Notes

• Upon activation, a certain amount of the player's current HP (12-17%) is deducted and the Wyvern's HP is restored. The Wyvern also gains a Regen effect similar to when a Beastmaster uses Pet Food.
  • Restores ( Player HP Lost + MND + α )×2 HP to the Wyvern
    • "α" = Wyvern Level × 0.7
  • The percentage of HP deducted from the player is constant, even if the Wyvern can't be healed for the full amount.
  • Spirit Link may not be activated unless the Wyvern has less than 100% HP or Empathy is merited.
  • Regen Potency = Player level/3 per tick. 90 sec duration. So 33/tick at level 99 for 990 total HP recovered.
• Spirit Link removes all applicable DoT effects such as Burn, Poison, Requiem, Dia, Bio, and Doom all at once regardless of how many you have active. If you have Dragoon Empyrean hand armor, such as Peltast's Vambraces +2 equipped, it will additionally remove 2 effects that are able to be removed by Erase as well as Blind, Silence, Paralysis, Curse, Petrification, and Amnesia.

• If the player has Stoneskin, the HP from Stoneskin is deducted first. The rest of the HP is then deducted from the player's current HP.
  • Stoneskin wears off if it can not cover the whole HP required.
• Transfers half of the Wyvern's TP to its master.
  • The corresponding Armets do not increase TP transfer.

• With merits in Empathy, Spirit Link may be used to transfer buffs and EXP (200XP per merit level) to the Wyvern.
  • The wyvern caps levels after 1,000 EXP.
    • For example 4/5 empathy will level the wyvern up four times in one Spirit Link.
  • Everytime the wyvern levels up it will receive a 4% attack and defense boost and the Dragoon will receive 2% Job Ability Haste.
    • Attack and defense boost cap at 20%
    • Haste caps at 10% after 5 wyvern levels.
      • If the wyvern is defeated/dismissed, the Dragoon zones, or enters or starts any instance then these buffs are removed from the Dragoon.
