* Players can only change their class or job outside of combat.
Variant Actions and Attribute Adjustments
To allow for greater freedom of role choices, variant dungeons grant players the use of special variant actions. These actions mimic existing abilities such as Cure or Rampart.
Moreover, certain attributes will also be adjusted to compensate for the disparity of strength between certain roles, alleviating the need for dedicated tanks, DPS, or healers.
Setting Variant Actions
Variant actions can be selected from the V&C Dungeon Finder window. Players may have up to two variant actions at any given time, and are free to change them at any time, even after entering the dungeon.
* Available variant actions will differ according to your role.

The criterion dungeon, Another Sil’dihn Subterrane, has been added.
