1. What is STP in FFXI?

STP (Store TP) is a statistic in Final Fantasy XI that increases the rate at which a character gains Tactical Points (TP) with each weapon swing. It is calculated by adding together STP from equipment and STP from job traits.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple STP equation:

Where:

• \( Gear\ STP \) — Store TP percentage from equipped gear
• \( Traits \) — Store TP percentage from job traits and abilities

Explanation: The equation simply adds together all sources of Store TP to determine your total Store TP percentage.

3. Importance of STP Calculation

Details: Calculating your total STP is crucial for optimizing weapon skill frequency, managing TP gain strategies, and maximizing damage output in battles.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total STP from gear and your STP from traits separately. Both values should be percentages (e.g., 25.5 for 25.5%).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the maximum STP achievable?
A: There is no hard cap, but practical limits exist based on available gear and job traits.

Q2: How does STP affect TP gain?
A: Each point of STP increases TP gain per hit by 1%. For example, 25 STP means you gain 25% more TP per weapon swing.

Q3: Which jobs have STP traits?
A: Several jobs have Store TP traits, including Samurai, Warrior, and Monk, among others.

Q4: Does STP stack additively or multiplicatively?
A: STP from all sources stacks additively, making calculation straightforward.

Q5: How important is STP for different jobs?
A: STP is particularly important for jobs that rely on frequent weapon skills, such as Samurai and Dragoon.
