Category:Enhancing Magic

From FFXI Wiki
(Redirected from Enhancing magic skill)



Overview

Enhancing Magic is a general category which includes spells that are generally focused on giving lasting "buff" effects that enhance various attributes of the target, with a small subset of these spells focused on teleportation. These spells fall into many different subcategories, including:

Additionally, there are many other Enhancing Magic spells with varying effects. The vast majority of enhancing magic spells are classified as White Magic, although relocation and spikes spells acquired by Black Mage are classified as Black Magic.

  • Enhancing Magic skill determines the potency and spell interruption rate of Enhancing Magic spells.
    • Keep in mind not all spells that are in this category benefit from enhancing magic skill directly (such as Protect and Shell for example), while some have clear and definite caps (for example Phalanx caps at 500 skill.)
      • Most spells that are affected by Enhancing Skill cap at 500. Exceptions include Temper, Temper II and Enspells, which have no known cap, and Stoneskin which factors both Enhancing Skill and MND into its potency, but would require 540 skill to reach the cap with 0 MND.

With the exception of Haste and Flurry, single target white magic enhancing spells that are acquired by Scholar or Red Mage and White Mage sub jobs may be turned AoE by the Scholar Light Arts stratagem Accession. All white magic enhancing spells that bestow a buff with some duration may be doubled in duration by the stratagem Perpetuance; this now includes Protect and Shell spells too.

Note: While the duration of most buffing enhancing magic spells is constant, when an enhancing spell is cast on a target whose level is lower than the earliest possible level the spell can be learned, the duration of the spell will be reduced proportionally to the level difference (e.g. Haste casted on a level 5 player will only last a few seconds).

Equipment Bonuses

Enhancing magic bonuses on equipment fall into one of three categories:

  • Enhancing magic skill bonuses
  • Enhancing magic casting time reduction
  • Enhancing magic duration bonuses

Enhancing magic skill bonuses directly adds to the player's enhancing magic skill.

Enhancing magic casting time reduction reduces casting time of all spells classified as enhancing magic by the percentage listed, stacks with other forms of casting time reduction such as Light Arts and Fast Cast.

Enhancing magic duration bonuses stack together multiplicatively with the following formula:

(Base Duration + (6s × RDM Group 2 Merit Point Level) + (3s × RDM Relic Hands Group 2 Merit Point Level Augment) + RDM Job Points + Gear that list Seconds) × (Augments Composure Bonus) × (Duration listed on Gear + Naturalist's Roll) × (Duration Augments on Gear) × (Rune Fencer Gifts) × (Perpetuance)
  • For calculating the duration of an enhancing spell keep in mind non-applicable bonuses are removed from the formula if not needed (ex. if augments are 0 the formula won't try to multiply by 0). Enhancing magic skill also provides no increase in duration.
  • Examples of Gear that lists seconds.
  • Be aware of the difference listed below between Duration Listed on Gear (like Ammurapi Shield versus Duration Augments on Gear such as Telchine Chasuble +10% max augment) as they're applied at different steps of the formula making some more valuable than others.

The RDM job ability Composure triples the duration of self-targeted enhancing spells but allowing them to go no higher then 30 minutes. If your spells would be longer then 30 minutes without Composure then it does nothing for them and you get the higher duration. The set bonus pieces of either the Estoqueur's Armor Set +2, Lethargy Armor Set, +1, +2, and/or +3 allows Composure to yield duration bonus to buffs cast on other players, up to 50% duration bonus.

  • 2 pieces of the set - 10%
  • 3 pieces of the set - 20%
  • 4 pieces of the set - 35%
  • 5 pieces of the set - 50%

The SCH stratagem Perpetuance doubles the duration of the next casted enhancing magic spell.

As an example to understand the formula let's take a SCH main casting Regen V (60 seconds base), with 20/20 Light Arts Job Points and the JA active (+60 seconds for job points, + 48 seconds for level 99 SCH main in Light Arts), and wearing Lugh's Cape and Telchine Chasuble (+27 seconds), and with Embla Sash and Ammurapi Shield (+20% Duration listed on Gear), and wearing 3 pieces of augmented telechine (+30% Duration Augments on Gear) and lastly with Perpetuance with Arbatel Bracers +1 active (x2.55 multiplier):

(60 + 60 + 27 + 48) × (1.2) × (1.3) × (2.55) = 775.72 seconds or around 12:56 minutes.
  • As you can notice specific spells modifiers are injected in the formula at specific spots, again increasing or decreasing their strength
  • In general adding flat duration is very impactful since it is at the very beginning of the formula.
