How to Get Job Skills

Buy Job Skills with Job Points

You can get Job Skills by buying them from the "Skills" menu using JP (Job Points).

The required amount of JP (Job Points) you need to pay increases as you buy more Job Skills so try to earn JP as much as you can to unlock all of a job's skills.

JP Required to Unlock Job Skills

Skill Purchase Order	JP (Job Points) Required
3rd Skill	30
4th Skill	100
5th Skill	500
6th Skill	1,000
7th Skill	3,000
8th Skill	5,000
Total JP to get all skills	9,630

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.

What Are Job Skills?

Skills to Use in Battles

Job Skills are skills that your travelers can use in battles. They're tied to a certain job and they usually cost SP to use.

You can unlock most Job Skills by going to the "Skills" menu and spending Job Points (JP). The more Job Skills you have in your arsenal, the higher the JP cost of the next skill you want to unlock.

In some instances, you'll have to gather materials to unlock certain job skills. In return, these skills don't cost SP in battles but they have a cooldown before you can use it again.
