For a fun, light hearted time. A message board with friendly fellow Mithra. MP boards are the best. But for raw data, we don't stack up to things like Allakhazam. (Our clock rocks, though)

It's a drop from a NM Buffalo named Bonnacon in the Uleguerand Range. The NM also drops a pretty powerful Scythe, lv 74 I think. The NM is supposed to be lvl 69, so get a couple high level buddies and camp the bugger.

Or farm up 3mil or so and buy it off AH. ^.^

My opinion about cure clogs is that they are not needed.
The cast time down is hardly noticable, and at the higher levels you must know enough about the job to act quickly on anything.
It's better to save up the gils for the lvl 70 whm JSE.

Also I read on various Whm boards a couple interesting things. Though you can pump out cures somewhat faster, -Emnity gear is generally more important. Like the Errant/Mahatma Pigache(sp?)

Well the errant gear is a nice cheap alternative to the JSE,

it has great +mnd and -emnity on it, tho hate control shouldn't be that big a problem with the tons +emnity tanks wear.
The body adds another nice +5 MP while resting so that isn't too bad either.

I'm also saving up for the Blessed set,
it's not really needed but it's great gear with all the -emnity and extra haste effect.

Ya stupid warriors who think they should pump out every ounce of enmity when the majority of high lvl warriors rarely, and i mean on what my cuz showed me on shiva and what i've seen on hades, tank that often, I've seen dual wielder dual shadow tanks but, even if you are tanking war at high levels, if you jsut focus on enmity, theres a problem with that, becuase all most wars do is "Oh i need enmity nothing else matters" unfortunetly str and atk and acc dex for those non mithra races, are neglected and thus is the story about high lvl idiot warriors. not all just some.

I've been wearing the new Rostrum Pumps. Extra MP, MND, INT, and *Fast Cast*.

I'd rather fight popped NMs for nifty gear like this any day than camp the kings for abjurations. :)

It seems to add Fast Cast I if you don't have it, but the difference is subtle. Black mages probably get the most benefit... they sub RDM anyway and cast lots of big slow spells.

Sorry,
read again, the boots "Enhance" Fast cast,
meaning if you don't have the Fast cast Jobtrait this effect will be useless.
The main reason why a lot of BLMs sub RDM in the higher levels is because of Dispel btw.

When Fighting RDM type Weapons in {moon} Dispel is a great need.
And a lot of (H)NMs have a lot of nasty buffs that need to be dispelled fast.
When the RDM just used it and a mob uses another buff the blm will be able to dispel this.

Z is right, Rostrum pumps DO add fast cast to spells even if you dont have rdm sub.

ive tested against her and meliadoul, thier rase3 casts faster than mine when we all start at the same time (a full 1-3 seconds faster). which indicates that fast cast is indeed working.

my guess is, the boots are sort of like the rdm af hat. they increase fast cast lvl by 1, meaning, if your sub rdm, and using the boots, you would have fast cast 2 instead of the normal fast cast. otherwise the boots just give fast cast 1 to anyone not subbing rdm.

(just fyi: any "enhances: X" on weapons and armor give you the ability if you dont already have it, at least in my experience)
