As you probably already know, one of the strengths of Final Fantasy XIV is the possibility of own all classes and jobs of the game on the same character. Therefore, it is possible, among other things, to draw ten spells other classes to maximize the potential of your main class and five spells other classes to optimize the potential of your jobs.
