Trait Tier Testing

• Level 45 DRK, 10 Thunder spells gave 9 TP total meaning .9 TP per cast.

This sample excludes 3%MP->TP. 2.5% works.

• Level 45 DRK, 10 Stone II spells gives 10 TP total, meaning 1 TP per cast.

Again, 2.5% works and 2.1% doesn't, it's probably 2.5%

• Went through and verified the tier structure by casting things 10 times.
  • Level 57DRK - 2.5%
  • Level 58DRK - 43 MP x10 -> 21 TP -> 5%
  • Level 70DRK - 5%
  • Level 71DRK - 43 MP x10 -> 32 TP -> 7.5%
  • Level 83DRK - 59 MP x10 -> 44 TP -> 7.5%
  • Level 84DRK - The final tier was very easy to test in a variety of ways. You just try and make a whole number by combining compatible spells (like Stonega II and Firaga for 18 TP, then Stonega II again to show there was no remainder).
  • Level 95DRK - No new tier yet
• Checked out STP (it works)
• Checked out Bale Sollerets +1/Bale Sollerets +2 (data on main page)
  • Sollerets +1 w/ Aero 3 gave 12.1 TP/cast, About +1.5% TP/MP, or +15% TP return.
  • Sollerets +2 w/ Aero 3 gave 13.2 TP/cast. About +2.5% TP/MP, or +25% TP return.
• Cannot get an Oneiros Rope on the test server. Oh well q.q;
• Confirmed SCH and BLM tiers. High MP cost spells and high max MP makes it easy.

That's about it. This JT strikes me as fairly worthless for DRK, considering the only spells it applies to that they (sometimes) cast is Drain II. It's also worthless for SCH and BLM, considering they don't melee. Good job, SE. Why didn't you make something like this for BLU? --Byrthnoth 13:57, 11 September 2011 (EDT)

• 5x Aeroga II for 138 MP each net 86 MP. That's 17.2 TP per cast, or 12.5% base. Fifth tier confirmed. DRK97 has it, DRK96 does not. --Byrthnoth 15:53, 21 November 2011 (EST)
• SCH98 gets 21TP back for Blizzard V (282*7.5%=21.1 TP) and SCH97 gets only 14TP back (282*5%=14.1TP)--Byrthnoth 11:43, 24 November 2011 (EST)
