How to create a Pathfinder
![](/class-icons/explorers/how-to-create-pathfinder.png)
To create one, choose the 'Pathfinder' option in the Character Creation screen. Pathfinders have their own separate creation button like Dual Blade and Cannoneer. As well, they have a different story than regular Explorers but are part of the same class group
Relic Gauge
Pathfinders have a special gauge called the Relic Gauge that is used to cast certain Skills. Attacking enemies will charge up your Relic Gauge. At the center of the gauge, there is also a special emblem that changes depending on which the skills you use. Some skills will change depending on what the emblem is
There are three types of emblems (from left to right): Deluge, Burst and Torrent
Additionally, in 2nd Job you will have unlocked your 2 main attacks, Cardinal Deluge (1st Job) and
Cardinal Burst (2nd Job). These two skills can be placed in a skill macro to be used together where Cardinal Burst is placed first and Cardinal Deluge is placed second. Skill macros can be found by pressing a button on the bottom right of the Skill UI
