Additional Actions
Additional Actions (also known as cross-class skills) were a set of abilities that could be used by multiple classes or jobs.
PvE
Disciples of War and Magic

From the original release of A Realm Reborn to the release of Stormblood, players could equip any of the following actions on compatible classes or jobs. In order to be able to equip said action, players have to learn it by levelling the associated class to the appropriate level.
Each base class could equip up to 10 additional actions at Level 50 and above, while each job was limited to just 5. This added some degree of customisation to the character building process. However, most skills that would be spec’d into this way were rarely as useful as the skills any given class or job could learn naturally. Meanwhile, actions that were desirable to spec into, such as Swiftcast (which lets the user cast their next spell instantly) or Cleric Stance (which lets healers optimise their damage by swapping their INT and MND stats), were deemed too good to ignore, especially in endgame duties, which forced affected players to level classes they might otherwise not be interested in. With the release of Stormblood, this system was retired for combat classes and was replaced with the role action system.
The following list shows all the additional actions that were available to combat classes. To note: Blue checkmarks (1
) indicate a native ability for that class or job.

- ↑ Raise could generally only be used outside of combat. Conjurer and White Mage however had a trait called Enhanced Raise that allowed them to cast it when engaged in combat, too. When additional actions were removed, Enhanced Raise was removed as well, and its effect integrated into the spell Raise itself.
- ↑ Thunder was changed to being a Thaumaturge/Black Mage exclusive action in Patch 2.1
