View source for Spell Recast

Recast reduction caps at 80% (or {{math|times}}0.2) of the original casting time.

:

The following four terms are multiplied to give the experienced recast:

* Initial Recast - This is listed on the page of most spells.
* [[Attack Speed|Magical and Equipment forms of Haste]] and [[Slow (Status)|Magic Slow]] - a specific bitwise function of xx/1024.
* [[Fast Cast]] - Likely a simple percentage multiplier.
** [[Fast Cast]] has an effective cap of 80%, meaning that 40% reduction (or {{math|times}}0.6) is the best that it can do for recast.
** [[Fast Cast]] gear must remain equipped to reduce recast, which means you have to choose between getting the Fast Cast benefits during precast versus keeping it on for recast reduction in a potency/accuracy midcast set.
* [[:Category:Job Ability|Job Abilities]] that specifically affect recast, like [[Composure]], [[Hasso]], and the [[Scholar]] abilities - It is unclear how they are stored, likely a simple percentage multiplier.
===Formula===
Recast = (Initial Recast) {{math|times}} (1 - (Haste{{math|divide}}1024) + (Slow{{math|divide}}1024)) {{math|times}} (1 - Floor(Fast Cast% {{math|divide}} 2)) {{math|times}} (Job Ability Modifier 1) {{math|times}} (Job Ability Modifier 2) {{math|times}} ...
=== Known Job Ability Terms ===
* [[Scholar]] [[Job Ability]] Term is the sum of:
** [[Light Arts]]/[[Dark Arts]] (-10%)
*** [[Scholar's Loafers|Scholar's]]/[[Acad. Loafers +3|Academic's Loafers]] (-5~12%)
*** [[Argute M.board|Argute]]/[[Peda. M.Board +3|Pedagogy Mortarboard]] (-5~13%)
** [[Celerity]]/[[Alacrity]] (-40%)
*** Nullifies gear bonuses to [[Light Arts|Light]]/[[Dark Arts]], but the base value still applies
*** [[Argute Loafers|Argute]]/[[Peda. Loafers +3|Pedagogy Loafers]] (-10~18%) while under the appropriate weather effect
**** When the weather condition is met, this allows the entirety of the bonus from [[Celerity]]/[[Alacrity]] to surpass the 80% cap on recast reduction, up to a new maximum of 90%.
* [[Red Mage]] [[Job Ability]] Term
