What are Harvestella jobs?
Harvestella jobs are simular to classes in other RPGs. They dictate your fighting style, and which moves and abilities you can use. You can equip up to three jobs to your taskbar, and switch between them on the fly with a short cooldown.
Combat relies heavily on taking advantage of enemy weaknesses and resistances, and most job skills and abilities have pretty long cooldowns. As such, it’s important get familiar with the jobs you have equipped and swap between them frequently, popping abilities then switching to another job as they’re on cooldown.
How do I unlock Harvestella jobs?
Due to the unique ability of your weapon, Proshades, your character is capable of learning each job by observing the techniques of others. As such, whenever a new party member joins your team, you unlock their job.
New party members join your team as you progress through the game’s main story quests.
How do I upgrade Harvestella jobs?
Each Harvestella job has its own skill tree with a bunch of active and passive abilities to unlock. Unlocking each new skill requires Job Points (JP) for that specific job. To earn job points, you need to use the corresponding job while out battling and defeating enemies.
