==Class and Job Quests== | ||
* '''[[Class Quests]]''' - Condensed to levels 1 - 10, providing early tutorials, [[gear]], and [[experience]]. [[Guild Teleport Ticket]]s allow immediate return to your Class Quest NPC after completing objectives. | |||
* '''[[Job Quests]]''' - Begin at Level 35 and continue every 5th level, providing gear, experience, and [[artifact armor]] at Level 45/50 with recolored versions in a coffer at Level 50. | |||

White Mage is a straightforward healing class that forgoes utility to provide immense healing output and regeneration effects to their allies. Their simple but powerful healing kit does not require much advanced planning compared to other healers. They also have good personal damage, blasting their enemies with devastating elemental attacks, including a powerful AoE stun. At higher levels, they gain access to Lilies, which can be used on instant healing spells without needing MP, and later on will gain access to an exceptionally powerful attack that is fueled by Lilies.

Dragoons are famous for launching themselves across battlefields and decimating their foes using lance-based weapons, bombarding enemies with vicious leaping attacks and lengthy combos while empowering allies with buffs. They draw upon the Blood of the Dragon to augment their abilities. Dragoons have very strong AoE damage, with several attacks that cleave in a line. Compared to other melee DPS, dragoon does not have particularly hard-hitting weaponskills, but instead uses a combination of weaponskills and a variety of off-global cooldown abilities to deal strong sustained and burst damage. | Dragoons are famous for launching themselves across battlefields and decimating their foes using lance-based weapons, bombarding enemies with vicious leaping attacks and lengthy combos while empowering allies with buffs.

Bards are bow-wielding ranged damage dealers sporting mobility, utility, and a proc-based combat style that debilitates enemies through damage-over-time effects wrought by their skillful bow shots. Through the power of song, they can also provide party-wide buffs and inspire their allies to greater feats of damage, some of the strongest party buffs in the game. Their own attacks cycle through 3 different distinct periods based on the song they are currently playing. They are the only non-healer job that can remove a detrimental status effect from a party member, using a unique ability. They also possess an action that temporarily increases healing received to all allies in range. | Bards are bow-wielding ranged damage dealers sporting mobility, utility, and a proc-based combat style that debilitates enemies through damage-over-time effects wrought by their skillful bow shots.
