Ok my rdm is coming up on to 51 as soon as I get my paper and I was wondering if someone could tell me how much they spent on getting all the staves. Trying to get a full amount for both standard staves and the +1 versions. I know I'min for alot of farming, nm hunting, and other stuff for the money just attempting to get a general idea. I'm deffinitly getting a dark staff before going past or near 51 but I'm going to try to get them all. :twisted:
regular staves safe to say most are about 100k with a few exceptions i recently repurchased my earth staff for 160k.. light was up 110k, dark 100k? +1 versions expect 300k roughly for each last i checked ah at least and I didnt check all the elements mainly light/dark/earth.
as side from the dark which ones should i mainly try to get first as a rdm?

After Dark, I would say look at the stats they give you and decide what is most important to you. For me as a Blm, I went for the Ice staff for the +4 int and +10 elemental magic skill.
well being a rdm i could get an ice and light so i can use either one depending on if i'm main healer or just doing enfeebs. hehe i think i answered my own question. :roll:

Make sure you have a dark staff for MP recovery as well. True you're a RDM and can use Convert, but if you're in an area with low-HP aggroing mobs....... :x
EDIT: Eh, I'm going blind or something. >_< You're already planning to get a dark staff, please ignore this post lol.

I got my dark staff for 110k, and I <3 it. Now all I need is a lightstaff, promise badge, red cape+1, garlaige key, beadeaux key, crawler's key.....
/sigh

dark
light
ice
then whatever else i choose to get lol.

dark --> wind/light --> ice/light --> earth/light --> (possibly....) LIGHT!!!!
see. you need dark staff as a rdm you get little time to sit and rest.. you need all the help you can get.
next, you can either go for light staff if you heal alot (which i dont.. but i do cast 3's and 4's depending on how good the whm/tank are and when need be)
or, you can go for wind staff, with wind staff, o bless wind staff, it gives you a 10% bonus chance to sticking gravity (a must for soloing aquarious, in fact.. you should get HQ whever possible for any staves) and not only gravity SILENCE which at higher levels means dead party, or living with good xp party.
(see light staff section)
next, you should rpbobly try going for ice, because if you ever want to cast any damage.. this should help alot (with ice staff blizzard 2 becomes my most powerful spell... this also helps because 85% of renkei are distortion) plus its addition to ice damage it adds elemental skill.
(see light staff section)
or, you could go after earth staff which not only helps when you are soloing things if you dont mind switching back and forth and losing TP as most of your damage should be by spells. but it raises chance of slow to stick... its always good when the monster attacks slower.
please note that you should get any HQ staff when you can... if you cant afford much you could possibly just get dark and wind for awhile.you DO NOT NEED a light staff HQ as far as i can remember... but im not looking at my spell list or my change/equip macro page..
