• While Dragoons may obtain skill level 240 earlier than level 71, Impulse Drive must be quested once base skill level 240 (without merits) and job level 71 is reached (requires the ability to wield Spear of Trials).
• Polearm skill level 240 is obtainable by Warriors, Samurai, and Dragoons at these corresponding levels:

Job	Rank	Level
Dragoon	A+	68
Samurai	B−	75
Warrior	B−	75
