Dark Knight (Extra Job)
The Dark Knight is an Extra Job, a job that must be quested for upon reaching level 30 before it becomes available to your character. As such, you will have a good working knowledge of the FF XI world by the time you are ready to attempt the Dark Knight Quest (see below for information on the Dark Knight Quest).
Switching to the Dark Knight job for the first time (just like switching to any other job for the first time) means that you start at level 1 in the job.
The Dark Knight
A Dark Knight's purpose in life is the destruction of those whom they see as their enemies. They will employ all available methods to accomplish this, even to the point of employing dark magic to leech the health from their opponents to restore their own.
Dark Knights have strong magic defense. Dark Knight spells are not designed to help their party - instead, their destructive magics are employed to make the fight end quicker (Dark Knights are not known for having large amounts of MP).
Dark Knights forsake shields to employ large weapons of destruction such as great swords and scythes. With these large weapons and their offensive magical powers, dealing death is definitely the strong point of a dark knight.
