About the Wyvern

The wyvern is the loyal companion of all Dragoons in Vana'diel, summoned through the job ability Call Wyvern. They remain by their side until dismissed or defeated.

  • If dismissed at 100% HP they may be immediately recalled via Call Wyvern.
  • If dismissed at ≤99% HP or defeated they will be subject to the recast time of Call Wyvern.

Wyverns will follow their master through zones, into battlefields, and while riding Chocobos and Mounts.

Wyverns are actually the same job as Dragoons and thus share the same traits such as Accuracy Bonus, Attack Bonus, etc, but also have the Subtle Blow trait which Dragoons do not.

Wyvern Level

While a Dragoon is first leveling up, their Wyvern will be the same level as the Dragoon at the point Call Wyvern is used. When the Dragoon levels up the wyverm must be dismissed/recalled in order to gain the level.

When a Dragoon has reached level 99, the Wyvern will be subject to item level gear just like the Dragoon is, except the Wyvern's level will be solely based on the item level of a Dragoon's mainhand weapon. making the current max level of a Wyvern, 119.

Parameter Increase

Every time the Dragoon gains 200 EXP the Wyvern will gain a parameter increase. This increase caps after 5 level ups, and will be obtained all at once if 1,000 EXP is gained at one time.

  • If a Dragoon has merits in Spirit Link then the wyvern will gain 200 EXP per level.
  • This increase is reset upon zoning, loss of the wyvern, starting a Unity or Geas Fete (Escha) battle, or entering an instance such as a BCNM.

The bonuses are as follows:

If a Dragoon possesses enough Job Points then a parameter increase will also grant them the following:

  • For the Wyvern per parameter increase:
    • HP +6% (Cap:30%)
    • Attack +4.6875% (12/256) (Cap:23.4375% (60/256))
    • Accuracy +6 (Cap:30)
    • Defense +Information Needed% (Cap:Information Needed)
    • Breath Potency Verification Needed +6% (Cap:30%) Verification Needed

Wyvern Types

Types of Wyverns
A Wyvern has three different types it may be. The current type of a Wyvern is set solely by the Support Job of the Dragoon.
Type Required Support Job Description
Offensive Wyvern None, WAR, MNK, THF, BST, RNG, SAM, COR, PUP, DNC This is the de facto Wyvern type. A Wyvern will use an elemental damage breath whenever the Dragoon uses a Weaponskill.
See: Elemental Breath
Defensive Wyvern WHM, BLM, RDM, SMN, BLU, SCH, GEO The Wyvern will use a soothing removal breath whenever the Dragoon uses a Weaponskill if an applicable status ailment is active on the Dragoon.
The Wyvern will also be capable of healing the Dragoon and party members after triggered to by the Dragoon when their HP has gone below a certain threshold and any spell is cast by the Dragoon (via their support job).
See: Healing Breath
Multipurpose Wyvern PLD, DRK, BRD, NIN, RUN This is a combination of both Offensive and Defensive Wyverns. Elemental Breaths will be used after a Weaponskill, but not Removal Breaths.
The Wyvern will cure the Dragoon only, and the HP threshold to do so is lower than a purely Defensive Wyvern.

Elemental Breath

Elemental Breath

Elemental breaths are triggered after each time a Dragoon uses a weaponskill or uses Smiting Breath.

Only offensive and hybrid type wyverns may use an Elemental Breath.

The selected breath is determined exclusively by an opponents weakness. Magic damage reduction debuffs, absoprtion, accuracy buffs such as Klimaform, or equipment such as the Drachen Armet/+1 or Vishap Armet/+1/+2/+3 are ignored entirely. Debuffs on the monster such as Threnody or Skillchains are factored into this choice though. In the event of a weakness tie, breaths are selected in the following order of Fire → Ice → Wind → Earth → Thunder → Water


Elemental breaths are capable of magic bursting.

Elemental breaths are subject to being resisted by a foe (1/2, 1/4, 1/6, or 1/8th resist).

The damage is calculated as breath damage meaning they are unaffected by Magic Defense Bonus, magic damage reduction, the day of the week, or weather. Elemental breaths are also not affected by increasing the wyvern's magic attack bonus or through similar benefits.

Potency is increased via a wyverns current HP and current TP as well as breath + equipment and augments.

Elemental breath corresponds to the following formula:

Damage Dealt = Information Needed
Breath Level Acquired Damage Type
Flame Breath 1 Element: Fire Fire
Frost Breath 1 Element: Ice Ice
Sand Breath 1 Element: Earth Earth
Gust Breath 1 Element: Wind Wind
Hydro Breath 1 Element: Water Water
Lightning Breath 1 Element: Thunder Thunder

Healing Breath

Healing Breath

Healing breaths are triggered after each time a Dragoon casts a spell are an appropriate HP threshold (below) or uses Restoring Breath.

Only defensive and hybrid type wyverns may use healing breath.

Healing breath has a max range of 13' and generate little or no enmity.


Potency is increased via a wyverns max HP and current TP as well as breath + equipment and augments.

Healing breath corresponds to the following formula:

HP Recovered = [([(Wyvern HP)*(Breath Multiplier/256)] + Healing Breath Base + (Breath Job Points * 10)) * (1 + (Breath Augments/100))]


Breath Multiplier = Σ(Healing Breath Value + Enhances Breath Equipment + Deep Breathing Modifier)
Deep Breathing Modifier = ([37.5 + (12.5 * Deep Breathing Merits)] + Augment-Icon.png Augment Deep Breathing)
Augment Deep Breathing = 5 per merit including the first
Breath Level Acquired Healing Breath Value Healing Breath Base
Healing Breath 1 35/256 8
Healing Breath II 20 48/256 24
Healing Breath III 40 55/256 42
Healing Breath IV 80 63/256 60
Healing Breath Activation Threshold
Healing Breath has a max HP threshold before it will active. Once a spell is cast at the proper amount of HP the Wyvern will use a Healing Breath.

The spell takes into account your HP at the time the spell is cast (midcast) and not before or while it is being casted.

The AF helm (Drachen Armet/+1 or Vishap Armet/+1/+2/+3) may be worn at midcast to trigger a healing breath and then changed to a helm that enhances breath potency (see below).

Wyvern Type Support Jobs Required Normal HP Threshold AF Head HP Threshold Will Cure
Defensive WHM, BLM, RDM, SMN, BLU, SCH, GEO 33.3% 50% Party
Hybrid PLD, DRK, BRD, NIN, RUN 25% 33.3% Self

Removal Breath

Removal Breath

Removal breaths take the place of an elemental breath. After a weaponskill the wyvern will remove a corresponding status ailment from the Dragoon or party member.

Only defensive type wyverns may use a removal breath.

Note: Remove Doom only has a 20~25% chance of success.

Breath Level Acquired
Remove Poison 1
Remove Blind 20
Remove Paralysis 40
Remove Curse/Doom 60
Remove Disease/Plague 80

Enhances Breath Equipment

Notes

Enhances Breath Equipment has a cap of 64/256.

Equipment with an Augment-Icon.png augment of "Breath +" is separate from the equipment cap of 64/256 and works based off a x/100 system where 100/100 would effectively double the power of a breath.
