Lore
Though now under Garlean rule, the city-state of Ala Mhigo once boasted the greatest military might of all Eorzea. Among its standing armies were the monks—ascetic warriors as dreaded by foes on the field of battle as the city-state’s great pikemen.
The monks comprised an order known as the Fist of Rhalgr, and it was to this god—the Destroyer—that they devoted their lives of worship. By mastering seats of power within the body known as chakra, they are capable of performing extraordinary physical feats.
Combat Role
The Monk job adds the power of wind to the elemental repertoire of the pugilist, and in marrying offense and defense in attacks, improves upon the pugilist’s capacity to deal explosive damage.
Requirements:
Level 30 Pugilist and level 15 Lancer.
As a pugilist, talk to Gagaruna of the Platinum Mirage (Pugilists’ Guild), located in the Ul’dah Merchant Strip (5,4). Complete the job quest “Brother from Another Mother,” and receive the Soul of the Monk.
