Merit Point cost and caps

Does anyone have a page detailing the cost (in merit points) of each upgrade level and the max number of modifications for each option in the different categories? Thanks in advance.

I must've missed something; what exactly are merit points and how are they obtained? I've heard reference of them before but don't know anything about it.

Okay it's simple math but when you think about how much it costs to be fully upgraded that's a lot of time and effort.

HP/MP is a total of 25 merits or 250,000xp
Stats is 27 merits or 270,000xp
Combat Skill can be a total of 21 merits or 210,000xp
Magic Skills is 15 merits or 150,000xp
Other is a total of 12 or 120,000xp
Job Specific is another 15 or 150,000xp

That's 1,150,000xp to cap out all merits and this is of course after you've taken a job to 75. If you could get great parties getting 10k xp an hour that's be 115 of xp time. Nearly 5 full days of playtime. Just kinda boggles the mind to think about what it takes to cap out merits.

Merit Points are an alternate advancement system that characters can switch on once they reach level 75. For a large amount of experience (as noted above) a character can choose which of a handful of bonuses to raise. It's basically a way for level 75 people to do something when they get experience, without actually raising the levels.

There are two decent overviews of Merit Points here and here. They'll be added to the Links page on the next update.

Are you restricted to 5 job upgrades total, or 5 upgrades per job? For example, a character with 75WHM and 75BLM. Can they upgrade only 5 times between WHM/BLM total, or 5 times in each job category.

It's 5 per job. ^^
