Nasomi Community FFXI Server :: Black Mage Merits - what works, what doesn't

Group 1 and 2 are each 10 points in both groups for every job, for a total of 20 per job. BLM potency and AM2 merits all work. Example: 5/5 in Thunder and Ice potency and 5/5 in Burst 2 and Freeze 2 will cap you for BLM-specific merits.

You can get 10/10 in both HP and MP. You can upgrade all magic and combat skills to 8/8. Others is 10 points total with a cap of 5 in whatever you want if memory serves. Example: 5/5 critical rate, 5/5 spell interrupt down, will cap you for Others category.

Attributes you can get +10 in everything, but to do so you need to put 5 points into Maximum Merits. Don't worry if your max cap doesn't visibly change; when you pass 10 merits it will simply read 11/10, 12/10, etc. up to a cap of 15/10. Past that you will lose any merits earned. The tenth point of each attribute costs 15 merits. Do not invest any further than that as you will lose the merits entirely.

Anything else?

So to summarize the posts below, All group 1 and 2 merits for BLM seem to work. The distribution of merit points works like this: Job-specific: Group 1: Max combo 10, max per item 5 (i. e. 5/5 ice potency, 5/5 thunder potency) Group 2: Max combo 10, max per item 5 (i. e. 5/5 freeze II, 4/5 burst II, 1/5 tornado ii) General: HP/MP: 10/10 for both, HP and MP Attributes: +10 in everything possible, to do so you need 5 points in maximum merits. Combat/Magic skills: 8/8 in everything Others: Max combo 10, max per item 5 (i. e. 5/5 crit, 5/5 enmity -) Big shout out to everyone who helped to gather these information. Thank you! Earlier post: I've been hearing stories about some BLM merits working, some not. Now I'm wondering what's true and what isn't. Would like to create list here. Can anyone share some insight? EDIT: Does anyone know the actual limits for each category here on Nasomi? Is it like... Group 1: Max Combo 10, Max per item 5 Group 2: Max Combo 6, Max per item 3 HP/MP: Max Combo 8, Max per item 8 Attributes: Max Combo 5, Max per item 5 Magic Skills: Max Combo 16, Max per item 8 Others: Max Combo 8, Max per item 4 Or is it any different?

Thank you all for the quick replies! Special thanks to Epyon who answered in such detail. I summarized all of it in the first post, so you don't need to read the whole thread in order to find the information you are looking for.
