Translations (JP to English)

From the translation, yeah, it seems he just calculated the 7 MP/tick, Wich should not be the case. You would need to calculate the whole healing effect.

Edit: I edited my post with real numbers.

if you tripple meld manathirst to 5 pieces of gear for a total of +500mp thats +35mp/tic from manathirst materia alone which means 294 per fire/35 per tic = 8.4 tics x3 seconds per tic = one free fire spell every 25 seconds on average.

That's 10+ extra Fire casts during a 5 minute battle (AV/CC boss fights?)

i remember there being a cap for hp gained from materia, 280 i think. Is there no cap for MP gained from materia.

also you example involves removing all materia that would add damage, so im not sure if casting extra spells is better then heavy damage spells, its certainly not faster.

Manathirst could be used on Body (only other Mage stat that goes there is PIE or HP) and on Waist (only thing good there is Enmity down, really, and the usefulness of that is questionable).

they are fixing enmity down to be really good though. It will be pretty easy to get a 5% reduction in enmity on belt alone.

anyway, not sure why you quoted me because i was asking if there is an MP cap that can be gained via materia (a solid number).
