FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles: Solved-can't Find Where to Add Secondary Abiliy

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Selecting the other option on the job would change the character into that job.

What you need to know

If you are playing with a mouse and keyboard and struggling to assign secondary abilities or passive skills like JP Boost, the menu navigation can be confusing. There is currently no confirmed universal fix for every menu issue, but players using keyboard controls have successfully equipped secondary skillsets using specific key combinations.

Step by step

  1. Right-click to open the main menu.
  2. Press Enter to select the Equipment and Abilities option.
  3. Press the D key to move right one menu section, and press the S key to move down one section to reach the subskill slot.
  4. Press Enter to select the subskill slot.
  5. Scroll down to choose the specific skillset you want to equip.
  6. To learn and unlock new skills instead of equipping them, go to the Job menu option in the first step, then select the desired job and choose the option on the left.

Tips

  • Remember that simply clicking around the job screen will often change the character into that job rather than letting you assign secondary abilities.
  • Use the keyboard shortcuts carefully if you do not have a controller plugged in.

What players reported

I am an Level 5 Archer and want to add something like Tailwind from my Level 3 Squire who has tail wind. I highlight the Archer in Jobs, then click the Squire to see his skills. I still can't assign a skill from the Squire to the Archer, what do I do, please? I have checked all over. Please be exact. Click x, select y, etc...

What players suggest

Uhhh I think for MKB it's right-click to open menu, then Enter to select "Equipment & Abilities", then D to move right one and S to move down one to the subskill slot, then Enter to select it, then scroll down to whatever skillset you want. As far as learning the skills, you'd go to "Job" on step 1, then select the job you want, select whichever the left one is (don't have game open at present)…

Thanks Pickleton. worked just like you described. I finally got JPboost added and some others, thanks a lot! To some of the others, I don't even have a controller, I am old school.
