Stoneskin (ストンスキン, Sutonsukin?) is a recurring status enhancement in Final Fantasy series. It is a barrier that nullifies a certain amount of damage received.
Galvanize is a status enhancement that is exclusive to Final Fantasy XIV that acts like Stoneskin and is applied via Adloquium and Succor.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy XI[]
Stoneskin effectively gives the player a set amount of extra health. The amount of health in the pool can only be changed by wearing certain rare armor while casting the white magic Stoneskin. Blue Mages can also obtain spells which give Stoneskin, though the amount is significantly less. A Scholar utilizing the correct Strategem can provide Area of Effect Stoneskin for their party.
Final Fantasy XIV Legacy[]
Stoneskin absorbed damage equal to 10% of max HP. Stoneskin II applied to all party members in range.
Graniteskin job trait boosted the amount to 18%.
Final Fantasy XIV[]
There are multiple versions of the Stoneskin status available. The default version of Stoneskin absorbs damage equal to 10% of max HP, this version is usable by most instanced guest party members and specific enemies. Ultros has a stronger version available when fought in the Savage version of the Sigmascape V3.0 raid, which absorbs a large amount of damage that is often unbreakable unless the raid has sufficient DPS.
Until the release of the Stormblood expansion, players had access to Stoneskin, which absorbed damage totaling up to 10% of the target's maximum HP. This status could only be provided by the spells Stoneskin and Stoneskin II. In addition, before the release of the Heavensward expansion, White Mages had access to an exclusive upgrade to the status known as Graniteskin, which absorbed damage totaling up to 18% of the target's maximum HP. Both statuses have been removed from player access with the current versions. Despite Stoneskin being removed from player access, each healer has access to a unique shield status.
