Of course, as has always bee the case, you &lt;br&gt;have to be killing mobs that provide the tier of materia that&lt;br&gt;your songs/skills are using, regardless of whether you specify&lt;br&gt;the exact materia or let the song/skill auto-select it for you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is one song that is an exception: rebirth. It has a &lt;br&gt;dynamic materia cost which makes calculating an auto-selected&lt;br&gt;materia a bit more difficult code-wise. I'll try to look into&lt;br&gt;that, but in full disclosure, there are only two materia that&lt;br&gt;give it a boost anyhow: roagmo and efantig (efantig being a&lt;br&gt;stronger boost). So just set your alias to explicitly use one &lt;br&gt;of the two and forget about it. :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On a final note, all Shaman songs/skills that were affected by&lt;br&gt;this change have been converted to a new skill system known as&lt;br&gt;&quot;gen_skill&quot;. All &quot;modern&quot; skills use this system, and we have&lt;br&gt;been slowly moving &quot;legacy&quot; skills into the new paradigm for,&lt;br&gt;well...a decade or two. Anyhow, I mention this because while&lt;br&gt;in theory this shouldn't cange the skill's behavior from the&lt;br&gt;standpoint of the player using it, in practice it sometimes &lt;br&gt;does. Namely, it can alter the range of the &quot;roll&quot; (think of&lt;br&gt;dice) of the skill level whenever the skill is used (in &lt;br&gt;comparison to what used to &quot;roll&quot; with the old system. So &lt;br&gt;after converting these Shaman songs/skills, don't be surprised &lt;br&gt;if things seem either underpowered or overpowered at first. &lt;br&gt;It might take a bit of playtime for me to smooth out the rough &lt;br&gt;edges.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers,&lt;br&gt;Marisil&lt;br&gt; ```&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
