Nourishing Nuts raise a character’s maximum HP, making them more durable in battle.

They are especially useful for casters and thieves who have low defenses, as the extra HP helps them stay active longer and maintain their presence on the battlefield.

Invigorating Nut

Spellcasters naturally have high SP, so Invigorating Nuts offer less impact on them.

Physical attackers, however, often rely on SP-consuming skills while starting with a much lower SP stat, making these nuts far more valuable when given to frontline physical units.

Fortifying Nut

Fortifying Nuts boost physical attack, strengthening characters who rely on weapon damage.

Physical attackers benefit the most, while unique jobs with offensive capabilities also make good use of this nut to amplify their damage potential.

Tough Nut

Tough Nuts improve physical defense, helping characters withstand stronger physical blows.

This is best used on characters with low Defense jobs so they can stay in battle longer.

Magic Nuts increase elemental attack, enhancing the damage of characters who focus on spellcasting.

Pure casters rely on this nut to maximize their offensive potential, while hybrid magic roles use it to strengthen their elemental skills.

Resistant Nut

Resistant Nuts raise elemental defense, reducing damage taken from magical attacks.

This is recommended for frontline offense characters whose jobs have high Physical Defense but low Elemental defense.

Sharp Nut

Sharp Nuts boost accuracy, helping physical attackers land their hits more consistently.

This is best used for characters who shine on using multi-hit attacks, making sure every single blow hit!

Slippery Nuts enhance evasion, making characters harder to hit.

Agile roles such as thieves, hunters, and dancers gain extra survivability through their natural mobility, and this nut strengthens that advantage even further.

Critical Nuts increase critical hit rate, improving the likelihood of high-damage strikes.

Multi hit attackers like Thieves and Hunters can benefit greatly from this, as well as heavy damage dealers like Warriors.

Light Nut

Light Nuts raise speed, allowing characters to act sooner or more frequently in battle.

Support roles make strong use of this nut, as faster actions translate into earlier buffs, quicker healing, and better turn efficiency.
