Lore

For centuries, the elite of the Sultansworn have served as personal bodyguards to the royal family of Ul’dah. Known as paladins, these men and women marry exquisite swordplay with stalwart shieldwork to create a style of combat uncompromising in its defense. Clad in brilliant silver armor, they charge fearlessly into battle, ever ready to lay down their lives for their liege.

To be a paladin is to protect, and those who choose to walk this path will become the iron foundation upon which the party’s defense is built.
Combat Role

The paladin job sacrifices maximum HP, but this is compensated by way of greatly enhanced defense as well as the ability to cast healing magic. Valiant by nature, a paladin can shield his comrades from blows, making him the unyielding rock upon which a party’s defense is built.

Requirements:
Level 30 Gladiator and level 15 Conjurer.
As a gladiator, talk to Lulutsu in the Coliseum (Gladiators’ Guild), located in the Ul’dah Merchant Strip (5,5). Complete the job quest “Paladin’s Pledge,” and receive the Soul of the Paladin.
