Job". To be able to get your "Support Job". You will need to level up 2 jobs
each time you play. After completing a specified Quest, you will be able to
choose your "Support Job" in your Mog House.
Limitation of Support
Job · You will not be able to make it as your "Main Job". · Level
will be half your "Main Job". · There will be no exp. added to your support
job.

and White Mage Lv. 10 as support job. · When your main Job is Warrior and
White mage as support Job, you will only be able to use white magic that a White
Mage job Lv. 10 has. · When your main Job is White Mage and Warrior as
