+#REDIRECT [[Class]]
-Eorzea is home to myriad disciplines, or '''classes''', suitable to every adventuring style. Each class is capable of performing unique actions acquired through experience. Furthermore, achieving a certain level of mastery in multiple classes will unlock [[job]]s, which feature even greater specialization.
-All available classes fall into one of four categories: [[Disciples of War]], [[Disciples of Magic]], [[Disciples of the Land]], or [[Disciples of the Hand]].
-: ''Important: You can level all classes and jobs on one character!''
-== Disciples of War ==
-[[Image:Disciple of War.png|thumb|Disciples of War]]
-Followers of these disciplines devote themselves to the mastery of weapons and the wars waged with them. Through rigorous physical training, they hone their minds and bodies into the instruments of combat.
-=== Gladiator ===
-[[Image:Gladiator_Icon.png|left|50px|Gladiator Icon]]
-[[Gladiator]]s specialize in the handling of all manner of one-handed blades, from daggers to longswords, be they single- or double-edged, straight or curved. Tracing their roots to the Coliseum, where the roar of the crowd reigns supreme, these melee combatants have learned to seamlessly flow between attack and defense in a dance that delights the eye.
-Making use of their skill with the shield, gladiators can also draw the attention and attacks of an enemy upon themselves, thereby protecting their comrades from harm.
-=== Pugilist ===
-[[Image:Pugilist_Icon.png|left|50px|Pugilist Icon]]
-The path of the [[pugilist]] is one of incessant training aimed at mastering the traditional techniques of hand-to-hand combat. Though pugilists command formidable power when unarmed, they are wont to use metal, leather, and bone weaponry to maximize their destructive potential.
-Their preference for fighting at close quarters makes negotiating distances an absolute necessity. Many among them accomplish this by avoiding burdensome armor, allowing for maximum mobility while they move in for the kill.
-=== Marauder ===
-[[Image:Marauder_Icon.png|left|50px|Marauder Icon]]
-[[Marauder]]s are combat specialists whose weapon of choice is the greataxe—a fearsome arm long associated with Eorzea's pirates. Their approach to battle is one of brute force, as they rely on pure strength and good steel to crush enemies and sunder weapons.
-They are highly sought after for their ferocity and intimidating presence, and are often employed to hunt down monsters plaguing the land or to turn the tide of battle between warring nations. Skilled marauders have been known to take on entire packs of slavering beasts and emerge with little more than a few scrapes and bruises.
-=== Lancer ===
-[[Image:Lancer_Icon.png|left|50px|Lancer Icon]]
-The [[lancer]] is a master of polearms—weapons which have evolved from humble hunting tools. In former times, the longspear saw the most widespread use, due in great part to the influence of the proud lancer legions of Ala Mhigo. The lancer's weaponry has since expanded to include other lethal implements such as the halberd and trident.
-While it is no easy task to wield a polearm as if it were an extension of one's body, those who master the lancing arts come to be as a raging storm before their enemies, capable of delivering a barrage of devastating thrusts and slashes.
-=== Archer ===
-[[Image:Archer_Icon.png|left|50px|Archer Icon]]
-With a bow in hand and a quiver on his back, the [[archer]] strikes at the enemy from afar. In Eorzea, two schools of archery have risen to prominence: that of the longbow sentries of the Elezen military, and that of the shortbow hunters among the Miqo'te.
-Archers constantly assess the battlefield in order to determine the most advantageous ground from which to loose their arrows, as well as the nature of the shaft, point, and fletching best suited to their foe. It is said that master archers are capable of showering their targets with a veritable deluge of death well before a counterattack can ever be mounted.
-=== Rogue ===
-[[Image:Rogue_Icon.png|left|50px|Rogue Icon]]
-These agile [[Rogue|fighters]] pride themselves on their skills with knives and daggers to make quick work of enemies.
-Lurking in the shadows, adhering to no laws but their own, they punish the wicked, pilfering their ill-gotten gains and delivering them to the downtrodden masses. Thought by many to be mere common criminals, some would say they play an unseen hand in maintaining order in the buccaneer's haven of Limsa Lominsa .
-== Disciples of Magic ==
-[[Image:Disciple of Magic.png|thumb|Disciples of Magic]]
-The path of magic beckons to those with a restless desire to study and command sorcery in all its forms. Its adherents use artifacts and relics to call upon and channel forces within themselves and the aether around them, from which they then weave spells of both destruction and restoration.
-=== Conjurer ===
-[[Image:Conjurer_Icon.png|left|50px|Conjurer Icon]]
-[[Conjurer|Conjury]] calls upon the elements of earth, wind, and water and concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved. Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation, conjurers draw forth and absorb aether from their immediate surroundings. A wand or cane made from unworked wood is then utilized to focus the aether until it manifests as the desired spell.
-Versed also in magicks that restore and strengthen, conjurers are regarded as accomplished healers.
-=== Thaumaturge ===
-[[Image:Thaumaturge_Icon.png|left|50px|Thaumaturge Icon]]
-In the hands of a skilled practitioner, [[Thaumaturge|thaumaturgy]] can be a force of terrifying destruction. At the heart of this school of magic lies the ability to call forth and command the latent aether within oneself through deep introspection.
-To then mold that aether into sorcery, the thaumaturge makes use of a scepter or staff, within which is housed a medium—a natural stone imbued with magical properties. Thus armed, the thaumaturge is capable of wreaking considerable havoc via ruinous spells and curses.
-=== Arcanist ===
-[[Image:Arcanist_Icon.png|left|50px|Arcanist Icon]]
-Adepts of the art of [[Arcanist|arcanum]] derive their might from symbols of power born of geometric techniques hailing from across the southern seas. Held within occult grimoires, these symbols lend shape to the arcanist's aether, thereby allowing him to produce myriad powerful spells.
-Using the selfsame symbols to unlock the latent power contained within gemstones, arcanists are also able to summon forth the familiar known as Carbuncle to carry out their bidding.
-==[[Crafting|Disciples of the Hand]]==

-[[Blacksmith]] works with metals to create weapons such as swords and axes and tools. The ores they use are gathered by miners. Blacksmiths can create hand-to-hand weapons for pugilists, swords and daggers for gladiators, two-handed axes for marauders.

They can also make wooden shields and masks for casters, In additions for weapons and armor for disciples of war, carpenters can also create fishing poles for fishers, grinding wheels for goldsmiths, spinning wheels for weavers and clogs for crafters.
-===Culinarian===
-[[Culinarian]] utilizes animal products and vegetables to create food items and some fishing tackles. Players can consume food items to receive temporary buffs. Meat and other animal products are found by slaying animals, fish are obtained by [[Fisher]]s and vegetables are gathered by [[Botanist]]s.
