Weapon

This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet our quality standards. This can be rewriting the article, fixing grammatical mistakes, or format the page to the appropriate template.

Each job has the native ability to wield at least one type of weapon at full proficiency. Other jobs require subbing passive skills to be able to wield non-native weapons and raise their proficiency to comparable levels. Not every job has a passive skill for equipping a weapon and some jobs have more than one equip weapon skill. Beginner weapons can be wielded on any job. Many skills require a particular weapon to be equipped in order to be used.

Weapon Classes

Weapons that can be crafted through normal Alchemy come with different classes.

• Every class has a new weapon every 20 levels up to level 60.

e.g. The Water element Poleax at level 20 followed by the Berserker's Ax at level 40 and the Abyssal Ax at level 60.

e.g. The Fire element Iron Hammer at level 23 followed by the Warhammer at level 43. There is not a third weapon in this class because 20 levels above 43 is 63.

• Some classes are better suited for a particular character's build.

e.g. An element-based Syringe will give higher Physical attack, but lower MP.

• Every weapon type has 2 elemental classes. These classes include the 20, 40, 60 and 23, 43 weapons.

Crafting and Upgrading Weapons

Most weapons can be made through Alchemy or High Level Alchemy and upgraded up to two times. Exceptions to this include Beginner Weapons, Golden Weapons, and Master Weapons which cannot be crafted or upgraded; Platinum Weapons which cannot be crafted; level 53 weapons which can only be upgraded once; and level 58 weapons and HLA Weapons which cannot be upgraded.

All weapons can have their Stat Bonus upgraded through the use of books and tickets.

Weapon Suitabilities

All jobs have a proficiency percentage called suitability with every weapon. This percentage is an estimated value of damage dealt while using a weapon. This percentage can be raised by subbing a passive skill related to the weapon. Every level of this skill will raise the percentage by 5%. The following chart shows each jobs native suitability for each weapon. [1]

• Bold = Native Equip
• Underline = Job has Equip Skill

Baton has no Equip Skill so does not have a proficiency for other jobs.
