Go Go Mithra Evasion!!!



Hello everyone... just thought I'd stop by and say, "Boo!"

Yeah, no need to spread panic over a red mage nerf, that's crazy.

It's much better to nerf them quietly, when they least expect it

I think I'll go with Blue Mage, if I do level any of the new jobs. I'd only do it on the off-chance that Blue Mage would make a useful sub-job for my other mage jobs... sort of doubt it, but you never know ;) Problem is, there isn't a Blue Mage in Final Fantasy Tactics... what will I ever do with my...

There's bound to be some newcomers for the XBox 360 release. Maybe it would be a good time to recruit some fresh faces

I wouldn't want to rely on a single RDM/WHM for all my curing needs. Refresh takes time, someone could die in the time they're Refreshing themselves. Not to mention Refresh and Haste are 40mp which is a lot to a RDM, throwing around Cures constantly will drains their MP and Convert is a 10min timer...

Not to mention Curaga III/IV, Cure V, stronger Bar***ga spells, Regen II/III, Protectra IV and Shellra IV. Not stronger, but whole party. Our Bar spells strength doesn't mater, they are self only. Against many prey the Bar-ga spells alone are worth having a WHM for. It matters when you go rdm/whm a...

Refresh II will be nice if they do add it but if they do they'd better have a Mage's Ballad III otherwise the Bard's will bitch and moan. Screw the BRDs! They're already wanted over us currently, Refresh II will give us the edge in a mage heavy party :P Yes, but red mages are the automatic choice f...

When I leveled summoner, I did not get an invite unless there were no white mages or red mages my level seeking... or at least the party had one of those "make me main heal and I'm out of here" red mages. Unless I agreed to be the main healer, I'd never get a party. But, while it irked me ...

At a break I tell him that I can heal fine on my own and that I would appreciate it if he would Summon and backup heal as needed. He threw a huge temper tantrum and quit. Wait... you're telling me you met a summoner who would rather heal than use their avatars? :shock: It... doesn't... make any sen...

And that is why from now on I'm gonna be a "PLD Meat Shield only" WHM. Too many bad Ninjas out there thanks to PLing. To be honest, most ninja don't want white mage healers anyway, once you get past level 48. Red mages only :( They'll beg for a raise if they die, mind you. But that's abou...

I'm looking for advice for me, someone who has strokes when being the main healer, but wants to level SMN from 37 to 75. Are there any other options for summoners before 70? I hear your pain. Having taken white mage as my first high level job, I wasn't so thrilled with leveling another job the exac...

The last time I did it for a person, took me 2 hours to get that damn skull to drop.....I....hate.....skeletons.... I was helping someone get their skull in Gusgen, and after 2 hours of fighting Ghouls without a drop, I attacked a Bogy instead and got a Bloody Robe the first try. Then I helped the ...

Actually... I have a bit of experience with being a high level white mage and summoner myself :D And I'm in the 60s with black mage and red mage... so I've seen a few things. My belief is that red mages should be willing to take more of a healing role in a party that doesn't have a white mage in it,...

As a Blm, I went all out. ... First off, snag a Reraiser or reraise earring or whatever. Perhaps both for good measure. 3k gil for a reraiser? { Yes, please. } Cheap insurance policy that saved our entire run. Reraise earrings aren't too terribly expensive, but they save you hours of starting from ...

The good news is, unless you're planning to use the elemental spirits, there's no reason to level up summoning skill. The only thing summoning magic skill affects on avatars is the spell interuption rate. That's it. It doesn't affect how much damage avatars can do or how accurate avatars are... noth...

The idea I've heard, which kind of makes sense, is to take your gil and buy up Ancient Currency (that is, the money that drops from Dynamis and Limbus). Ancient Currency doesn't seem to lose its value. Its cost in gil only goes up when the rest of the prices spiral upwards. And when you're ready to ...

Cutting trees in Yhoater Jungle is not bad for a white mage. Once you Teleport-Yhoat, there are two "logging trails" you can follow going to the northeast or northwest. So, I'd follow one trail, Teleport-Yhoat, then follow the other trail, Teleport-Yhoat, and repeat. If you're still on the...

I've seen that happen in the Dunes on Alexander a long time ago. People didn't realize that it was a sound-aggro ranger, so when people would go in close to see the commotion thinking they'd be safe as though it were a goblin, they'd suddenly find themselves shot to death. Even powerlevelers ended u...

I finally reached 75!

After 2 years of playing too...

And it was with quite a bang... I started off at level 73 at the beginning of the evening last night. Those monk parties are great

Yes, I didn't mean to give the impression that the Vermillion Cloak was a must-have. Austere gear, at least the coat and hat, is worth getting, and it's a fraction of the cost of a v. cloak. Even if you have a v. cloak, I think austere is better to wear when you use all the other avatars aside from ...

For the levels between 51 and 62, it's true that if you have carby mitts and a light staff, carby is free... but you don't refresh any mp while carby is summoned. Using an Apollo's staff (a high quality light staff) instead of a light staff at these levels won't make a difference either because a su...

Oh, Santa Claws! I've been such a good little kitty this year! (Except for the time this kitten lost her mittens, not my fault :oops: ) But I have been good, just ask all those new players I helped out. I even sponsored a little orphaned Taru child this year. I’ve even been nice to my moogle who ha...

I am happy for this change, makes the MPK'ers job a lot more difficult, but i wonder what would happen if someone trained a gobbie train near a zone and used Warp before zoneing. Loophole? Why are you looking for loopholes? :| Anyway, from what I can tell, if a monster loses all hate (because every...

I tried this with MNK MNK WHM combo and we got to 4th skele and death. It was mainly cos we DID have a PLD tank but she fell asleep on the computer before we got there and have to use our guild, who was a MNK /whm as a substitute. Ah well...it wasn't my orb ...just was a pain in the @$$ to get to f...

Tsybil wrote:And Garliage Citidel, formerly known as "The Train Station", might actually be PLEASNT now.

You're right.

The last few times I was there to level, higher level characters kept making trains on purpose to mpk and inconvenience whoever they could. It was pretty out-of-control.

I agree about the vermy cloak. Its only redeeming quality is refresh at 59. It helps restore mp faster while resting, which is not essential (some cheap errant's gear can do the job just fine), but it is nice until you reach 72, or for 60 cap events. And it's not terrible for a white mage to use unt...

So, I was back in Yuhtunga Jungle yesterday, leveling Dark Knight for a change of pace and as a (distant) future red mage sub job (so I can someday save an alliance of god fighters with 30 seconds of Chainspell Stun, followed by a quick death by said god). We were killing mandies in front of Kazham ...

When I saw prices rising, I spent all my gil as fast as I could. I managed to get an Aquilo's staff for just under 2 million. About a week later it's almost 4 million. People have been selling Vermillion Cloaks for 20 million in Bazaars now. It's nothing short of insane. I guess a lot of people have...

There are downsides, though. A tactic I've used to solo summoner xp doesn't work anymore. In Ifrit's Cauldron, there's no room to solo Volcanic Bombs (the bombs further in that are tougher than Volcanic Gas). So, what you would do is train the bomb to the Cloister of Flames zone, attack it until Car...

It was pretty depressing for me to see gil sellers finally upgrading to Chains and taking over Oldton. It was one of the few ways left to make money without those guys camping every spot. :( Actually, on Alexander, there are absolutely no NMs worth fighting that aren't camped 24/7 by teams of gil se...
