#FFRK BLACK MAGIC ICON SERIES#

Many people reading this were first exposed to Square Enix’s venerable series almost 30 years ago on the NES. Ultimately I know nothing about macros, so somebody else would have to figure that out.We all know the Final Fantasy series has a long history dating back to 1987. So yeah, you may want to set up macros for farming Fabul. For 5 characters, sure, but still.įrankly there are only two reasonable options here: Ignore Magia pretty much altogether (at least for higher values, anyway), or macro it. Each EXP would take, what about a minute? 200 levels would be like 20 hours of farming, give or take. However, it also drops 1* equipment fodder for Sacred Weapons, so you can multitask here.īut, to farm even 200-300 Magia levels manually would probably represent a severe lapse in sanity, or perhaps cause one. The preferred option if only interested in Magia EXP.Ģ) Newcomer Dungeons, any realm 1st stage: 2 stamina for a 3-stage fight. There are basically two options for hard grinding this:ġ) Fabul Castle, classic realm dungeon: 1 stamina for a 1-stage fight. You'd have to farm Magia a LOT to get anywhere meaningful. Here's the glaring problem: Those numbers are huge. As such there may be multiple minor errors, but these values should be close at least. Frankly some of the number ranges look a little odd, but I can't really verify the accuracy. That first list comes from Altema, and the second from my own calculations based on those. Lv2400 is the effective maximum, though the Magia Levels do keep climbing past that. HP is subtle, but is and will always be important. So possibly focus on HP first regardless, even over ATK/MAG, with the primary goal being bringing everybody over 10,000 HP. The rest seems really sound.Įdit: Alternately, as noted by SolitaireD below, HP will become more important as enemies deal more and more damage, and being able to survive 9999-damage attacks after the Ward nerf can be particularly helpful. But that's quite minor at only 1 point each so whatever. The only part I don't really agree with is worrying about 1 in all Elem DEF, since you ultimately won't need most of them and should just place them as needed instead. Rosa : 100 HP -> 100 MND -> 1 all Elem DEF -> 100 DEF -> 100 MDEF -> whatever Maria : 100 MATK -> 100 HP -> 100 Earth ATK -> 1 All Elem DEF -> 100 DEF -> 100 MDEF -> whatever If you want something that can universally work in order of priority for me : For example, 1 point in Water Resistance will cancel out the Gigas Armlets' weakness to Water.ĪTK/MAG/MND/DEF/RES: +1 per point, +100 at 100 points.ĮlNino_FR posted this a while back, and I consider it to be fairly good advice: 1 point is enough to cancel out an inherent equipment weakness.

This does not stack with other sources of elemental resistance, such as accessories. This value is rounded down to the nearest whole number. The more boosting sources you have, the less effective it will be. Because of that math, the boost will generally be considerably less than the supposed expected percent.

This stacks additively inside the usual factor: (Field + Attach + Equip + Elem boost + Elem Break + Magia Elem Atk). Lightning: Lightning Boost / Lightning ResistanceĪ visual guide if you prefer, credits to Enlir and ElNino_FR: (The 100 point cap may be raised in the future, but JP has not done so to date.) These 24 attributes can be boosted by up to 100 points each. Each character has 12 Magia Crystals with 2 attributes each. However, there is a cooldown period of 14 days before you are allowed to do so again. You may reset a character's Magia distribution at any time with no cost, using a Reset button in the top-right. Magia points can be used to boost that character's attributes. Magia EXP accumulate into Magia Levels, and each Level counts as 1 point. Magia EXP is not split, so 5 Lv99 characters will gain 5 total Magia EXP for one fight, or in other words 1 EXP each.

Any Lv99 characters that participate in battle will each gain 1 Magia EXP per battle, regardless of the battle's difficulty. It's the next stage in basic leveling powercreep. Magia is expected to be added Wednesday March 20, or really whenever the next maintenance is.
