Avatar's Favor Potency

• The bonus is dependent on two factors: The time since the last Favor reset, and Summoning Magic skill.
  • Determining the time that Favor has been active is based upon the lowest time of the following three conditions:
  • 1) Activing Avatar's Favor
  • 2) Summoning an Avatar
  • 3) Blood Pact: Rage
• Summoning Magic affects the potency of favors.
  • One example is for a level 75 Summoner there is a +1 Refresh potency with Diabolos's Favor when surpassing 317 Summoning Magic Skill.
  • Summoning magic skill used to break tiers of Favor must be constantly worn. With the above example, if you obtain a +4 MP refresh with Diabolos, and then switch into 316 summoning skill, it will reduce the potency down to +3, until you replace your gear to have 317+ skill.
  • As of 11/10/09, no testing has shown additional potency increases beyond 317 skill.
  • See Talk page for more information.
