Since the game has no set class, (your class is based on the weapon that you'r using) there is 3 ways of doing stuff.

Fighting: Classes like: archer, lancer, gladiator, marauder, etc
Gathering: Classes like: hunter (hunt wild animals not actual monsters), woodcutter, fisher, etc.
Crafting: Classes like: Blacksmith, handicraft and whatnot, My guess would be that the Weaver is a craft class that makes clothe type of stuff, otherwise a mage type of class...

Gladiator

- The Best Defense

Gladiators are expert swordsmen, known for their battle prowess with blades of all designs: short and long, single- and double-edged, straight and curved. They favor combat at close range, where they masterfully execute a deadly array of hacks and slashes. The skill and pride of a gladiator instill such a confidence that they are said to never shun a fight.

For ages, gladiatorial techniques have evolved and proliferated to a staggering degree, adapting to fit any combat style. Dauntless gladiators will often ready sturdy shields in their off-hands, eager to defend comrades-in-arms. Others opt to forego such encumbrance, focusing all effort instead on their sword arm and pure offense. In addition, gladiators are also known to be formidable with throwing knives, and are master battle tacticians.

- For All Occasions
The history of the bastard sword is one of ambitious synthesis, as blacksmiths long sought to merge the best that all blades had to oiler. The end result persists in the modern form: an extended grip and blade combining the slashing edge of Ul'dahic swords with the thrusting power of those from Ishgard.

Pugilist

- Fisticuffs of Fury

Pugilists are renowned for being rugged combatants tempered by ceaseless training and rigorous self- discipline. Though formidable even when bare-fisted, through the use of hand-to-hand weaponry their destructive capabilities are compounded with the strength of metal, leather, and bone. They strive to close the distance between their opponents and themselves, as they outmatch nearly airy adversary in close-quarters combat. Some have become so adept at this maneuvering that they are able to negate the reach advantages of even the longest blade or spear.

- Tiger Style

A case of nature modeling at its finest, the design of baghnalchs mimics the lethal claws of Korzea's large predatory cats. Originally hailing from the eastern realms, they have long been regarded as a weapon of assassins, and are often concealed. The claws of some baghnakhs house highly toxic poisons which are applied as the blades shred and puncture flesh.
