Jobs

In FF XI, players have to choose the "Job" (class) for their character. You can choose from the six initial Jobs, but there are might be as many as 9 other Jobs. Each job has its own "job ability" which you learn as your job level increases. You can also have support Jobs. Once you have completed a certain required quest, you go back to your Mog House and you will have the option to set a Support Job. Your Support Job is just like a regular Job, with the exception that its only 1/2 as powerful as your main Job. For example, If your main Job were a level 50 White Mage, and your Support Job were a Warrior, you would be a level 25 Warrior. No matter how hard you try leveling up your Support Job, it will always remain half as strong as your main Job. It is rumored that there are four more Jobs, Samurai, Ninja, Summoner, and Dragoon. Apparently you must be atleast at level 40 to change your class to any of these. Remember this is only a RUMOR. I will update this as soon as I get more information on the other Jobs. The statistics in teal and white are the starting stats for each Job. There is only stats for 6 Jobs because you are only allowed to choose out of the 6 Jobs, initially.
