Available after completing the quests [[Save My Son]] and [[Path of the Beastmaster]], these experts in monster research have trained tirelessly to communicate with, and even control the animals of [[Vana'diel]].  Based on their [[:Category:Bestiary#Beast Strength Chart|knowledge of beasts]], Beastmasters (BST) can [[charm]] the beasts of Vana'diel to fight alongside them or obtain items that summon beasts called [[:Category:Familiars|Familiars]] through the [[Call Beast]] job ability.

Beastmasters are generally considered the best solo job in the game. Beastmasters often can be found soloing monsters or teaming up with other Beastmasters in all-Beastmaster [[parties]].  In a conventional party, a Beastmaster will most frequently fill the roles of [[Damage Dealer|damage dealer]] and [[puller]], and augment their damage with [[Jug Pet|"Jug Pets"]].
