Apple of Idun is a Bard song that toughens nearby party members.
Overview
Apple of Idun raises the maximum HP of party members in the song's area and improves the healing they receive. It is a core survivability song for sustained fights. Like all songs it drains SP each second, slows the Bard's movement, and fades shortly after the party leaves the area or the Bard changes maps.
Mechanics
- Maximum HP bonus = (5 + 4 × SkillLv)%
- Healing received bonus = (2 × SkillLv)%
- Area of effect: 7×7 around the performer
- The song plays for up to 3 minutes; the buff lingers for 1 minute after an ally leaves the area.
- Drains 1 SP per second while performing.
Leveling
| Level | Max HP bonus | Healing received | SP cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9% | 2% | 40 |
| 2 | 13% | 4% | 45 |
| 3 | 17% | 6% | 50 |
| 4 | 21% | 8% | 55 |
| 5 | 25% | 10% | 60 |
Catalysts and requirements
- A Musical Instrument or a Whip must be equipped.
Notes
- The song no longer restores HP directly; it raises maximum HP and boosts incoming healing instead.
- Performing a song lowers the Bard's movement speed; Performance Discipline reduces this penalty.
- The song is removed when the Bard changes maps.
