  2. 2Disable the lowest-value optional reservation first.
  3. 3Add Spirit from gear only if the remaining package is worth the item tradeoff.

Why this template starts broken

This preset is intentionally overreserved. It is meant to show the problem clearly so the fix is easier to reason about.

Open it in the planner, remove one reservation at a time, then compare whether a gear Spirit upgrade would be a cleaner solution.

What a clean fix looks like

A clean fix brings remaining Spirit back to zero or above while keeping the effect that matters most to the build.

If the fix requires replacing several strong gear pieces, the reservation package may be too ambitious for the current character.

Patch Review Note

Use this as a debugging preset, not a recommended build. The correct fix depends on your real reservations and gear.

FAQ

Why would a template intentionally be overreserved?

It gives you a clear troubleshooting example. The goal is to practice deciding what to cut or upgrade.

Should I copy this setup directly?

No. Use it as a troubleshooting exercise, then rebuild the package around your actual character.
