Job

Jobs are more specialized classes and require soul crystals. Each job has its own crystal which can be equipped via the Armoury Chest. While using a job, players will still have access to actions from their base class, but also have access to new, job-specific actions. Job and level attribute bonuses coincide with those of the base class. When a job level rises, so, too, does the level of the base class, and vice versa.
