for the most part you'd skill up inside of the long amazing parties and would cap out on a single weapon before you even level up. Yes mind you some jobs like WAR and DRK had like 4 weapons to skill up. DRK could use Scythe and greatsword but were also seen using swords axes and Great axes. ones of the cooler features of having multiple weapons is the DRK had the chance to souleater + last resort and use K-club (2-8 hit weapon) and destroy monsters (or hard bosses) and it made the game easier Not saying the armory system is BAD but honestly only reason I loved some of the jobs were because of their weapon choices. DRK for instance I had like 100 skill level in scythe but max in Greatsword with Ragnarok and I'd not even acknowledge scythe because I didn't like it one bit... if DRK in 14 uses scythe and not GS then I'd be deeply sad
