Note: The names of the jobs and abilities may change depending on the game's version. However, the Mystic Knight's spell level is actually ( job level-1) because of their Magic Shell ability at level 1, so they will not be able to pass their magic on to other Jobs without reaching level 2 first. For example, a Level 3 Black Mage is able to use Level 1-3 Black Magic. Their active ability retains its name, but for each level completed, the ability gains the use of that Job level's spells at that tier. Abilities prefixed with '!' are active commands that can be selected in battle.įor the six specialized mage jobs (Black/White/Red/Time Mages, Summoner, and Mystic Knight), Job levels are cumulative. Once an ability is obtained, it may be assigned to a free slot regardless of Job.

Once you meet the quota, the character gains a level in the Job and an ability. New abilities are obtained once you collect the required ABP. Please note that this guide prioritizes the most recent names, and the old PSX names, if they exist, are underlined.Ĭharacters start off at level 0 for each Job and have access to only the innate skills for a given Job. Jobs can level up by collecting ABP (Ability Battle Points) after battles, which allows the character to use the Job's abilities as a different class and when the job is mastered, the game will transfer the stat boosts of that Job to the Mimic and Freelancer jobs. Final Fantasy V contains 22 Jobs (four more in the Game Boy Advance and later versions, totaling 26).
