TL;DR: Spiritshot (SpS) is a consumable that adds +100% M.Atk to your next cast at no extra MP cost. It's mandatory for any nuker or magic class. Use SpS for everyday PvE farming and switch to Blessed Spiritshot (BSpS, +200% M.Atk) for PvP burst.
Overview
Spiritshot (SpS) is a consumable that boosts your M.Atk by 100% on your next cast. It's a must-have for every magic class, since it nearly doubles your spell damage. Loading SpS does not raise the MP cost of a cast, so you keep the same casting rotation while hitting far harder.
SpS vs BSpS
The two tiers cover different situations: cheap sustained damage versus maximum burst.
| Type | M.Atk bonus | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spiritshot (SpS) | +100% | Cheap | Everyday PvE farming |
| Blessed Spiritshot (BSpS) | +200% | 3-4x more expensive | PvP and max-damage situations |
Standard Spiritshot is the budget choice for daily grinding. Blessed Spiritshot is for PvP and any moment you need peak damage, but it costs 3-4x as much as SpS. Healers don't need either — healing doesn't scale with shots. Buffers such as the Prophet and Warcryer also don't consume shots when casting buffs.
Tips
| Tip | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Craft SpS via a Warsmith | Saves 30-40% compared to buying from an NPC. |
| Use SpS for PvE, BSpS for PvP | Cheap sustained farming, switch to BSpS only when burst matters. |
| Stock at least 10,000 SpS per session | Nukers burn through shots faster than fighters because they cast constantly. |
| Enable automatic shot use | Turn on auto-Spiritshot in your character settings so you never cast without a buff. |
