    Ambrosia - Subtle Blow?

    Has anyone done a test to see if Ambrosia gives subtle blow? It's been proven to have store tp and seems to give a bonus of 7 to everything.. if nobody knows I intend to test next time I get one soloing in sky(just would be nice if anyone knows already so I don't waste one.. that'd make it a damn good NIN solo food).

    Better question would be does it give Macc MAB or MDB.

    =/ didn't seem too unreasonable to me, considering it would easily be overlooked when mapping the stats of a food and it's more or less the opposite of store tp. I suppose I just have to test myself, bah.

    I believe the food was added after storetp and before subtle blow was implemented. So unless they ninja'd it on, the answer is probably no.

    Its from Sky so its a Zilart food, and SAM was a Zilart job. Did they not have Store TP then? I know that Subtle Blow was added later on but thought SAM had Store TP from day 1.

    Subtle Blow was actually a Zilart thing though, but it wasn't called Subtle Blow. It was on MNK AF2 and was phrased as "Reduces TP gained by enemies" or some such. It wasn't until CoP I believe? that it was changed to an actual stat. So the idea was there before the actual stat was listed, much like Magic Accuracy and Elemental Staves. There's no real reason Subtle Blow shouldn't be on Ambrosia.

    As I said, they added Ambrosia after StoreTP (which was added with samurai) and before Subtle Blow (which was added around May 2004). I believe the Sky God system, including all abjurations, was implemented in Dec 2003 along with the lv75 cap and the rise in craftskill cap from 90-100.

    AF2 was added in very early 2004 along with Dynamis--after abjurations were added, I'm pretty sure.
