[[TP Multiplier]] ('''ƒTP''') is a multiplier of your [[Base Damage]] when performing [[Weapon Skill| weapon skill]]s and [[Blue Mage#Magic|physical blue magic]], or when [[Jug Pets|Beastmaster Pets]], [[Avatar|Summoner's Avatars]], and [[Automaton|Puppetmaster's Automatons]] use their various TP abilities.<br />
As the name implies, this is the function that relates your TP to a multiplier of the damage you would do. It should be noted that not all WSs have changing ƒTP, and some may have other things that depend on TP (like [[Critical Hit Rate]]). As far as we know, you can use the same Linear Interpolation outlined below to determine the effects of different TPs on those weaponskills as well.

== Calculating ƒTP ==
The value of TP multiplier grows linearly between 2 anchor points at 1000 - 2000 and 2000 - 3000 for WS, 0 - 1500 and 1500 - 3000 on physical blue magic. This value can be calculated using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation Linear Interpolation].

Linear Interpolation Formula:
:PreviousAnchor is 1000 for TP between 1000 and 2000, 2000 for TP between 2000 and 3000
:NextAnchor is 2000 for TP between 1000 and 2000, 3000 for TP between 2000 and 3000
:dTP = diffence in TP between current TP and the previous anchor, ie 100 if TP is 1100, 500 if 1500, 100 if 2100... etc.
:'''Equation: ƒTP(PreviousAnchor) + dTP * (ƒTP(NextAnchor) - ƒTP(PreviousAnchor))'''

'''Examples:'''
:The [[Weapon Skill|WS]] [[Calamity]] has the following ƒTP anchor values:
::ƒTP(1000) = 1.00 = f100
::ƒTP(2000) = 1.50 = f200
::ƒTP(3000) = 4.00 = f300
:ƒTP(1500)
::f100 + 0.5 * (f200 - f100)
::1.00 + 0.5 * (1.50 - 1.00)
::1.00 + 0.5 * 0.5
::1.00 + 0.25
::1.25
:ƒTP(2500)
::f200 + 0.5 * (f300 - f200)
::1.50 + 0.5 * (4.00 - 1.50)
::1.50 + 0.5 * 2.5
::1.50 + 1.25
::2.75

:Note that the slope of the ƒTP function for most WS does not change at 200%, so for those WS the formula can be simplified.

== Additional Attacks ==
For 1H and 2H Melee [[:Category:Weapon Skills|Weapons Skills]] Hits after the first (be it from [[Double Attack|double attack]], [[Triple Attack|triple attack]] or [[Weapon Skill|WSs]] that naturally hit more than once), all have an ƒTP of 1.0. Furthermore, only the first hit's ƒTP is increased in "Damage varies with TP" Weaponskills.

For certain Weapon Skills and most [[Blue Mage#Magic|physical blue magics]], the first hit's [[:Category:FTP Replicating WS|ƒTP is mirrored by all future hits]] (this includes the boost to ƒTP from [[:Category:Elemental Gorgets|Elemental Gorgets]] [[:Category:Elemental Belts|and Belts]]). The weapon skills and pet abilities that follow this rule have it noted on their pages and are a part of [[:Category:FTP Replicating WS]].
