Story Quests JP & Item Drop Double-Up Campaign
Limited-time story quests JP double-up campaign allows you to farm JP fast.
Thank you for this. I was wondering about the total cost of leveling a job to 20. It cost a boat load for JP and GIL. I guess I'll soldier on since I'm nowhere near that many JP.
