Description	Max Level HP/SP	Stats Bonus when Max Job Level
A Soul Ascetic is a magic damage dealer and party buffer who fights with a staff and a stock of throwable talismans. Every offensive option is a talisman or a spirit release, so the job alternates between charging its soul resource in the open field and spending it in short, heavy bursts. It is also one of the few jobs that can hand raw offensive power to a whole party, and its totem and recovery tools make it welcome in groups. Pick this job if you like a caster that is equally useful alone and in a party. Avoid it if you want a constant, resource-free damage stream.

Job Build Recommendations

Soul Ascetic splits into three profiles. This section is split by gear tier: Mid Game covers the pieces you can wear from Base Level 200 to 249, and End Game covers 250 and up, which is also where the SS and SSS tier instances open.

Mid Game

Build	Recommendations
Four Bearing God	Skills to main: Talisman Mastery Lv 10, Soul Mastery Lv 10, Soul Collect Lv 5, Soul Gathering Lv 5, Talisman of Blue Dragon Lv 5, Talisman of White Tiger Lv 5, Talisman of Red Phoenix Lv 5, Talisman of Black Tortoise Lv 5, Talisman of Four Bearing God Lv 5 Gear to refine and grade: Soul Liberator [2] and Fortified Wand [2] are the two wands below 250 that carry Talisman of Four Bearing God, and (MT) Soul Liberator [2] is the (MT) version if you already have it. Sky Rune Crown (Soul Ascetic) [1] is the head piece that carries the skill, and Crown of Good and Evil(Soul Ascetic) [1] is the combo crown that turns either wand into a five god package. Vermilion's Wing Feather [1] closes the Talisman of Red Phoenix side. Everything listed is Refineable and Gradable. Damage cards: Talisman of Four Bearing God Tuning Device, Soul Ascetic Soul(Talisman of Four Bearing God), Glacier (Talisman of Blue Dragon), Glacier (Talisman of White Tiger), Glacier (Talisman of Red Phoenix), Glacier (Talisman of Black Tortoise) and the four matching Soul Ascetic Soul(Talisman of Blue Dragon), Soul Ascetic Soul(Talisman of White Tiger), Soul Ascetic Soul(Talisman of Red Phoenix) and Soul Ascetic Soul(Talisman of Black Tortoise) Stats and traits: SPL first, since all five dragon talismans add 5 x SPL on top of the Base Level / 100 multiplier, then INT for the SP pool that Talisman of White Tiger at 118 SP and Talisman of Black Tortoise at 92 SP will drain. CON and CRT buy nothing on damage here. Enchants and shadow: Soul Ascetic Stone (Lower II) with Soul Reaper Stone(Upper) for the Blue Dragon and Red Phoenix levels, or with Soul Reaper Stone(Upper II) for White Tiger and Black Tortoise, and Soul Reaper Stone(Lower) for Talisman of Four Bearing God. On top of that the Four Bearing God Shadow Armor, Four Bearing God Shadow Shoes, Talisman of White Black Shadow Earring and Talisman of White Black Shadow Pendant set. Combos: Crown of Good and Evil(Soul Ascetic) [1] + Goodwill Spell + Soul Liberator [2] for the Talisman of Red Phoenix and Talisman of Four Bearing God levels, Crown of Good and Evil(Soul Ascetic) [1] + Soul Liberator [2] for the refine scaled version of the same pair, Good Vigor (Soul Ascetic) + Goodwill Spell and Vermilion's Wing Feather [1] + Glacier Robe [1] Consumables: Soul Talisman, the 30 zeny throwable from the Talisman Merchant that every dragon cast spends one of, Blue Potion and Speed Potion. Rotation: open with Talisman of Blue Dragon to take Blessing of the East, climb through Talisman of White Tiger and Talisman of Red Phoenix to West and South, take Talisman of Black Tortoise for North, then fire Talisman of Four Bearing God, whose hit count is one plus the number of blessings you are holding. Soul Gathering keeps the Soul Energy topped between packs. Budget: Low. Two wands and two crowns, and none of them are rare. Content: Base Level 200 to 249 field and dungeon content, below the 250 gate of the SS tier instances.
Soul Exorcism	Skills to main: Talisman Mastery Lv 10, Soul Mastery Lv 10, Soul Collect Lv 5, Soul Gathering Lv 5, Curse of Wicked Soul Lv 5, Exorcism of Malicious Soul Lv 5, Talisman of Soul Stealing Lv 5, (MT) Totem of Tutelary Lv 5, Cursed Explosion Lv 10, Soul Division Lv 5 Gear to refine and grade: Soul Harvest [2] and Furious Soul [2] are the two wands below 250 that carry Exorcism of Malicious Soul, with (MT) Soul Harvest [2] as the (MT) version. Crown of Good and Evil(Soul Ascetic) [1] is the combo crown for the pair and Furious Crown (Soul Ascetic) [1] is the second head piece that carries the skill. Furious Boots [1] closes the Furious line. Everything listed is Refineable and Gradable. Damage cards: Glacier (Exorcism of Malicious Soul), Soul Ascetic Soul(Exorcism of Malicious Soul), Ice Flower Spell(Curse Explosion), Talisman of Soul Stealing Tuning Device and Soul Ascetic Soul(Talisman of Soul Stealing) Stats and traits: SPL first, since Exorcism of Malicious Soul adds 5 x SPL and Talisman of Soul Stealing adds 3 x SPL, then INT for the SP pool. The real multiplier on this build is Soul Energy, because Exorcism of Malicious Soul scales with the energy it consumes, so Soul Gathering uptime matters more than any stat past the first two. Enchants and shadow: Soul Ascetic Stone II (Lower II) with Soul Reaper Stone II (Upper II) for the S.MATK and the Fixed Cast Time cut, plus Soul Reaper Stone II (Upper) for Exorcism of Malicious Soul and Soul Reaper Stone II (Lower) for Talisman of Soul Stealing. The shadow side is the two piece Soul Exorcism Shadow Armor and Soul Exorcism Shadow Shoes. Combos: Furious Soul [2] + Furious Boots [1] for the Exorcism of Malicious Soul level, Crown of Good and Evil(Soul Ascetic) [1] + Evil Spell + Soul Harvest [2], Crown of Good and Evil(Soul Ascetic) [1] + Soul Harvest [2] for the refine scaled Talisman of Soul Stealing and Exorcism of Malicious Soul versions, Evil Vigor (Soul Ascetic) + Evil Spell and Soul Ascetic Stone II (Lower II) + Soul Reaper Stone II (Upper II) Consumables: Soul Talisman, Blue Potion and Speed Potion. Rotation: plant Curse of Wicked Soul on the pack, then fire Exorcism of Malicious Soul into the cursed targets for the extra 100 x SkillLevel branch, follow with Talisman of Soul Stealing to refill SP off the same pack, and finish Shadow side with Cursed Explosion. (MT) Totem of Tutelary is the second way to open the Exorcism bonus, so keep it up whenever healing is not the priority. Budget: Low to medium. Two wands and two crowns, one of which you will keep using at 250. Content: Base Level 200 to 249 field and dungeon content, and the best of the three against anything that lets the curse land.
Soul Support	Skills to main: Talisman Mastery Lv 10, Soul Mastery Lv 10, Soul Collect Lv 5, Soul Gathering Lv 5, Kaina Lv 7, (MT) Talisman of Protection Lv 5, Talisman of Warrior Lv 5, Talisman of Magician Lv 5, Talisman of Five Elements Lv 5, (MT) Totem of Tutelary Lv 5, Soul of Heaven and Earth Lv 10 Gear to refine and grade: Spirit Pendulum-LT [2] paired with Heroic Token (Soul Ascetic) [1] is the cheapest real support package in the tier, since the two together hand out magic damage to all sizes and, at refine 10, damage to all elements plus more levels of both dragons. Poenitentia Ramus [2] is the second wand and the highest raw MATK below 250. Furious Crown (Soul Ascetic) [1] is the head piece. The two wands and the crown are Refineable and Gradable, the Heroic Token is not. Damage cards: Talisman of Four Bearing God Tuning Device, Soul Ascetic Soul(Talisman of Four Bearing God), Glacier (Talisman of Red Phoenix) and Iana Card Stats and traits: INT first, since the buff line runs 50 to 180 SP a cast and a support that has to sit down mid fight is worth nothing, then SPL for the damage you still contribute. VIT last, because (MT) Totem of Tutelary heals your own pool as well as the party's. Enchants and shadow: Soul Ascetic Stone (Lower II) with Soul Reaper Stone(Upper) and Soul Reaper Stone(Lower) for the four god levels the party reads, and the four piece M. Soul Ascetic Shadow Armor, M. Soul Ascetic Shadow Shoes, M. Soul Ascetic Shadow Earring and M. Soul Ascetic Shadow Pendant for the trait stats. Combos: Heroic Token (Soul Ascetic) [1] + Spirit Pendulum-LT [2] for the size and element package, Soul Ascetic Stone (Lower II) + Soul Reaper Stone(Upper) and Soul Ascetic Stone (Lower II) + Soul Reaper Stone(Lower) Consumables: Soul Talisman, White Potion and Blue Potion. Rotation: keep Kaina and Soul Collect running at all times, hold (MT) Talisman of Protection on the tank, rotate Talisman of Warrior and Talisman of Magician onto the two damage dealers, seed Talisman of Five Elements before an elemental pack, and save Soul of Heaven and Earth and (MT) Totem of Tutelary for the burst window and the recovery after it. Budget: Low. One Heroic Token and one wand carry the whole profile. Content: party instances and field content at Base Level 200 to 249, where a second buffer is worth more than a third damage dealer.

Four Bearing God	Skills to main: Talisman Mastery Lv 10, Soul Mastery Lv 10, Soul Collect Lv 5, Soul Gathering Lv 5, Talisman of Blue Dragon Lv 5, Talisman of White Tiger Lv 5, Talisman of Red Phoenix Lv 5, Talisman of Black Tortoise Lv 5, Talisman of Four Bearing God Lv 5, (MT) Circle of Directions and Elementals Lv 5 Gear to refine and grade: Dimensions Soul Stick [2] and Dimensions Soul Rod [2] are the two wands to grade: the Stick carries Talisman of Blue Dragon and Talisman of Red Phoenix and at grade A echoes a Red Phoenix out of every Blue Dragon, the Rod carries Talisman of White Tiger and Talisman of Black Tortoise and echoes a Black Tortoise out of every White Tiger. Dimensions Crown (Soul Ascetic) [1] is the crown that turns either wand into the top level of Talisman of Four Bearing God, and Frontier Crown (Soul Ascetic) [1] is the 265 head piece for the Blue Dragon and Red Phoenix side. Everything listed is Refineable and Gradable. Damage cards: Talisman of Four Bearing God Tuning Device, Soul Ascetic Soul(Talisman of Four Bearing God), Glacier (Talisman of Blue Dragon), Glacier (Talisman of White Tiger), Glacier (Talisman of Red Phoenix), Glacier (Talisman of Black Tortoise) and Iana Card, which pays out on the Four Bearing God and Red Phoenix levels again at refine 10. Stats and traits: SPL and INT, then whatever is left into WIS. Same spread as Mid Game, the sticks just carry it further. Enchants and shadow: identical to Mid Game, since the Soul Ascetic and Soul Reaper stones and the Four Bearing God with Talisman of White Black shadow set stay best in slot at this tier. Combos: Dimensions Soul Stick [2] + Dimensions Crown (Soul Ascetic) [1] for the Talisman of Four Bearing God level and the Blue Dragon into Red Phoenix link, Dimensions Soul Rod [2] + Dimensions Crown (Soul Ascetic) [1] for the White Tiger into Black Tortoise link, Good Vigor (Soul Ascetic) + Goodwill Spell and Soul Ascetic Stone (Lower II) + Soul Reaper Stone(Lower) Consumables: Soul Talisman, Blue Potion and Speed Potion. Rotation: unchanged from Mid Game, with (MT) Circle of Directions and Elementals added as the finisher once Blessing of the North is up, since it needs that blessing and then converts your four blessings into a five hit nuke with an S.MATK buff attached. At grade A the two sticks start echoing a dragon out of each other, so let the Blue Dragon land before you press Red Phoenix. Budget: High. Two graded 250 wands plus a graded crown is the biggest single jump on the job. Content: SS tier instances at Base Level 250, SSS tier at 270.
Soul Exorcism	Skills to main: Talisman Mastery Lv 10, Soul Mastery Lv 10, Soul Collect Lv 5, Soul Gathering Lv 5, Curse of Wicked Soul Lv 5, Exorcism of Malicious Soul Lv 5, Talisman of Soul Stealing Lv 5, (MT) Totem of Tutelary Lv 5, Cursed Explosion Lv 10, Soul Division Lv 5 Gear to refine and grade: Time Gap Soul Rod [2] is the wand to grade: it carries Exorcism of Malicious Soul, and with the crown it cuts both that and Soul Gathering cooldown by 300 ms at grade A. Motipher Soul Stick [2] is the second wand and the natural home for the Dimension Death cards below. Dimensions Crown (Soul Ascetic) [1] is the crown the first wand needs. Everything listed is Refineable and Gradable. Damage cards: Glacier (Exorcism of Malicious Soul), Soul Ascetic Soul(Exorcism of Malicious Soul), Ice Flower Spell(Curse Explosion), Talisman of Soul Stealing Tuning Device, Soul Ascetic Soul(Talisman of Soul Stealing) and Iana Card Stats and traits: SPL and INT, then WIS. Exorcism of Malicious Soul and Talisman of Soul Stealing keep their 5 x SPL and 3 x SPL terms, so nothing changes from Mid Game except the size of the numbers. Enchants and shadow: identical to Mid Game, since the Soul Ascetic Stone II with Soul Reaper Stone II line and the Soul Exorcism shadow pair carry over unchanged. Combos: Time Gap Soul Rod [2] + Dimensions Crown (Soul Ascetic) [1] for the Exorcism of Malicious Soul level and the two cooldown cuts, Motipher Soul Stick [2] + Dimension Death South Card + Dimension Death North Card for the free Talisman of Protection, Talisman of Warrior and Talisman of Five Elements casts, Evil Vigor (Soul Ascetic) + Evil Spell and Soul Ascetic Stone II (Lower II) + Soul Reaper Stone II (Upper II) Consumables: Soul Talisman, Blue Potion and Speed Potion. Rotation: unchanged from Mid Game. The 300 ms cooldown cut on Soul Gathering is the real gain, because it lets you refill between Exorcism of Malicious Soul casts instead of after them. Budget: High. The Time Gap Soul Rod is the single most expensive piece here and it is the one that carries the profile. Content: SS and SSS tier bossing, where a single cursed target is the whole fight.
Soul Support	Skills to main: Talisman Mastery Lv 10, Soul Mastery Lv 10, Soul Collect Lv 5, Soul Gathering Lv 5, Kaina Lv 7, (MT) Talisman of Protection Lv 5, Talisman of Warrior Lv 5, Talisman of Magician Lv 5, Talisman of Five Elements Lv 5, (MT) Totem of Tutelary Lv 5, Soul of Heaven and Earth Lv 10 Gear to refine and grade: Motipher Soul Stick [2] is the support wand of the tier, because with the Dimension Death cards it starts casting Talisman of Warrior, (MT) Talisman of Protection and Talisman of Five Elements for free, which is exactly what the party is asking you for. Frontier Soul Staff [3] is the second weapon and the only three slot staff on the job, so it is where the tuning devices go. Frontier Crown (Soul Ascetic) [1] is the head piece for the 265 tier. Everything listed is Refineable and Gradable. Damage cards: Dimension Death South Card, Dimension Death North Card, Talisman of Four Bearing God Tuning Device, Soul Ascetic Soul(Talisman of Four Bearing God) and Iana Card Stats and traits: INT first for the 180 SP buff line, then SPL, then VIT. Same reasoning as Mid Game, the pool is just bigger and the casts are more frequent. Enchants and shadow: identical to Mid Game, with Soul Ascetic Stone II (Lower II) + Soul Reaper Stone II (Upper II) available as the S.MATK swap once you stop needing the four god levels. Combos: Motipher Soul Stick [2] + Dimension Death South Card + Dimension Death North Card at refine 12 and grade A, which is what turns the wand into a free talisman engine, Motipher Soul Stick [2] + Dimension Death North Card alone for the Talisman of Magician version and Good Vigor (Soul Ascetic) + Goodwill Spell Consumables: Soul Talisman, Siege White Potion Box for the party instances and Blue Potion. Rotation: unchanged from Mid Game, except that the South and North cards now cover Talisman of Warrior, (MT) Talisman of Protection and Talisman of Five Elements on their own, so your casts are free to stay on Soul of Heaven and Earth and (MT) Totem of Tutelary. Budget: High. One 265 wand, one 265 staff and a 265 crown. Content: SS tier instances at Base Level 250, SSS tier at 270, as the second support in a full party.
