These abilities can be bought on your status screen using JP (Job Points) earned by using the Chemist job.Ī. For instance, to use Phoenix Downs, you must first learn the Chemist's 'Phoenix Down' ability. To learn how to use each type of item, the character must also learn the ability that goes along with it. So, switch one of your characters to a Chemist - or assign Items as a secondary Action Ability. Items are used with the Items command, which belongs to the Chemist job. How do I use items like Potions or Phoenix Downs?Ī.
If you check out the 'Exp, JP, and Gil' section of this FAQ, you'll also find tips on maximizing your JP haul, though you don't *need* them at the start of the game. The in-game tutorial, available from the title screen, can walk you through this step-by-step. Then point to a character, press Triangle to open the menu, and choose Abilities. (Gaining JP also eventually unlocks new jobs for you to use.) To buy abilities, on the map screen, open the menu (with Triangle) and enter the Party Roster screen. You earn JP separately for each job, so earning JP as an Archer only lets you buy Archer abilities. New abilities are 'purchased' using JP, which you earn from any successful action in battle. I just started the game how do I learn new abilities?Ī. I have edited some text in order to make it work in Freeola's systems.
