Avatar perpetuation cost

From FFXI Wiki
(Redirected from Perpetuation cost)

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 below.

(1mp/tick) is the minimum the perpetuation cost can be reduced to via equipment. Negating the cost at LV99 is not a difficult task as many pieces of Summoner's Reforged Armour and JSE Oboro weapon make this possible. The base perpetuation cost is based on the SMN job or subjob level and is not affected by item level or avatar level.

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.
