So, its a bit of an old system that I know most folks prolly may have never even touched, but I realised that you can (theoeretically) stack up to -13 JA ability delay, give or take, for lv 1 SP Abilities.
Combined with the -15 from mastering the job, that brings you down to only 32 min recast, which may be short enough for some events to no longer require running back to and resetting, seems good.
But looking up the only info page I could find, here:
https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Evolith
Indicates SP Ability Delay- evoliths get up to size 6 (which gives -3 delay),
however the hunts listed only reward up to size 1~3, sometimes 5, and some of the SP Abilities have 3 hunts listed while others list 2.
Im assuming this data is not finished then.
Anyone actually able to confirm they have seen size 6+ SP Ability delay evoliths, preferably have them socketed in gear they can show?
Ebur gear goes up to socket size 8 even, which is weird if evoliths dont even get that big.
Kind of makes me really wonder if there's even higher tiers for evoliths very rarely from hunts no one ever got. Could theoretically push <30 min cooldowns on SP abilities if so.
Stuff like Astral Flow, Wild Card, and Perfect dodge (for odyssey chest farming) especially would be sweet to have on a sub 30min timer.
Curious to hear what sorts of stuff other peeps have found.
