Sage at a glance
Sage (SGE) is a Disciple of Magic job introduced in Endwalker (6.0) expansion and unlockable at level 70 with sufficient progression in the Main Scenario Quests. The job starts at level 70 once unlocked. It is a Healer job and does not have a base class. Sages use aether to manipulate nouliths in combat, and are able to temporarily augment their own magic abilities. It is considered a "barrier" healer, along with Scholar, specializing in reducing incoming damage using shields and mitigation abilities.
