1. What is Store TP?

Store TP is a stat in Final Fantasy XI that increases the amount of TP gained per hit. It's crucial for melee jobs to reach 100% TP faster and perform weapon skills more frequently.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Store TP formula:

Where:

• \( Base\ TP\ Gain \) — The base TP gained from a hit (typically 5.0-6.5 for most weapons)
• \( Store\ TP\ Bonus \) — Your total Store TP percentage from gear, traits, and merits

Explanation: The formula calculates how much TP you'll actually gain per hit after accounting for your Store TP bonuses.

3. Importance of Store TP

Details: Optimizing Store TP helps determine how many hits are needed to reach 100% TP, which is critical for weapon skill frequency and melee damage output.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your weapon's base TP gain (varies by weapon type and delay) and your total Store TP percentage from all sources.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good Store TP value to aim for?
A: This depends on your job and weapon delay, but many builds aim for 25-50% Store TP to reach 100% TP in 4-5 hits.

Q2: How does this interact with multi-hit weapons?
A: Store TP applies to each individual hit, making it especially valuable for multi-hit weapons.

Q3: What's the maximum Store TP possible?
A: There's no hard cap, but practical limits exist based on available gear and trait combinations.

Q4: Does Store TP affect weapon skill damage?
A: No, it only affects TP gain. Weapon skill damage is determined by other factors.

Q5: How does this compare to other TP gain modifiers?
A: Store TP is multiplicative with base TP gain, while other modifiers like "Dual Wield" or "Martial Arts" affect attack speed.
