Chakura

[GakiYarou]

trhe monk ability chakura-- how good is it in this game-- i mean from what i have read it says that it only restores a little hp-- how much is a little (like less then 50% of max hp?) also how often can you do the ability? its not the monks 2hour ability is it? thanks for the info in advance

Chakra restores about 70 or so HP, and it can be used once every fifteen minutes. However, Chakra also recovers certain status effects such as blind at the same time, and this is what makes it such a nice ability since it gives the White Mage less work when they are fighting monsters that use blind a lot.

Chakra restores about 1/10 of your max HP and some minor status effects...

for me, at lv53 (Max HP=1107), it recovers between 105-110 HP.

It's EXTREMELY useful for emergencies and counts as a heal cast (so it may draw enemy fire and/or attract monsters with magic hatred)...sometimes though, if our PT is doing well, I'll use it to save the mages' MP.

wow that actually sounds kinda lame only 1/10 they should have made it like the chakra in FFT which almost restores all of your HP, ahh oh well

Kinda an old topic, but i'll post anyway.

Chakra heals exactly 2xVIT. so, if you have the extra inventory room, set yourself up a nice macro like this...

(my syntax may be off, i'm not near the game to check)
/equip L.Hand "Amber Ring"
/equip R.Hand "Amber Ring"
/wait 1
/ja Chakra <me>
/equip L.Hand "Whatever ring you use"
/equip R.Hand "Whatever ring you use"

That will squeeze out the few extra points of healing. There are obviously other items that boost VIT more, use them if you have them. Just don't change your h2h or you lose your TP. About 10% is right though, at 1013hp I Chakra for 118HP (~12%).

Chakra heals Poison and Blind for sure, probably others. It does not heal Slow, Weakness, Sickness, Curse, or Gravity. There are probably others that it doesn't heal as well, i haven't tried it on all statuses.

Wow...this is REALLY old, but anyways...

yeah Chakura is VITx2 (VITx3 with AF body) you learn a lot in 5 months
Cures only poison and blindness, nothing else (Weakness, Sickness, Curse, Heavy, Dia, Acc down, Stat down, HP down, MP down, etc...)

oh wow... that's what that AF armor stat means! That makes that armor a lot cooler. Of course, i won't get it in the next two weeks, so it'll have to wait for the next time around.
