Combat Skills and Magic Skills are stats that are natural to a character's job and are raised just by using them on mobs of a level appropriate to your skill.
There is a cap to each skill depending on the class and their proficiency with said skill. As your job level goes up, the cap rises as well.
Certain jobs excel at some skills, while other jobs excel at others. Make sure you know what skills your job excels at and raise them to reach the maximum potential of your character.
Master Levels increase a job's innate skills by 1 level per Master Level earned. These skills stretch beyond the caps listed on this page.
