Icon spell barstone.png Barspells are Enhancing Spells that increase Magic Evasion against specific elements or statuses. The resistance increased will depend on the spell, and they can typically be divided into two categories based on the kind of resistance they increase:

  • Bar-element Spells : These increase Magic Evasion against a specific element.
  • Bar-status Spells : These increase Magic Evasion against a specific status effect.

Only one spell from each category can be active at once. Status effects also often have an element, so pairing a Barspell of the appropriate element with the Barspell for the status effect you are trying to avoid will increase your Magic Evasion against that status even further. If you increase it enough, you should consistently Resist it. For instance:

Paralysis is Ice-based. Barparalyzra and Barblizzara will both decrease the odds of it landing, and using both will have the maximum effect. Because one is Bar-status and the other is Bar-element, you can use both at the same time.

In addition to the two divisions above, the spells can be further divided into single target (Red Mage and Rune Fencer native) and AoE (White Mage native) versions. Despite White Mage possessing superior equipment options to enhance Barspells, single target Barspells will always overwrite AoE version regardless of potency. Apart from the targeting and potential enhancements, there is almost nothing different about these spells.

Merit Points


A word of caution: Barspells will overwrite themselves, therefore if you have a full power White Mage use the spell then replace it with your Red Mage version, you are losing out on at least +86 Elemental Resistance, +15-29 Magic Defense Bonus and 8-10% damage nullification (which is exclusive to the job).
