Job Overview[]

Bard, as a support job, will grant the following traits, spells, and skills.

Some Support Job abilities and traits require advancement past certain Master Levels thresholds. See that article for details.

As a Support Job you may not use any Instruments, as they are all equippable only by Bards. As a result, the only working Magic Skill is Singing, and you can only provide one active song effect for yourself and your party members. This fact combined with the lack of song potency equipment makes for some very feeble song effects that do not last very long.
