I was reading through FFXIclopedia about merits and came to this part:
Cancelling Spent Merit Points
* A player may wish to undo an upgrade he/she has already made in order to spend points in the same category on different upgrades.
* When a player cancels an upgrade, he/she does not get the spent merit points back.
* To cancel a merit, a player must access the merit point menu, select the category he/she want to upgrade, and select Lower. There will be a series of confirmation messages.
In particular the first bullet. It says you can undo a spent merit to reuse it in the same catagory. How do you do this?
I'm asking because the other day I had 8 merits saved up. 1 merit into marksmanship, 2 merits into katana. So I lowered my 1 merit in marksmanship to 0 and I thought I'd put that one into archery but, it wouldnt let me.
Is that statement made in FFXIclopedia misleading? I always thought once you spend a merit, its gone for good, which is what the 2nd bullet point says. The reason why I lowered my marksmanship was because I thought I could put that 1 merit into something else of the same catagory as the first bullet point says.
Anyone know?
edit: after re-reading that first bullet point over a couple times. I think its just worded a little awkwardly. I think it means that if you're already maxed out for that catagory, you can lower your spent points to make room for other upgrades.
o well. carry on....

i think the first time i read it i skimmed it (with a bit of wishful thinking as well) and was like 'oh great! ima remove that unwanted marksmanship merit and give it to archery!' else i would have just kept that marksmanship merit until i reach 12/12 combat skill merits.
