|Intro Text=
Upon attaining Level 75, players should visit the [[Nomad Moogle]] in [[Ru'Lude Gardens]] next to [[Maat]] to receive {{KI}} [[Limit breaker]], allowing them to accumulate '''Limit Points''' in place of Experience Points. For every 10,000 Limit Points, 1 '''Merit Point''' will be awarded to augment the player's stats and abilities. These points will automatically accrue at 75 but the key item is required to assign them. A new Merit Point option under [[Main Menu|Status in the Main Menu]] will display to track and assign these points.

Assigned Merit Points semi-permanently—in that they can be undone, if desired—enhance a player through increasing skills, adding job-specific abilities and traits, unlocking new [[Weapon Skill]]s, or raising attributes such as [[STR]] and [[Critical Hit]] rate.
 
Additionally, they can be exchanged to participate in [[High-Tier Mission Battlefields]] or deposited with [[Emporox]] to purchase various items and equipment.
}}
== Using Merit Points to enhance your Character ==
*Inside the [[Mog House]] (or [[Rent-a-Room]]), a player is able to spend and cancel merit points by accessing the merit point menu.
*In this menu, all the categories available for upgrade are highlighted. Only skills available on the current 75 job can be accessed (e.g., you can't raise your Great Katana skill for your Samurai while browsing the menu as a Corsair).
*Different Merit Points are divided into categories and have different costs and category maximums, as is laid out in the table below.

There are 5 general Merit Point categories that apply to all jobs, then one category for each job that only has an effect when you are on that job, and one category specifically for meritable [[Weapon Skills]].

The 5 general categories are fairly straightforward, but the job specific categories often adjust things about the individual job (like [[Warcry]] recast).

The Weapon Skill Merit Point category has a base potential of 15 upgradable levels. To unlock this category you must talk to the Nomad Moogle next to [[Maat]] and complete [[Martial Mastery]]. It can be expanded to 25 total levels by obtaining the {{KI}} [[Primer on Martial Techniques]] and {{KI}} [[Treatise on Martial Techniques]] with [[Deeds of Heroism]]. Each Key Item expands the category by 5 additional levels.

== General Merit Points ==
* '''HP/MP (Also includes a "Merit Points" category)''' : Increases HP or MP by 10 per merit level. Increases maximum possible merit points by 1 per merit level.
* '''Attributes''' : Increases any [[Base Stat]] of your choice by +1 per merit level.
* '''Combat Skills''' : Increases any physical skill by +2 Skill per merit level.
** This applies to both offensive (like [[Dagger]]) and defensive (like [[Parrying]]) skills.
* '''Magic Skills''' : Increases any magical skill by +2 Skill per merit level.
* '''Other''' : As you might expect, this is the most heterogeneous "general" category.
** [[Enmity]] Increase/Decrease : Increases or Decreases your Enmity by ±1 per merit level.
** [[Critical Hit Rate]] : Increases your Critical Hit Rate by +1% per merit level.
** [[Enemy Critical Hit Rate]] : Decreases the enemy's critical hit rate by -1% per merit level.
** [[Spell Interruption Rate]] : Decreases your interruption rate by -2% per merit level.

General Merit Points are also available when you are on jobs below level 75, though the number of merits available is restricted. The below table shows how many merit levels are available at each job level. So if you were a level 99 [[Samurai]] with 12 [[STR]] merits and you changed to a level 75 [[Warrior]], you would only have +10 [[STR]] from merits.

== Job Specific Merit Points ==
Job Specific merit points are divided into two categories (Group 1 and Group 2). Group 1 typically contains adjustments to the job, like decreasing timers or increasing potencies of job abilities/magic. Tier 2 typically contains [[:Category:Job Traits|Job Traits]], [[:Category:Job Ability|Job Abilities]], and [[:Category:Spells|Spells]] that can be activated through merits and enhanced with further merits. None of these merits are available below level 75 (for instance, if you level sync).

== Weapon Skill Merit Points ==
At level 96 and beyond, [[:Category:Merit Weapon Skill|powerful Weapon Skills]] can be unlocked through merit points. An initial 20 points opens the skill, but it will take 123 points (20 > 22 > 24 > 27 > 30) to fully power it up.

The Weapon Skill Merit Point category has a base potential of 15 upgradable levels. It can be expanded to 25 total levels by obtaining the {{KI}} [[Primer on Martial Techniques]] and {{KI}} [[Treatise on Martial Techniques]] with [[Deeds of Heroism]]. Each Key Item expands the category by 5 additional levels.
