I

agree. I have MP and Regen almost capped for WHM, and I want to cap enmity-, but I want to level ninja also, so

i'm thinking i have to XP a cutie mithra nin, or just not merit enmity-

Semi Updated. Fixing it back to normal atm.

Falconblade :
All but the job specific bonuses become a permanent part of your character.

Awesome, that's what i needed to hear, Thanks for great information on Merit Points!!

[Zenki]

I will ask

the stupid question.

Under the "Other" catagory, you have the option to "Increase Emnity" or "Decrease

Emnity". You illustrate that once you spend the points for "Decrease Emnity" and max it out the text becomes blue

to denote that. My question is this:

Why doesn't the "Increase Emnity" catagory get changed to red

(meaning it can't be upgraded), the instant you raise "Decrease Emnity". Afterall, unless the system in some way

differentiates between which jobs would benefit from either emnity (+) or emnity (-) they would ultimately cancel

one another out.

[Amberr]

question,

when you increase job specific abilities, like whm's regen hp+, when you get, say, warrior up to lvl 75, can i

start putting in points to double attack+1%, or no? and would the whms regen hp+ go away if i changed back to

whm?

[Falconblade]

I

belive that the Job Specific Merits stay with your Char when you are on that job. When you switch, its still

there, just not active.

And no reason why it doesnt change to red. But thats more of a Cosmetic Change than

anything.

[Amberr]

well, i

meant, if the limit of merrits is 5, and i put 5 into whm abilities, would i get to put another 5 into another

jobs abilities? or no?

[Koryuu]

Probably or I would be organising people to complain

about it
thats almost forcing you to start a new character to have more then 1 job at 75

[Saphirea]

So is

that correct then,
Say me as a bard, start meriting -emnity
Would it be damn near impossible for me to

level nin as well due to me having -emnity or does the -emnity trait "turn off" when I'm no longer using a job

that would benifit from say -emnity

[Falconblade]

Ill

requote it

All but the job specific Bonuses are permanent to your Char.

Enmity + and - is not Job specific. So yes, your NIN is screwed.

[Ddbone]

Amberr,

Koryuu,

You get a max of 5 job specific merits on each level 75 job. Each time a job reaches 75, you are

at 0/5 for job specific merits, on that new job. The general merits (attributes, combat skills, hp mp, magic

skills, others) are applied to every job, and once u reach cap on one job they stay capped for all

jobs.

Koryuu

You are given the option to decrease merits, howeever you are NOT reimbursed for those

merits, so choose wisely

[shivafeb20]

ok can

someone help me? what does ^.^ mean?

[melman]

^.^

<=this is a face

now on to my question. if i put one merit in shield. i get one shield skill? as in 277

instead of 276?

[Falconblade]

Updated.

And i belive that each skill merit = 2 skill points.

[MashuDRK]

Is it

possible to focus all 12 combat skill merits in weapons? Or is the limit 8 total for *all* weapons?

[Iresire]

Eight is

the limit for all the weapon skills. The other four are for the "boxing" skills.

[Saphirea]

so I

could then as a bard with the suppanomi earring could learn savage blade or something like that

[Falconblade]

Iresire :
Eight is the limit for all the weapon skills. The other four are for the "boxing"

skills.

Howdy Ire.

Anyway, If BRD can equip the Sapara of Trials, and can get enough

skill with merits and that earring, i dont see why not.
But!

●Sapara of Trials 71 38 236

WAR/RDM/PLD/DRK
Latent Effect : HP+20 [FIR]+10 [WND]+10

BRD cannot equip, and thus, cannot use Savage

Blade

[minque]

Falcon-

Question for you. What if the brd has war,rdm,pld,drk high enough to equip the sapara and learn savage blade. If

they learn it on another job and wear appropriate gear on brd, would brd have access to it? (Would it depend on

what the brd subbed?)

[Falconblade]

Example: At level 75, a summoner's club cap is 225. If they used 3 merits into club, they

would have 231 skill and be elible to obtain Black Halo (note the importance that SMN is able to equip the Club

of Trials). I'm basing this example on Somepage.com's skill caps for Summoner at level 75. If it is

incorrect, then just pretend it is true for the purposes of an example.

BRD NEEDS to be able to

equip the Trials weapon.
