JP Farming Guide: How to Get JP Fast

Get Other Job Skills By Gathering Materials

Some Jobs, like the Inventor, do not require JP in order to get its skills. Instead, they require materials like weapons, accessories, and other items. In this case, you'll need to gather the required materials in order to get the skill and use it in battle.

Get EX Skills By Finding Altars and Finishing Each Character's Story

Altar	Altar Mark

One of your characters' EX Skills can be obtained by finding altars scattered all over the world that correspond to your select character's primary job.

These altars are marked on your map if one is near your location so try to find them and interact with the statue in it to get your traveler's first EX Skill!

Finally, your travelers' last EX Skill can be obtained by finishing each of their story.

Make Sure You Have the Right Character in Your Party Before Interacting With an Altar

Since EX Skills are character-exclusive, you need to make sure that you have the right character in your party before interacting with the altar. Change your party members at the nearest tavern and get their EX Skills!

After unlocking a Support Skill, go to the main menu again and select "Skills". Choose "Equip Support Skills" from the two choices, then select your newly acquired Support Skill in the next menu to equip it.
