MP

From Final Fantasy XIV Online Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

MP, or magic points, are required to cast spells and use certain magical abilities. If the MP cost of a spell is greater than your remaining MP, you cannot cast that spell. MP slowly regenerates over time in and out of combat.

MP formerly varied based on Piety, much like HP does with Vitality. As of Patch 5.0 (Shadowbringers), the MP cap for all levels was changed to 10,000, and MP costs for all actions became fixed values.

All Disciples of Magic (Magic Ranged DPS role.png Magical Ranged DPS and Healer role.png Healer) have actions that require MP. Additionally, two Tank role.png Tank Jobs also have actions utilizing MP: Paladin frame icon.png Paladin and Dark Knight frame icon.png Dark Knight. For the tanks, spells are scaled on strength rather than intelligence or mind.

Consumables

Resurrection spells are very taxing on the caster's MP reserves. In addition, the KOed player is only revived wtih 20% of their maximum MP, meaning consumables can be useful to them as well.
