==Force Skills==

'''Force Skills''' are an additional skill system implemented as part of each character's 3rd Job. Unlike previous skills which can be found in the Skill menu, Force Skills possess their own unique UI. Unlike previous skills, '''Force Skills''' are unlocked via dungeon drops which allow you access to the found skill in the new menu.

'''Force Skills''' are divided into three categories, '''Force Passives''', '''Force Actives''', and '''Force Mod''' skills. All three of these type of skills can be selected as well as toggled on and off at any given time (except PvP).

Upon unlocking this new system, an additional 5 skill slots will be made available for a player to use, and you are able to switch between the regular slots and these additional slots with the spacebar at will.  

Despite being unlocked as part of the Force Skill system, these slots are not exclusive to Force Actives, and any skill can be placed on them. There is however, still a limit of up to 10 normal skills that can be carried at any given time. The additional slots also lack a Transcendance bonus slot.

With the new system comes a new UI which stores all the information regarding the new Force Skills.

On the Force Skill Menu, you are allowed to equip up to '''2 Passives, 5 Actives, and 7 Mod''' skills at any given time. Player's can store at least a minimum of 32 Force Skills at any given time.

'''Force Passives''' are exactly as the name might imply. They are skill which when equipped with provide some sort of passive benefit. The passives are non-character specific.

An example is the skill as shown in the picture called "[[Energy of Illipia]]", which increases the user's health as well as allow them to restore the HP when out of combat.

'''Force Actives''' are non-character specific actives command which can provide a variety to attack or buffs.

An example is the skill as shown in the picture called "[[Extreme Speed]]", which allows the user to temporarily increase their speed drastically but briefly decrease their speed afterwards.

'''Force Mod''' skills are skills which influence specific skills for each individual character and class. When a '''Force Mod''' skill is equipped in the menu, that specific skill with go through a functional change when used often changing aspects of the skill completely. Each Mod skill is a separate drop and you can obtain the Mod skills of other classes, however you will not be able to do anything with them.

An example is the skill as shown in the picture called "[[Supreme Punishment (Force)]]", which allows [[Catastrophe]] to convent [[Supreme Punishment]] from a single bombing wave with a fire trail to 5 consecutive bombings with no trail.

A unique part of the '''Force Skills''' system is that some skills come with different rarities which influence their performance. This however only applies to '''Passives''' and '''Actives'''. '''Mod''' skills are always categorized as Common and are not influenced by rarity.

With '''Passives''' and '''Actives''', they can come in 4 different rarities. '''Rare''', '''Elite''', '''Unique''', and '''Legendary'''. For most skills, they will come only in '''Rare''', '''Elite''', or '''Unique''' variants. These variants determine the effectiveness of the passive of active's traits.

*A 3rd job's initial 6 Force skills ('''Energy of Illipia''', '''Tracking Sinister Intent''', '''Extreme Speed''' and 3 Force Change skills depending on class) can be bought for 5 million ED at [[Camilla]] at any time, should you accidentally lose or discard them.

*Force skills can be toggle on and off while in fields and dungeons, including Active and Change skills. Doing so will simply put the skill on cooldown.

*Skills modified by a Force Mod will have '{{SkillType|Mod}}' in front on the bottom left of the screen when the skill in question is used by a player, much like [Enhanced].
