In the June version update of Final Fantasy XI, the merit point system, a staple of powering up your job once you've reached level 75, will be seeing several updates to various categories. Various categories, such as Combat Skills and HP/MP, will be seeing an increase in the number of points that can be spent. In addition, a new category, Maximum Merit Points, will be added, allowing for an increase in the number of merit points that can be held at any one time, up to a total of 15 extra.
