    FFIII - Job Level Explanation

    Q: What is job level?
    A: Job level (Job LV) is a renewed system in the DS system. Each character can
    have at most 23 jobs, each job comes with a Job LV, showing how proficient
    the character is at that job. Maximum Job LV is 99.

    Q: What does Job LV do?
    A: For all the jobs, Job LV enhance battle performance by increase number of
    hits, chance of hits, physical damage, magical damage, magical recovery,
    etc. For some specific jobs, Job LV enhances their special actions, too.

    Q: How to increase Job LV?
    A: Every character has a hidden stat called Job Point (JP) that dictates their
    Job LV growth. When JP accumulated to 99, job level goes up by 1. Each
    action (except step forward, step backward, escape, and hi-escape for thief)
    will contribute a fixed amount of job point to the character. The amount
    contributed follows the rules below:

    1. For all the jobs before job level 14, each valid action will contribute 20
    job points. Exception is scholar, who has 24 points per valid action.
    - This mean for every 5 actions your character should gain one job level
    when they are below job level 14.

    2. For all the jobs higher than job level 14, each valid action will contribue
    different amount of job points, according to what job you are using. Here is
    the list:

    /---------------------\
    | |Job LV |

    |Jobs |<14|>14|

    A doubt. This means that Job Levels, not being tied to experience, can be easily gained by training in low level areas in which battles end quite quickly?

    He is basically saying that for each battle, your character gains these "invisible" points towards your characters job levels for every action (turn) you take in a battle. The left side being how much that job earns under level 14 I believe and the right side being how much they earn after level 15.

    For example, your team setup is a Ninja, Thief, Devout, and Summoner. The Ninja throws a shuriken, Devout casts cura, Thief steals, Summoner casts leviathan. Each gains that job level point (20 for being under level 14, "said amount" for being over 14") for that turn they attacked, cast, used an item or defended.

    Now saying that here is another instance. Say you punched in all those commands but your Devout wasn't fast enough for that cura and your enemy knocked down you summoner before he/she could cast. Though you punched in that command for your summoner, he/she won't get that job level point for that turned because that character did not "act" that turn.

    Simple enough? Oh there is a way to "Cheat" ( I don't think it is because the way I see it If I get into a battle and win I deserve that to gain a job level no matter how I do it) this job level gain aside from your characters levels through experience points. You can guard (aside from a Thief because that action is replaced with Steal) each turn to gain said job level points and actually gain a job level each fight you encounter. It makes your characters more proficient earlier on in the game and actually makes the game a lot easier.

    I didn't do this until after getting the Invincible because to me around this time, this is when FF III kicks it up a notch and a lot more enemies can act x2 in one turn. This is when the game starts getting brutal and if your characters job levels aren't up to par or your trying to experiment with a new job and your characters levels aren't that high, your toast. So far I have a Thief job level 40, White Mage job level 73, Dark Knight job level 30, and a Black Mage job level 77 (yeah I trained hard).
