Category:Merit Weapon Skill

Much in the fashion of WSNMs that required the player to unlock weapon skills via quests, to be able to use Merit Weapon Skills requires the player to undergo a quest (Martial Mastery) before being able to use them. Unlike WSNMs, a player may only have three fully upgraded Merit weapon skills.

Weapon skill use is restricted to specific jobs and the player must have a skill of 357 or higher with the respective weapon in order to place merits in a weapon skill. Twenty merit points are required to unlock a Merit weapon skill, and further upgrades require 22, 24, 27, and 30 merits successively. Each upgrade increases the damage output of the weapon skill by boosting the stat modifier for the weapon skill by 3%. 15 total upgrades are possible within the category (e.g. three fully upgraded weapon skills).
