<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">Alternatively, Variable Cast Time can also be reduced using gear, equipment, or pets with specific VCT reduction bonuses. These reductions are <strong>stackable</strong> up to 100%, which results in an <strong>instant cast</strong> (equivalent to 530 stat points).</p>

</div>

'''<p style="font-size: 1.5em;">Example:</p>

'''<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">If a player has <strong>160 INT</strong> and <strong>160 DEX</strong> and wears gear that reduces VCT by <strong>90%</strong>, the calculation would be:</p>

</div>

     <li><strong>Stat Reduction</strong> = 1 - √([160 × 2 + 160] ÷ 530) ≈ 0.048</li>

     <li><strong>Final VCT</strong> = 10s × 0.048 × (1 - 0.90) = 0.048s</li>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">This reduction can be checked using the <strong>@Battlestats</strong> or <strong>@BS</strong> command, which provides details on the total VCT reductions from stats, skills, and equipment.</p>

</div>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">You can also check it on equipment stats at <strong> ALT+Q (lower right) </strong> </p>

<ul style="font-size: 1.3em;">Important Notes:</ul>

     <li>You can achieve <strong>0 VCT</strong> using stats alone or via percentage reductions, but not by combining both methods due to the way the formula works.</li>

     <li>Some effects, like '''{{#skill:2599}}'''Fairy Soul''' , stack with VCT reductions, while others, like '''{{#skill:67}}''' and '''{{#skill:321}}''', do not.</li> (The Reason being is because they're part of the skill based vct reductions category, which is multiplicative from general vct reductions)

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;"><strong>Final Tip:</strong><br>For efficient VCT reduction, it's recommended to balance <strong>DEX</strong> and <strong>INT</strong> to minimize skill point expenditure and reach <strong>0 VCT</strong> as efficiently as possible.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Traits" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Fixed Cast Time ⌛️</span></h3>

<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>

<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.

<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>.

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;"><u><b>Example</u> (1):</b> Having '''{{#skill:2208}}''' at level 3 reduces your fixed cast time by 20% (Warlock Skill), but your Archbishop friend casts '''{{#skill:2515}}''' 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 '''{{#skill:2208}}'''.<br></li>

<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>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;"><u><b>Example</u> (2):</b> A player has a headgear compounded with a {{#item:4556}} equipped and then has '''{{#skill:2515}}''' 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;"><u><b>Example</u> (3):</b> A player has two {{#item:2907}} 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;"><u><b>Example</u> (4):</b> A player has one {{#item:2907}} equipped and is under the effect of '''{{#skill:2515}}'''. 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>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;"><br>▶ However, flat reductions like:<br></p>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">{{#item:22008}} (0.5s FCT reduction) and {{#item:400054}} (0.2s FCT reduction) =<u> 0.7 FCT reduction</li></u>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">{{#item:470023}} (0.8s FCT reduction) and {{#item:490064}} + {{#item:490065}} (0.2s FCT reduction) =<u> 1.0s FCT reduction</li></u>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">{{#item:29075}} (0.5s FCT reduction) and {{#item:25067}} (0.5s FCT reduction) =<u> 1.0s FCT reduction</li></u>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">{{#item:19428}} (0.5s FCT reduction) and {{#item:550030}} (Total/Sum Refine is 22 or higher) =<u> 0.5s FCT reduction</li></u>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">{{#item:400111}} (0.5s FCT reduction) and {{#item:470204}} (1.0s FCT reduction) =<u> 1.5s FCT reduction</li></u>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;"><u><b>Do stack</b></u> 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 '''{{#skill:3022}}''' which removes fixed cast time entirely.</p>

</div>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">'''{{#skill:2202}}''': 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;">'''{{#skill:157}}''': 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;">'''{{#skill:366}}''': This skill now has an un-reducible amount of fixed cast time (impossible to instant-cast by any means).</li>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Traits" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Cast Delay ⏳</span></h3>

</div>

   <p><b>Cast Delay</b> refers to the time after using a skill during which you cannot use the same or other skills. This mechanic was relatively obscure in Pre-Renewal but became more significant in Renewal. Cast Delay is now divided into two distinct types:</p>

</div>

   <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

<ul>

     <li><b>Cast Delay:</b> Prevents all skills from being cast. Some skills, such as {{#skill:89}}, have longer Cast Delays, while others, like {{#skill:14}}, have shorter ones. Cast Delay can be reduced by specific equipment, such as the {{#item:2703}}, {{#item:4403}}, or through a Bard's '''{{#skill:321}}''' skill.</li>

     <li><b>Cooldown:</b> Prevents the specific skill from being used again until the cooldown period ends.</li>

   <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

<h4>Types of Delays</h4>

     <li><b>After Cast Delay:</b> The period during which all skills are temporarily unavailable after casting a skill.</li>

     <li><b>Skill Delay:</b> A delay specific to the skill itself, preventing its immediate reuse.</li>

     <li><b>Animation Delay:</b> The visual animation time that affects the ability to chain skills.</li>

   <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

<p>The ability to spam a skill is limited by the highest of these factors. For example:</p>

     <li>If the <b>After Cast Delay</b> of a skill that has no <b>Skill Delay</b> is reduced to a value smaller than its <b>Animation Delay</b>, increasing ASPD (Attack Speed) or using Animation Delay Cancel will allow you to reuse the skill more frequently.</li>

     <li>Some skills lose their Animation Delay entirely when <b>Instant Cast</b> (265 DEX or 100% Cast Time Reduction) is achieved. Examples include '''{{#skill:89}}''' and '''{{#skill:83}}'''.</li>

     <li>However, skills like '''{{#skill:84}}''' are oddly more effective when cast with 264 DEX instead of 265, due to better animation timing. The same behavior is observed with '''{{#skill:2214}}''' from the Warlock skill tree.</li>
