Disciplines are the foundation of the Armory System in Final Fantasy XIV. There are four different base disciplines: War, Magic, Land, and Hand. Each different discipline can divide into several classes. Your class changes whenever you equip a different weapon, with each specific class having different weapons they use.

Disciples of WarEdit

The Disciplines of War are disciplines revolving around physical combat.

• Archer (bows)
• Gladiator (one-handed swords and shields)
• Lancer (spears and lances)
• Marauder (two-handed axes)
• Pugilist (claws and metal knuckles)

Disciples of MagicEdit

The Disciplines of Magic specialize in using magic for combat rather than physical attacks.

• Conjurer (wands and radicals)
• Thaumaturge (scepters and staves)
• Arcanist (Grimoires)

Disciples of LandEdit

The Disciplines of Land use tools in order to carve materials from the earth for use in crafting.

• Fisher (fishing rods)
• Botanist (hatchets)
• Miner (pickaxes)

Disciples of HandEdit

The Disciplines of Hand use basic materials found on monsters or by Disciples of Land in order to create new objects.

• Alchemist (alembics)
• Armorer (raising hammers)
• Blacksmith (cross-pein hammers)
• Carpenter (handsaws)
• Culinarian (skillets)
• Goldsmith (chaser hammers)
