Automatically casts Float in battle.
Description
Auto-Float is a support ability in Final Fantasy IX that every permanent party member can learn. It bestows them with automatic Float status while in battle for the cost of 6 Magic Stones.
Obtained[]
Auto-Float is learned from the Venetia Shield and the Feather Boots for variable amounts of AP, though most party members only require 20 AP.
Feather Boots is synthesized in Daguerreo, Lindblum and Treno (after returning from the Outer Continent), and Alexandria. It is found in the Abandoned Lagoon chocograph treasure, stolen from Tiamat, and won in the Treno Auction House after the party returns from Outer Continent; only sold if player has none in their inventory.
Venetia Shield is an armlet for Freya and Steiner, first found in Desert Palace and later sold in certain shops.
Mechanics[]
The wearer has automatic Float whenever they are alive in combat. Auto-Float cannot be dispelled. The abilities that miss Floating targets are Earthquake and Earth Shake. Float does not make one weak to Wind.
Use[]
Auto-Float is nigh useless, as its only purpose is to immunize against Earth Shake and Earthquake. The player could equip it for Zidane and Quina in their battle against the Earth Guardian, though this is not needed.
