Job
Jobs are an extension of their base classes and require a job stone to activate. Once equipped, the job stone cannot be removed, permanently transforming the class into its corresponding job. There are currently 10 regular jobs in the game.
Advancing from a class to a job requires you to finish your level 10 class quests. Class Quests have been condensed to levels 1 through 10, serving as early content and tutorials while providing gear and experience. Completing the Lv10 quest unlocks the associated Class Ring as a glamour and makes the Job Stone available.
Jobs are not mutually exclusive. Given enough time, one can level all classes and jobs on a single character.
Similar to classes, each job represents one specific role: 
tank, 
healer, or 
DPS. Jobs of the same role are balanced to provide roughly the same level of combat performance. 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.
Job changing
- Once you obtain and equip a job stone, it becomes permanently equipped and the base class is effectively gone.
- To switch between jobs, equip the corresponding weapon of the desired job.
- Job gearsets can be saved and assigned to a hotbar for convenient switching.
Job features
- Jobs possess streamlined actions that maintain the identity and general playstyle of their PC/console counterparts.
- 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 (e.g., 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).
Class and Job Quests
- **Class Quests:** Condensed to levels 1-10, providing early tutorials, gear, and experience. Guild Teleport Tickets allow immediate return to your Class Quest NPC after completing objectives.
- **Job Quests:** Begin at Lv35 and continue every 5th level, providing gear, experience, and artifact equipment at Lv45/50 with recolored versions in a coffer at Lv50.
Special Mobile Features
- **Arcanist:** Scholar can be unlocked independently at the Arcanist's Guild reception desk. Summoner and Scholar no longer share levels.
- **Mage Casting:** Spells lock at the end of 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 lowest HP.
