From FFXI Wiki

Protect GUI.png Protect Spells are a long-lasting (30 minutes) buff used to increase defense. There are two varieties of Protect spell:

Single Target Area of Effect Defense
Protect Protectra 20
Protect II Protectra II 50
Protect III Protectra III 90
Protect IV Protectra IV 140
Protect V Protectra V 220


Enhancing Gear

There are currently two pieces of gear (Brachyura Earring and Sheltered Ring) that enhance Protect potency when worn while receiving the spell effect. So, if you were in a party of 6 people and only one player was wearing the enhancing gear, only that player would receive the effect enhancement.

  • The effects from these two items do not stack.
  • Wearing both items would only give the effect of one item.
Protect Spell Tier Defense Enhancement
I 2
II 4
III 6
IV 8
V 10

Paladin & Shield Barrier Trait

At level 70, Paladin gets access to Shield Barrier trait which increases the Defence boost of Protect Spells cast by a Paladin by the amount of DEF the equipped shield has.

  • e.g. a shield with DEF: 130 would make a PLD's Protect V give a total of +350 (220 + 130) Defense.

A level 70+ Paladin can cast Protect V to all members of the party within range and bonus applies to all party members. This makes Paladin Protect V more potent than a WHM.
