— In-game description

Cure is an action unlocked at level 2. It is available for Conjurer / White Mage.

  • Freecure (Lv. 32) - Grants a 15% chance that after casting Cure, the MP cost for your next Cure II will be 0.
  • Enhanced Healing Magic (Lv. 85) - Increases the healing potency of Cure to 500, Medica to 400, Cure II to 800, Regen to 250, Cure III to 600, Medica II to 250, Medica II's Regen effect to 150, Afflatus Solace to 800, and Afflatus Rapture to 400.

Notes

Gameplay

  • Cure becomes obsolete if Cure II is available for use, due to the higher healing efficiency of Cure II. The only scenario where Cure become viable is if white mages have little MP left, typically being less than 1,500 MP.
    • The MP cost of Cure II is irrelevant if white mages do not run out of MP before all enemies are defeated, as MP is a resource to be used. Lucid Dreaming is also able to regenerate a large portion of MP while in combat, helping to mitigate the MP cost of Cure II. Furthermore, the low proc-rate of Freecure makes the trait unreliable, making it never worth "fishing" for Freecure procs.
  • At higher levels, this action is entirely useless due to the abundance of instant cast and MP-free heals available for white mage. For more information, see this section in the healer guide.
