The Divine Rod is a graceful support ability that tells you the amount of chests left in the area. This skills is one of the best skills and will be a likely skill that you'll use for the whole game.
Both skills combined gives you a whooping 1.7 JP multipler after the battle ends. A great support skill to have especially if you want to level up all of your jobs!
No need to buy all those tents, potions, and other stuff you want at the shop. Forage allows you to get all of these items during battles! The higher your level, the more items you can get so it complements with your needed grind to get those support abilities.

Stand Ground | Roughly 50% chance of surviving with one HP when taking enough damage to be knocked out. This ability will not be triggered if the user has one HP. |
Late Bloomer | Boosts all stats based on the number of jobs mastered. |

The freelancer is the starting class in Bravely Default. In Bravely Default 1, it was a job that can gain stat bonuses per each mastered Job but it is currently unknown if the same ability is also in Bravely Default 2. Stay tuned for more info!
The Freelancer is a jack-of-all trade character. While all classes can be a good sub-job for the freelancer, none are also great for it. The Freelancer job is much more suited to being a sub-job for other classes to provide unique abilities for them.
