It's along those lines. Something like that anyway. It just says that evasion is better than AGI... but Drone Earrings are way better than Dodge Earrings. Even if 2 AGI equals 1 evasion, that's still quite beneficial.Uzor said:

Pahaha! Whoopty-dink. 8 MP for 150,000g? I'd buy Vermillion Cloak before I did that. Like- it's good, but honestly, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on that kind of item.
Or do you mean it's 150k for both in total? Either way, I'm dirt poor at the moment. After I get some money, I'm looking into starting WHM again, but actually having good equip. Looking into Serket Ring, Ether Ring, Noble's Tunic... a nice task of 15,000,000g about. If my friend's help actually works, I should have that in about 3-4 weeks. I'm in no hurry to level WHM right now though. I'm already kicking @$$ in Valkurm with NIN. Having +11 AGI on the already base AGI (I dunno) helps me evade pretty much everything. The stuff I don't parry, I evade. The stuff I don't evade, my shadows take care of. Is there any stat (like AGI) that helps parrying?

Phantom Earring, Phantom Tathlum, are far from useless... if you ever level BLM those are must-have items unless you can find something better (Moldavite Earring etc...)
And you want all the MP you can have as WHM, and all the MND you can have, too. -enmity is also nice.
and Tamas Ring + Vivian Ring > Serket Ring and Ether Ring... a bit harder to get though

Okay... Tamas ring is only available if you've completely beat the missions of the game up to this point in CoP. Vivian ring is nice, but I'd rather not. I used to go for Enmity down gear, but then I kinda quit WHM and went back to power leveling some people. Enmity is your best friend while power leveling. I can power level in like Gustav Tunnel without ever having MP go lower than like 90% thanks to Enmity and Stoneskin. But yeah, in parties, Enmity down gear rocks. If you ever have time, I wouldn't mind getting my AF hands and body. They're not really uber great, but I'd probably be better in parties and stuff... Plus, my head wouldn't look like a condom anymore.
...afk for lunch haha... be back in like 45 min when my next spare is up. XD

like I said, a bit harder to get... but it's worth it if you actually SPEND TIME getting somewhere instead of just ranting and PL'ing people to make the game worse for yourself...
Yeah. I'm trying to get the CoP missions done. I wanna learn how the story goes in the game. If I can get that done, it'd be kickass. However, benefitting myself doesn't really happen much. Hence the reason my equip sucks and my level's so low. I just didn't really like missions that much.Uzor said:

75 isn't in sight anytime soon. also, using soleeater w/out putting a SATA weaponskill afterwards is almost a death wish :-D . don't worry, i'd cure you though {/sigh}
Thnikkaman, what the hell are you doing?
You used to be at least kind and good-natured, back when I first met you when I had just moved to this server and you decided to PL my party in Valkurm Dunes. You seemed nice then, I gave you a few WHM pointers, we exped again later on, we sent each other the occasional tell.
Now, WTF? You keep posting all of this spleen-venting on the Flameboard for reasons I don't even know. What's the point of all this crap? To get people to agree with you? To get people to flame you? The Flameboard is not your blog to vent about the game, it's a forum to discuss legitimate issues. Do you need a linkshell or something where you can vent freely?
What is the purpose of this? You're just making people hate you by openly criticizing their gear choices and bitching about expectancies and all that. MANY people who wear the best gear ALSO help people out a lot, and in many and varied ways other than just by PLing noobs through Dunes. (Yes, I was the recipient of about 2k of exp this way.) The Flameboards aren't a blog for anyone to complain about the price of stuff. The rule has always been, and always will be, that the people who want these expensive pieces of equipment will find a way to afford them, and those who don't, won't bother with them.
Rather than complaining about what everyone else is doing, why not focus on being the best player, the best mage, and the best WHM that you can be....? Or is that too much work and not enough fun?

Just a little observation
Hello there,
It's been quite a while since I've been able to post or even access this site due to some wonderful firewall upgrades they made at my office . . . >.>
I just wanted to take a moment to comment on an apparent contradiction in your take on why you are leveling so slowly. Earlier on, you wrote:
followed in quick succession by:
Now let me tell you a little story:
Many, many moons ago, when I was just a weeee little noob, I got into a party in the dunes. At the time, I didn’t understand the game mechanics well enough to know what a huge mistake it was to think that War/Whm had any true potential in a party environment. Fortunately, along came a PL. We made simply amazing xp, and I didn’t even have to voke unless a blm managed to somehow pull hate off our uber Whm benefactor. Then off to Qufim I went, and stayed . . .
And stayed . . . and stayed.
Many months later, while leveling thf, I again found myself in Valkurm, and was honestly pissed when someone told me that they had a PL on the way. I mean, hey; not that there’s much to learn about thf at level 15, but I still felt I was being deprived of any true sense of accomplishment. The PL arrived and handed out Linkpearls to the party members so that we could better communicate with him. Every indication I had was that this guy was approaching the realms of professional PL.
That PL was you.
So unless things have drastically changed, along with your attitude concerning when and where PL is appropriate, I’d go so far as to say that you have little room to talk about the “noobs noobs noobs” you’ve seen lately.
After all, it sounds like you’ve created a few, yourself.

lol what a fucking riot :-D
you dont need the hand out a linkshell pearl the communicate with those your pling, ever heard of {/say}? unless you repeatedly pl'd them for many many lvls, which means this next statement is OH SO TRUE

Professional power leveler? Yes. Retired? Slightly. Hah- I haven't done that whole hand out the linkshell thing for like half a year already, when half the people in the parties I power leveled were Japanese and didn't want to borrow a pearl for a bit, or just didn't want to accept any way.
Solitia... First of all, I figured Flameboard would be thee place to rant. I wanted opinions, is all. I wanted to see what other people thought about what I thought sucked in the game. It's a flame about all the things I see in the game about stuff I don't think is right.
I admit, I might also have made some noobs in the game, but I never really power leveled people more than once or twice. Even then, the only person who would become noob would be the WHM. "I was power leveled for one hour of my in-game life in Valkurm, and now I'm a noob"... like that's gonna happen.
