The Armoury System is FFXIV's class system.
- Start the game as a Class.
- Class is based on equipped weapon - Gladiator/Sword - Marauder/Axe - Lancer/Lance - Pugilist/Fist Weapon - Archer/Bow - Conjurer/Staff - Thaumaturge/Rod - Arcanist/Book -
- Traits are for the class you currently are only.
- Classes can use cross-class abilities from other classes. As you level up, you gain more ability slots for cross-class abilities (10 slots at level 50).
- Classes can use certain abilities from every other class. For example, you can equip the Pugilist's "Internal Release" and Lancer's "Blood for Blood" as a Gladiator.
- Your class can be changed in the field by changing your weapon once you unlock the Armoury System at level 10.
