When you start the game, your initial level cap is set at 50. Through a series of quests you can gradually increase your level cap to the maximum of 99. These quests are called Limit Breaks or Genkai.

Limit Breaks 1-4 (50 → 70)

The first 4 limit break quests are the same for all 22 jobs.

Limit Break 5 (70 → 75)

The Limit Break to level 75 quest involves a one-on-one fight against a master of the job.

The 15 jobs from the original game and the Rise of the Zilart expansion (Warrior, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Red Mage, Thief, Paladin, Dark Knight, Beastmaster, Bard, Ranger, Samurai, Ninja, Dragoon, Summoner) feature a fight against Maat, who will change his abilities depending on the job.


All original Limit Break 5 quests require an appropriate Testimony for the job with which you wish to battle Maat.

  • Testimonies are good for three attempts before needing to be reacquired.

Also, when you enter the battlefield your Support Job will be restricted meaning that you will lose all buffs (except for food) and TP. You will also not lose EXP should you be defeated in the battlefield as long as it is for Limit Break 5.

Limit Break 6-10 (75 → 99)

Limit Breaks for each level need only to be completed once. For the fifth limit break (raising the level cap to 75), finishing any one of the quests will allow all other jobs to reach level 75, even if the job was not covered by that particular quest.
