Steps:
1. Step outside with no buffs except Ionis up. Use Spirit Link with 5/5 Empathy merits to level up my wyvern and then use /checkparam to see how much attack and defense I had. My numbers were 1084 Attack and 654 Defense.
2. Went back to my MH, did not change anything except to add 15 total JP into the "Wyvern Attr. Increase Effect" category, putting it at 5/10.
3. Went back outside to Ceizak Battlegrounds. Used Spirit Link again to level up my wyvern, and then used /checkparam to review my new attack and defense. My numbers were 1105 Attack and 654 Defense.
4. Determined that the category is bugged; while it raises Attack as anticipated, it does not raise defense despite the category description. Gear was not changed during this time, nor was subjob. Food was not active, and no buffs other than Ionis were active, and that did not change.
