The reason why I was wondering if BLMs could boost piety with leveling is because I had the impression piety wasn't a primary stat, since I remember needing to meld piety as a BLM in HW. IIRC the stats you could spend your 30/35 points on were STR/DEX/INT/MND/VIT, but I need to find a source on it again.

You used to be able to meld main stats in HW. As tanks, we used to meld Strength on our Vit accessories, or Vit onto Strength accessories, as they both contributed to out damage output.

Yes, but I'm referring to the old attribute point system. You got 30 points you could spend in something from 1-50, and a further 5? from 51-60. And I think only primary stats could be raised, which Piety was not one. The system was actually awful because every class just put it into STR/DEX/INT/MND and SMN/SCG had to constantly respec if they swapped between the 2 jobs because of the nature of those stats back then. But I'm just trying to remember if piety could be spent on it or not, and I think the answer was no because piety was not a primary stat.

Yes, Piety used to be a main stat, just like Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Mind and Intelligence and you could add your level up points to it.
