Some Weapon Skills are tied to certain jobs whereas others are unlockable via quests. Consult the lists below for individual requirements.

=== [[Relic Weapons]] === 
Relic Weapons have unique Weapon Skills associated with them that may only be used when wielding a Stage 4 (In Dynamis Only) or Stage 5 weapon. Weapons dropped in Abyssea areas also unlock relic weapon skills but only when the requirements of their latent effect have been met.
