Paladin (Extra Job)

The Paladin is an Extra Job, a job that must be quested for upon reaching level 30 before it becomes available to your character. As such, you will have a good working knowledge of the FF XI world by the time you are ready to attempt the Paladin Quest (see below for information on the Paladin Quest).

Switching to the Paladin job for the first time (just like switching to any other job for the first time) means that you start at level 1 in the job.

The Paladin

Paladins are holy knights who have pledged their lives to banishing undead from the land of Vana`diel. In doing so, Paladins learn many divine abilities, giving them additional powers against undead opponents.

Divine magic alone will does not defeat their enemies, so Paladins also spend considerable time mastering sword and shield combat. Their high defense and defensive abilities make them the best defensive (tank) class in the game. Because of this, Paladins are often found in the front lines of battles protecting their fellow party members.

Paladins have a good variety of magic spells which heal and protect their allies. However, they are not primary healers because of their low MP ( Mana Points).
