Bravely Default 2: How to Farm JP Early Game

The job system in Bravely Default 2 is the most distinct part of the game. You can think of jobs in this game as classes or sub-classes. Each job comes with its own active and passive abilities.

These active and passive abilities can be used without having the job equipped, only if the abilities unlocked. Many seem to be confused as to how many players manage to level up their jobs extremely fast.

There are many things you can do to improve how fast you get JP – job points, and what’s surprising is the fact that you can do it relatively early game.

The first job that you get in Bravely Default 2 is Freelancer, and this is arguably the most important jobs in this game, even though many discard it. Why this job is so important is because there are two abilities which will multiple your JP by a whopping x1.7.

So, the main thing that you need to do is level up the Freelancer job to level 12. After that, make sure that you select both JP Up and JP Up and Up, as main abilities for every character in your party.

After this, each time you finish up a fight or a boss, you will get a multiplied amount of JP. This is currently the best way to farm JP in Bravely Default 2.

JP Up and Up – Multiplies JP by 1.5. Combined with JP Up, it caps at 1.7.

This is the main reason why the Freelancer job is so important in Bravely Default 2.
