 Now unfortunately to say but our Spirits won't benefit at all from Race%, Size%, Element%, and Protocol% reductions. So everything that you will work on your tank gears are focused on improving '''MaxHP%''', '''Max DEF''', '''Max MDef''', and '''Max FLEE Rate'''.
-Another defensive layer you can incorporate or use is the skill '''{{#skill:5381}}''', which turns your High Elementals transparent making them untargetable. As we've previously stated, this skill is good to have when you have enough points to expend; otherwise you can skip this skill since AoE skills will still damage them. When you're too cheap and would want to save your elemental catalysts, there's also '''{{#skill:2464}}''' that heals your Elementals and High Elementals alike by taking out 10% of your HP/SP. Now, when you use this skill you might want to swap back to your tank gears by then. This is simply because you have fewer HP with your DPS gears for sure and your Spirits have higher MaxHP% than you do. Healing them with Elemental Cure while having low amount of HP will also only heal them by small amounts, whereas if you switch to your tank gears you have more MaxHP%. The only problem with this is once you've switched to your tank gears, your HP won't be full so to solve that problem bring with you some  {{#icon:607}}{{#linkitem:607|Yggdrasil Berry}}or {{#icon:608}}{{#linkitem:608|Yggdrasil Seed}} to restore your HP/SP. One other way to heal your spirits passively is by placing them into '''Waiting Mode''' using '''{{#skill:2456}}'''. Remember they are passively recovering 2% HP/SP while in this mode for every 3 seconds.

 Both the Elementals and High Elementals follow the same equations in calculating their individual stats. Now the question if High Elementals have their own set of equations the answer is nobody knows but the Gravity developers. Information regarding the 4th job spirits is few and so for the meantime while we lack accurate info we'll be following the one above earlier. I could only imagine it being better for the High Elementals if they did have their own equations. As you can see, the formula didn't include the 4th jobs traits such as STA, WIS, RES, & MRES, so if in a turn of events it did somehow included those traits then our High Elementals are supposedly should be tankier than Elementals. Fret not though, because even with those traits your High Elementals are still durable. With the proper set of tank gears, my High Elementals could survive even the hardest hitting skills of MVPs such as Juncea's '''{{#skill:83}}''', Schulang's''' {{#skill:85}}''', Lasgand's '''{{#skill:91}} Heaven's Drive''', Sakray's '''{{#skill:2216}}''', Sorcerer Celia's '''{{#skill:2449}}''', Rune Knight Seyren's '''{{#skill:2006}}''', Temple Biosphere mobs' '''{{#skill:254}}''', the https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/254.png '''Dark Grand Crosses''' of the Depth Valkyries as well as https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/653.png '''NPC Earthquakes''' from Depth Salamanders—both from Depth Abyss 2. The only thing it can't survive so far is Betelgeuse's '''{{#skill:2217}}''' though they can survive Tiara's, Warlock Katrinn's, and Fenrir's Tetra Vortex.

 The free '''Paradise Shadow Gears''' {{#item:24687|Paradise Shadow Weapon}}, {{#item:24688|Paradise Shadow Shield}}, {{#item:24689|Paradise Shadow Armor}}, {{#item:24690|Paradise Shadow Shoes}}, {{#item:24691|Paradise Shadow Earring}}, and {{#item:24692|Paradise Shadow Pendant}} are still going to be useful and you can continue using them 'til Part III of the early game stage. As you continue your progress, you are also expected to gradually work on the Shadow Gears listed in this [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Shadow_Gears_2|section]] as you collect resources to craft them.
+'''Newbie tip''': Use <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span> in any of her forms and place her on '''Passive Mode''' using '''Level 1 {{#skill:2456}}''' in order to get easy access to 1 secondfixed cast time (FCT) reduction. The missing 0.5 second FCT can be supplied by your +9 {{#icon:470021}}{{#linkitem:470021|Grace Magic Boots}}. This will temporarily and partially solve any casting issues you may have until you get ahold of the proper gears and equipment. You will need a total of 1.5 seconds FCT and 100% VCT to instant cast your core skills.
