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?
