How to progress and a guide by Lv range

If I find high-Quality Equipment, do I have to redo its Limit Break?

If the name and Grade match, you can use Limit Broken Equipment to transfer its upgrades. With “High-Quality Transfer,” you can also transfer +99 to a high-Quality item. The Equipment used as material will be consumed.

If I use Limit Broken Equipment as material, how much will the level increase?

“Item’s + value + material’s + value + 1.” For example, if the item is +1 and the material is +9, the result is +11. The maximum is +99.

If I switch to a high-Quality item, will the Fusion effects disappear?

With the current Limit Break and High-Quality Transfer features, Fusion effects are also carried over. If this exceeds the maximum number you can have, you choose which effects to keep. Normal random Modifiers will come from the item kept as the base.

Is it better for Fusion material to have higher Quality?

For Fusion effects with a proc rate, the materials' Quality and Rarity determine the proc rate. The Quality of the Equipment you receive does not affect it.

Can Reforge apply the same random Modifier multiple times?

Two-handed weapons can have the same Modifier applied up to 2 times. On all other equipment slots, the same Modifier cannot appear more than once.

Does Speed only affect normal attacks?

It affects how quickly you act. It also affects effects that trigger when you act, such as granting a Shield, so it is useful for more than just attacking.

Why am I losing HP while I still have Shield remaining?

Normally, Shield absorbs up to 65% of damage. Effects can increase this to a maximum of 100%, but any damage not covered by your Shield is dealt to your HP. Poison and Burn bypass Shield.

Does increasing Physical ATK make Shield Bash stronger?

Shield Bash calculates damage using Physical DEF. It appears as a random Modifier on Subs and Runes, and activates when your Shield absorbs damage.

If my Evasion is 100%, will I always dodge?

The normal Evasion check calculates “Evasion − (opponent's Accuracy − 100)” and uses the result within a range of 0–100%. It does not first round the displayed Evasion down to 100%. With 100% Evasion against an opponent with 130 Accuracy, the chance is 70%; with 230% Evasion against an opponent with 230 Accuracy, it is 100%. Effects such as Offensive/Defensive Stance that disable Evasion, and attacks that always hit, are handled differently.

How can I reduce Wear?

It decreases by 0.5 after each of your actions. Weapon Block increases it, so reviewing your Speed, DEF, and Shield to reduce how often it triggers is another way to manage it. Effects that reduce harmful stacks cannot remove it.

Can I defend against Poison and Burn?

“Prayer of Purification” and Equipment effects such as “Molting” can help. Their conditions and the amount they reduce differ, so check their descriptions and combine them as needed.

Why can low-Quality Equipment drop in Paradox?

In Paradox, the maximum Quality increases with Runs, but the minimum remains at 50%. You are not guaranteed high-Quality drops every time, even after many Runs.

My Equipment isn't showing up as a material for Limit Break.

The material must have the same name and grade as the base item. Also, materials that are locked or equipped will not appear as options. Make sure you have not confused the base item with the material, and check whether the material is locked or equipped. Equipment used as material will be consumed.

Can I ever fail to land a Critical hit with a Critical rate of 100% or higher?

Yes. In the normal Critical check, the attacker's rate is capped at 100% before the opponent's Critical resistance is subtracted. Against an opponent with 50% resistance, the chance used for this check is 50% whether your displayed rate is 100% or 150%. This is different from individual effects that guarantee a Critical hit.

Does “Leap” activate when Evasion is 0 due to Offensive/Defensive Stance?

The normal Evasion rate and the check for the unique property “Leap” are separate. When you are attacked, Leap is checked using the probability stated for that property. However, Leap cannot dodge attacks that always hit. Leap is not disabled just because normal Evasion is 0 due to Offensive/Defensive Stance.

Are learned Skills and Job bonuses added again to the stats shown on Home?

No. Your current stats on Home already reflect bonuses from Equipment, learned Skills, your current Job, and other sources. If you change your Job or weapon, you need to recalculate your stats with the new conditions. Simply multiplying your current stats by the new Job's multiplier will not give you the correct values after the change.
