- One of the most significant changes that happened with the Renewal update was Cast Time. It is now split into Fixed and Variable Cast Time.
- The Fixed Cast Time part is not affected by Stats, and can only be reduced by special means (e.g. Arch Bishop's Sacrament or Temporal DEX Boots).
- Not all skills have a Fixed Cast Time, but the addition of Fixed Cast Time disallows skills like Acid Demonstration and Asura Strike to be cast instantly.

- Variable Cast time can be completely eliminated if (DEX x 2 + INT) = 530.
