The Avatar Perpetuation Cost is how many MP per tick (approx. 3 seconds) that it costs a Summoner to keep an Avatar out. This cost varies depending on the level of the Summoner and which avatar/spirit is being summoned, as seen on the chart. There are some items, listed below, that will reduce avatar perpetuation cost.


Perpetuation Costs by Level

Alexander and Odin can only be cast during Astral Flow and remain active for only a few seconds and therefore have no perpetuation cost.

Notes[]

  • With perpetuation cost set to 0 via equipment, the maximum MP gain a Summoner can have is the sum of their Refresh-1. If the amounts are the same, Refresh equipment is superior to -perpetuation equipment since -perpetuation caps out at 0.
  • The Auto Refresh I trait, which a summoner receives at level 25, can be used to bring down the cost of perpetuation, but regardless of how much -perpetuation gear is equipped will not allow you to gain MP while an avatar is out.
  • The Auto Refresh II trait, which a summoner receives at level 90, will allow you to gain 1 mp/tick provided you have other -perpetuation equipment equipped that will zero out the perpetuation cost.
  • Avatar's Favor reduces the perpetuation cost of avatars by 2, the value increases to 3 once the Summoner hit level 81, and 4 when 91.
  • The perpetuation cost reduction from the Carbuncle Mitts, Caller's Bracers +1 and Caller's Bracers +2 is rounded downVerification Needed to the nearest integer.
    • The effect of Carbuncle Mitts is calculated prior to other gear with Avatar Perpetuation Cost down. (Base Perpetuation/2) - Avatar Perpetuation gear
    • The effect of Caller's Bracers +1 and Caller's Bracers +2 is calculated after other gear with Avatar Perpetuation Cost down. (Base Perpetuation - Avatar perpetuation gear)/2.
  • Summoner's Doublet's perpetuation cost is applied AFTER Caller's Bracers
  • The Elemental Staves and Y's Scythe also increases the perpetuation cost (proportionately) of the avatar/spirit weak against the element of the weapon.
  • Astral Flow sets the perpetuation cost to zero while it is in effect.
  • Avatar Perpetuation cap with gear/refresh is 15, any refresh beyond the 15 cap added will replenish mp.
