| <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Traits" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Fixed Cast Time</span></h3>
| | |@spellbook |
| <p style="font-size: 1.2em;">▶ Fixed cast time is in a more complicated side when taken in account than VCT, being totally unaffected by stats. The formula for FCT is as follows:</p>
| | | - |
| <pre style="font-size: 1.2em;">Final FCT = ( Skill FCT - [ Sum of Flat FCT Mods] ) × ( 1 - [ Max of Percentage FCT Decrease ] + [ Max of Percentage FCT Increase ] )
| | |Shows Reading Spell Book info (for mages only) |
| </pre>
| | |- |
| <p style="font-size: 1.2em;">▶ Fixed cast time can only be reduced by buffs from a skill, an item consumable and from equipments.<br></p>
| |
| <pre style="font-size: 1.2em;">Percentage based reductions do not stack here, only the strongest one is applied.
| |
| </pre>
| |
| <p style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Percentage based reduction effects do not stack no matter the source</b>. If a player is under multiple FCT percentage reduction effects, only the highest value will take effect.<br>
| |
| <b><span style="color:Brown;">Highest Percentage will overwrite and hinder the lower ones useless</span></b>.
| |
| </p><p><br></p>
| |
| <ul>
| |
| <li style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Example (1):</b> Having <b>Radius</b> at level 3 reduces your fixed cast time by 20% (Warlock Skill), but your Archbishop friend casts <b>Lv5 Sacrament</b> on you, which reduces your fixed cast time by 50%. Since only the strongest one applies, your fixed cast time will be reduced only by 50% and will overwrite the 20% from Radius.<br></li>
| |
| </ul>
| |
| <dl><dd style="font-size: 1.2em;">However, fixed (flat) reduction does stack with percentage reduction, and also with itself. This makes it possible to reduce fixed cast time to zero.</dd></dl>
| |
| <ul>
| |
| <li style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Example (2):</b> A player has a headgear compounded with a Fenrir Card equipped and then has <b>Lv5 Sacrament</b> cast upon them. As Sacrament's bonus of 50% is less than Fenrir's 70%, Sacrament does nothing, and the player's FCT reduction remains at 70%.</li>
| |
| <li style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Example (3):</b> A player has two Buwaya Agimat Tattoos equipped. Their FCT would be reduced by 7%, not 14%, as it does not stack (but they would get MATK +14% as expected).</li>
| |
| <li style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Example (4):</b> A player has one Buwaya Agimat Tattoo equipped and is under the effect of <b>Lv5 Sacrament</b>. As Sacrament's bonus of 50% reduction is the larger bonus compared to Buwaya's 7%, the player has their FCT reduced by 50%.</li>
| |
| </ul>
| |
| <p style="font-size: 1.2em;"><br>▶ However, flat reductions like:<br></p>
| |
| <pre style="font-size: 1.2em;">Temporal DEX Boots (0.5s FCT reduction) and Ceremonial Crown GC (0.2s FCT reduction) = 0.7 FCT reduction

| <dl><dd style="font-size: 1.2em;">or</dd></dl>
| |
| <pre style="font-size: 1.2em;">Automatic Leg B-type (0.8s FCT reduction) and Brilliant Light Sapphire Ring + Brilliant Light Sapphire Necklace (0.2s FCT reduction) = 1.0s FCT reduction
| |
| </pre>
| |
| <dl><dd style="font-size: 1.2em;">or</dd></dl>
| |
| <pre style="font-size: 1.2em;">Magic Essence Lv. 5 (0.5s FCT reduction) and Casting Onyx [G] (0.5s FCT reduction) = 1.0s FCT reduction

| |
| <dl><dd style="font-size: 1.2em;">or</dd></dl>
| |
| <pre style="font-size: 1.2em;">Illusion Morpheus Hood (0.5s FCT reduction) and Illusion Thorn Staff of Darkness (Total/Sum Refine is 22 or higher) = 0.5 FCT reduction
| |
| </pre>
| |
| <dl><dd style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Do stack</b> with other flat reduction effects. Stacking flat reductions is the only possible way of removing a skill's fixed cast time because there exists no single source of 100% FCT reduction. The only exception are the Oboro / Kagerou classes, who have the skill <b>16th Night</b> which removes fixed cast time entirely.</dd></dl>

| <p style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>[Fun Facts]:</b></p>
| |
| <ul>
| |
| <li style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Soul Expansion</b>: This skill doesn't have any FCT (you could ditch FCT gears and wear damage gears for more damage on this build).</li>
| |
| <li style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Energy Coat</b>: This skill only has FCT and it's the highest FCT requisite among Warlock skills (<b>a big whopping 5.0 secs of FCT</b>).</li>
| |
| <li style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Mystical Amplification</b>: This skill now has an un-reducible amount of fixed cast time (impossible to instant-cast by any means).</li>
