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!

Forage

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.
