Limit Break
From BGWiki
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 current maximum of 75. These quests are called Limit Breaks or Genkai.
The first 4 limit break quests are the same for all 20 jobs.
- Limit Break1/Genkai1: Level 55- In Defiant Challenge
- Limit Break2/Genkai2: Level 60- Atop the Highest Mountains
- Limit Break3/Genkai3: Level 65- Whence Blows the Wind
- Limit Break4/Genkai4: Level 70- Riding on the Clouds
The final Limit Break 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.
- Limit Break5/Genkai5: Level 75- Shattering Stars
Limit breaks for the jobs introduced in the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion feature fights with different opponents.
- Limit Break5/Genkai5: Level 75 (Blue Mage)- The Beast Within: Raubahn
- Limit Break5/Genkai5: Level 75 (Corsair)- Breaking the Bonds of Fate: Qultada
- Limit Break5/Genkai5: Level 75 (Puppetmaster)- Achieving True Power: Shamarhaan
Limit breaks for the jobs introduced in the Wings of the Goddess expansion also feature fights with different opponents.
- Limit Break5/Genkai5: Level 75 (Dancer)- A Furious Finale: Laila
- Limit Break5/Genkai5: Level 75 (Scholar)- Survival of the Wisest: Schultz and his Crimson Grimoire
All Limit Break 5 quests require an appropriate Testimony for the job with which you wish to battle Maat. 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 XP should you be defeated in the battlefield as long as it is for Limit Break 5.
Limit Breaks need only be completed once, for example, finishing Limit Break 5 will allow all other jobs to reach level 75, even if the job was not covered in that particular quest. (Your BLU, COR, PUP, DNC, and SCH limits are level 75 by completing the quest Shattering Stars.)
