Defines the playstyle available to the character through associated skills, perk, and attributes. There are six standard jobs available to the player, but more can be discovered during gameplay.
The basic jobs are...
Another common job is Idle, an empty placeholder job. As a gig, it only shows the character's job. When a character has this job, no gig can be taken and no job or gig information will be shown. This is the only job a character can double up on. New players start out Idle/Idle, choose their first job like Brawler/Idle. After more gigs are learned, they can switch their gig to Idle to emphasize their dedication to solo-classing their job. Blessfrey takes after Guild Wars in a lot of ways, and solo-classing was always something people kinda wanted. Without it, we resorted to picking joke or confusion-inducing secondary professions, or we tried to spell out words like "Mo/P," "E/Mo," etc.
A character can have a job and a side gig. All associated skills and attributes will be available to the character from both jobs. The character can mix playstyles to define his own multiclass. An Armsman/Disciple can be played like a paladin or cleric, a Hacker/Brawler can be played like a spy or assassin, and a Chemist/Tamer can poison his arrows using field medicine.
Perks are a special attribute. A class's perk is only available when it is selected as the job. It bestows a constant boon on the character, which increases in power as the perk is increased. Although a character cannot increase a gig's perk's value or gain its boon, he will have access to all the perk's associated skills, albeit at the lowest effectiveness.
A character has a $Jobs node that contains all jobs as children. Information about its job, gig, and perk and attribute values are stored in this scene.
The Jobs node has exported String variables first_job and first_gig for startup. Later, the jobs should be loaded from a save file, etc.
