"Apothecaries who can mix powerful brews, and gain twice the benefit when drinking potions and ethers."

—Description

See also: Chemist (Job).

The Chemist is a job in Final Fantasy V obtained after the Earth Crystal shatters. The Chemist is among the best self-buffing jobs in the game, but suffers due to poor weapon equipment choices, making them not suited for physical combat at all. The Chemist's main focus is their Mix command, which allows them to use up two items for a wide variety of attacks, ranging from offense, defense, support, buffing, and debuffing, up to and including unique abilities that can only be done via Mix. Given the proper tools, the Chemist can become the sole support character of a party.

AppearanceEdit

It's not very clear what the characters wear as chemists, other than yellow robes, yellow hats with a green star on them, and green scarves. Lenna's outfit is more orange than the others'.

AbilitiesEdit

• Job Command - Drink
• Innate Abilities - Pharmacology
• Equipment - Knives, Staves, Hats, Light Helmets, Clothes, Robes, Armlets, Angel Robe

Where to obtain

Drink lets the Chemist drink one of the following potions:

• Giant Drink
• Hard Body
• Hero Drink
• Power Drink
• Speed Drink

The potion will give it a stat boost of some kind. The Chemist isn't a high damage-dealing job, so the Drink ability can be put to good use by classes like Knight or Gladiator. Pharmacology doubles the effect of all curative items in the game when used by the Chemist.

Of note, Recover cures Darkness, Mini, Toad, Silence, Confuse, Paralysis, Old, and Sleep. Recover will never cure Petrify as intended due to a bug. Revive restores 6.25% of a KO'd ally's Max HP.

Upon mastery, Freelancers and Mimes gain the Chemist's base Strength, Agility and Stamina unless they already have a higher base from another mastered job.

The base stats for Chemists are:

• Strength: 26
• Agility: 27
• Stamina: 30
• Magic: 20
