Category:Weapon Skills

Weapon Skills are main hand or ranged weapon-specific combat commands that require a character have 1000 TP or more to execute. All of a player's TP in consumed, with the amount consumed modifying the attributes of the Weapon Skill, be it damage, status effects on the player or the player's target, etc.

Learning Weapon Skills

Most Weapon Skills are learned when a player's combat skill with a particular weapon type reaches the necessary level for that Weapon Skill.

Some Weapon Skills are tied to certain jobs whereas others are unlockable via quests. Consult the lists below for individual requirements.

Relic Weapons

Relic Weapons have unique Weapon Skills associated with them that may only be used when wielding a Stage 4 (In Dynamis Only) or Stage 5 weapon. Weapons dropped in Abyssea areas also unlock relic weapon skills but only when the requirements of their latent effect have been met.

Exclusive Weapon Skills

Exclusive Weapon Skills are only available to certain jobs when used as Main Job or Support Job once the required combat skill threshold has been reached. For example, you must have WAR, MNK, THF, NIN, PUP, DNC as your main or support job to use Combo. WHM/BLM may not use it even with merit points in the Hand-to-Hand Combat Skills category.

Trial Weapon Skills

These skills are unlocked via quests involving unlocking the latent abilities Trial Weapons as part of a quest. Players may also use these by equipping Stage 4 or higher Ambuscade Weapons regardless of quest completion.

Skillchains
