Only veterans of the series may know, so, this article covers everything we know about the newest Dawntrail job so far, from likely abilities and limit breaks to level requirements and gear types!
FFXIV: is Krile a Pictomancer?

Ever since the conclusion of FFXIV: Endwalker's patch 6.5, when Krile held in her hand a green clover trinket, Final Fantasy Tactics players were quick to cry out that Green Mages are often recognised by their clover iconography. So, are fan theories followed that Krile is our first FFXIV Green Mage.
However, in the completed cinematic trailer for Dawntrail, Krile makes a grand entrance with a paintbrush in hand and proceeds to cast an array of immensely colorful spells in the manner of a Pictomancer. But what exactly is a Pictomancer, first seen in Final Fantasy 6?
FFXIV: Pictomancer Abilities:
Pictomancers, as demonstrated expertly by Krile in the Dawntrail trailer, are artistic spell casters, able to summon magical entities to dazzle and damage their foes. The Pictomancer's role will be one of a ranged damage-dealing caster, however, will tote some supporting abilities akin to those of Bard and Dancer.
FFXIV: Pictomancer Gear:
Gear for Pictomancers appears to be cloth-based, in a similar class to that of Summoner and Black Mage. We also know that their weapon will, indeed, be a Brush.
No official gear sets have yet been revealed for the Pictomancer job, though the below image might give us an idea of how they may look!
FFXIV: Pictomancer Level Requirement:
The Pictomancer job will be obtainable in Gridania as soon as you level to 80 with any other job. This is the only requirement to become a Pictomancer!
