Salve-Maker Best Abilities
Recommended Abilities
| Ability (Learning Level) |
Reason for Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Feel No Pain (Lv 14) |
For the first two turns of battle, HP will not decrease even if damage is received. However, at the end of the second turn, all accumulated damage will be taken simultaneously, and this damage cannot be reduced. |
| Inoculate (Lv 5) |
A useful ability that allows you to nullify status ailments for a certain number of turns by using a curative item in advance. It's particularly effective when you know what status ailment the enemy's attack will inflict. |
| Widen Area (Lv 8) |
Item effects can be made to target an entire group. This allows for a variety of uses depending on the situation, such as not only healing all allies at once but also hitting all enemies simultaneously with offensive items. |
| Auto Phoenix (Lv 11) |
If you have a Phoenix Down in stock, this ability will automatically revive a fallen ally. It's particularly helpful in prolonged fights because it allows you to restore your allies without expending an action. |
Compounding Can Achieve a Variety of Effects
The Salve-Maker's primary ability is Compounding, available at Level 1. This ability allows you to combine two items to produce powerful effects that can significantly change the tide of battle, such as instantly increasing physical attack power or doubling maximum HP. However, Compounding requires a large supply of items. Therefore, it's essential to prepare in advance, for example, by developing the Compound Shop in Norende Village so you can consistently buy items as needed.
How to Play the Salve-Maker
Item Doctor
The Salve-Maker is a job that utilizes various items to support allies. Though their stats are somewhat low, they can greatly enhance party stability by maximizing the benefits of recovery and buffing items. They excel with staves and daggers, and if you set White Magic as a job command, their high Mind stat allows them to also serve as a healer.
Healing Lore is a powerful support ability that doubles the effects of recovery items and healing magic. If you plan to use the Salve-Maker as a healer, it's highly recommended to equip this ability, especially since, when combined with their Healing Lore specialty, their recovery output can rival that of a White Mage.
Give Enemies Weakness Through Compounding
The Salve-Maker excels as a specialist in long-term battles, drawing strength from their versatile item usage and powerful compounds to support the entire party and ensure stability. This job is capable of inflicting debuffs through Compounding, assisting allies' attacks, and even healing themselves using Healing Lore. As long as you're prepared with the necessary items, you'll be able to play stably in any situation.
A particularly effective strategy involves using compounds that inflict elemental weaknesses (such as Fire Bane) on enemies that don't inherently possess a weakness. This allows you to then follow up with Black Magic or Sword Magic attacks to deal massive damage all at once.
