Well, being the first Faq I've composed, I hope it's not too shabby for
Gamefaq standards. My thanks and credits are towards the end of the Faq.
Well, as the title says, this is a jobs and abilities Faq for the all time
great final fantasy 5 advance.
If you feel there's something missing in my Faq, you can email me via
[email protected]. But please, no black mail; D.
Anyway, enough talk, you came here to look up the jobs so I'll get on with
that right away.

--1.05 Inherited abilities--
----------------------------
When a certain job is mastered, I could give stat boosts or other things,
but some jobs, when mastered transfer an inherited ability, known as an
Innate ability, over to both the freelancer and mime.
This is like an auto-ability that boosts the usefulness of the character.
Like you would have to normally equip duel-wield for to equip 2 weapons,
but master the ninja, and you don't need to equip it to the freelancer/bare
or mime for it to be active. Well, yes, it's pretty obvious what I'm going'
to tell you in this section. Innate abilities!
Here's a list of the jobs and the innate abilities they give you.
======
Knight: Cover
Monk: Barehanded, Counter
Thief: Artful dodger, Vigilance, find passages, Sprint
Dragoon: N/A
Ninja: Duel-wield
Samurai: Shirahadori
Berserker: N/A
Ranger: N/A
Sorcerer: Magic shell
White mage: N/A
Black mage: N/A
Time mage: N/A
Summoner: N/A
Blue mage: Learning
Red mage: N/A
Beastmaster:
Chemist: Pharmacology
Geomancer: Light step, find pits
Bard: N/A
Dancer: N/A
Necromancer: N/A
Oracle: N/A
Cannoneer: N/A
Gladiator: N/A
Mime: N/A
Try to master all of the jobs for great benefits like hp boosts and mp/magic
boosts too.
---------------------
--2.00 The new jobs--
---------------------
The new jobs include: Gladiator, Oracle, Cannoneer and the Necromancer.
To obtain them:
---------------------
The Gladiator, Oracle and Cannoneer are easy enough to obtain. Once you get
to world 3, you must obtain the 4 tablets that unseal the 12 legendary weapons
at the sealed castle of kuza. They are found in the pyramid in the stretch of
desert, automatically obtained at the start of world 3, in the island shrine,
in the middle of the big bridge, then get the submarine by going to the tower
that appears on Crescent Island. Get flare and holy from there and it will
collapse, leaving a hatch for the airship to enter. Go down there and cid and
mid will take care of it for you. Then submerge into the water and press R1 to
view map. The northwest mark and the southwest marks are the ones you want.
After obtaining the tablets, go to the sealed castle and unseal the 12 weapons.
try to exit. At the entrance, a man will say "there was an earthquake down
south" and he "hopes no-one was hurt". Fly the airship south, a bit below
phantom village, the water will be bubbling wildly. Submerge on the bubbles
and you'll be taken to the 3 shards.
Are they worth it?:
------------------------
Well they don't carry the most useful of moves but are interesting to level
the jobs up. The oracle has the abp up ability, which is handy for mastering
off jobs, but I wouldn't advise using the oracle for combat. The Gladiator
has the power to execute a single blow that will do 9999 damage.
But it sometimes fails or ends up as a critical hit. However, blade blitz
might be worth your while. Finally, the Cannoneer. It can be pretty useful
with his !Combine ability, experiment with different artillery for effects
or refer to the other faqs here.
want more info?
Gladiator-
========
Lure (30ABP) Attracts enemies
!Finisher (70ABP) Deals lots of damage but often is unreliable
Long Reach (150ABP) Attacks with full strength from the back row
!Blade blitz (450ABP) Hits all enemies. Hits twice with duel-wield
Oracle-
======
!Condemn (20ABP) Casts a bad spell on an enemy (doom can be useful)
!Predict (50ABP) don’t use this. It damages your party too.
ABP Up (150ABP) increases amount of abp earned by half.
Read Ahead (300ABP) Reduces amount of random encounters
Cannoneer-
==========
!Open Fire (50ABP) Opens fire with cannon. may confuse
EXP Up (150ABP) Same as abp up, except its xp!
!Combine (300ABP) Mix artillery
The Necromancer-
--------------------------
This can be found in the same cavern as the other 3 jobs, but first, you need
to complete the game and fight Neo X-Death. Kill him and head back to where
you found the other 3 shards. Now you can press the switch. Enter the door to
the left. In here, they'll be lots of puzzles. I am not going to write a whole
essay on how to complete them so I'll let you use an faq-walkthough. You'll
find, at the very bottom of this metropolis, Euno. Creator of the void. Beat
him, give him everything you've got!!! after the fight, you'll be back at the
entrance and the dark shard "Necromancer" will be yours.
Necromancer-
===========
The necromancer is automatically undead in the battle, but like with bone mail,
death will fully heal, or you could equip a flame ring and heal with firaga,
it's up to you, but unlike with bone mail, the character can be revived in
battle with normal terms. Just don't try to heal with cure spells. The
"undead effect" is off out of battle so feel free to heal with potions and
cure spells out-of-battle. The necromancer is a user of the dark arts.
The way in which you learn them way remind you of blue magic, but you learn
them by landing the finishing blow upon certain enemies with the necromancer.
Dark arts cannot be duel-cast.
Necromancer abilities-
==================
!Oath (15ABP) calls forth a demon
!Dark Arts Lv1 (30ABP) enables the use of lv1 dark arts
!Dark Arts Lv2 (45ABP) enables the use of lv2 dark arts
!Dark Arts Lv3 (60ABP) enables the use of lv3 dark arts
!Dark Arts Lv4 (100ABP) enables the use of lv4 dark arts
!Dark Arts Lv5 (200ABP) enables the use of lv5 dark arts

--4.00 Unique magic--
---------------------
By unique magic, I mean the sort that cannot be bought, found throughout
regular game play (flare, holy etc. although you don’t NEED these to complete
ffv) such as blue magic, Dark magic and Gaia magic (which I'll be adding on a
later version at some point in the near future).
I'll be starting off with how to power up your blue mage as a big blue fighting
machine. First off, I've heard once or twice before, people were making claims
that discord is a blue magic skill, well rest assured now, cause it isn’t,
however, dark spark does the same thing and IS a blue magic skill. So, here's
the blue magic list.

--4.02 The art of cursed magic--(insert scary music here)
--------------------------------
By this of course, I mean the dark arts. There are 10 dark art spells, each
mentioned in an earlier section, but to save you scrolling back, here they are
again, but now, with what they do:
Drain touch-drain hp, being undead doesn't matter
Dark haze-Unleash a mist that causes old and confuse on all enemy targets
Deep freeze-Freeze a target with sub-zero temperatures, causes stop
Evil mist-Sprays the enemies with liquid poison, surprisingly enough, it causes
poison.
Meltdown-Burns Target(s) with a scorching inferno
Hell wind-Calls fourth the gusts of hell to damage and petrify all enemies
Chaos drive-Causes lighting damage too all targets along with paralyse
Curse-Cause negative status aliments
Dark flare-Cursed flares sear enemies.
Doomsday-the ultimate dark spell, unlike ff9, it doesn't damage you, thankfully
You like? You probably do. Here’s where to find them then:
Dark arts:
=======
Drain touch, learned automatically from mind flare.
Dark haze, learned from the exoray flower (sealed temple)
Deep freeze, learned from Assassin (sealed temple)
Evil mist, learned from Dragon zombie (drakenvale)
Meltdown, learned from Liquid flame (Phoenix tower-wall boss)
Hell wind, learned from object d'art (Bal castle basement)
Chaos drive, learned from mini satin (Sealed temple)
Curse, learned from Ironclad (Sealed temple-enuo's domain)
Dark flare, learned from X-deaths ghost (Kuza castle)
Doomsday, learned from Hades (Sealed temple-enuo's domain)
