Boost Spells

I'm pretty sure Boost spells cap at +24 on Lightsday, +23 all other days.

With LightArts and capped merits, this set gives me 482 Enhancing Skill (485 Lightsday):

Zenith Crown has +7 Enhancing augment.

Improvements I could make include:
R/Ex Hyksos Robe (+2)
Zenith Crown +1 (+1)
Aptus Earring (+2)
Olympus Sash (+2)

With these improvements, Enhancing would be at 489. Is there anything else available to hit 490?

Olympus Sash?

It drops off the Taurassic Park HKCNM.

Reading the OP, it sounds like a tier is between 482 and 485. Do you think there would be another tier as soon as 490 for some reason?

You gain +1 for every additional 10 Enhancing Skill over 300 skill. On Lightsday, the Colossus's Torque would bring the Enhancing total to 492.

You're counting Zenith Crown +1 as +8 Enhancing magic?

Kirin's Pole with Genbu's Scrap can get Enhancing Magic on it. Current cap limit is listed as 12, but I don't know how rigorously it has been tested. If it is actually 13, then you could also use Fulcio Grip to get 16.

Is there a different forumla for this after 500, (or a possible cap of 25?). After hitting what I thought was a new tier at 510, I'm still at +25.

It appears the cap is 25. I'm uncapped with 510 right now. If I get over 25, I'll post something once I cap.

Trying to cap my Boosts but I am missing sea cape/HQ body/Zenith Crown +1. But my Enhancing with Light Arts/capped merits/other gear/+2 cleric's pantaloons is 462. Even if I got sea cape/HQ body/Zenith, that would only add 25 Enhancing. How are ppl getting to 510? Can you post revised gear set? Thankies!

I looked I can only see (404 /SCH) + 92 (gear) = 496

Oh, I suppose the Zenith (+7) makes: 503 --- 519 with Merits.

The item set posted at the top is exactly what I have.

I could get a total of 10 more skill from gear. (I have 7 on head where I could have 8, could get +2 from earring, another +2 from sash, +2 from Anhur, and +3 from af2+2 which I'll have at the end of the week)

Anyways yeah, as /sch I'm 510.

Figured I'd bump this instead of making a new topic. Is there a way I'm missing to get to 500 without sch sub? The most I can figure (with Merits) is 499 -_-

This is my set now, it puts me at 493
Head has +7, it could have +8. Missing 5 from earrings. Can aptus get up to 3?

According to FFXIwiki, it can't; max is +2 skill. Looks like we can't get 500 without /sch at the moment, unless I'm missing something. I don't think there's a ring/shield with enhancing skill

Yeah, that's what I thought, but someone told me that someone said somewhere that it could get augmented up to 3, though it'd be nice to have some real comfirmation on that before i drive myself nuts trying to get it :p

That was posted in my sch guide, maybe someone on quetz could ask for confirmation.
