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 or Vermillion Cloak 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.
