Avatar Perpetuation Cost
From HorizonXI Wiki
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.

Notes
- Avatar perpetuation has a minimum value of 1, no matter how much -perputation gear is equipped. Once you have hit this value, Auto Refresh will cancel out the remaining cost.
- For example, in terms of MP gain, the Karura Hachigane will have no effect if the avatar perpetuation is already at 1.
- Gear which grants Refresh such as the Yinyang Robe, Vermillion Cloak or Caller's Horn +1 can grant refresh with avatars out providing -perpetuation gear equipped plus Auto Refresh zero out the perpetuation cost.
- The perpetuation cost reduction from the Carbuncle Mitts is rounded down
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
- 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.
