I was once a hue, but deleted it and became a tarutaru. Right now im a WHM, lvl 4. I was wondering, what other jobs are taru's good for? Also, what would be good to sub with WHM? ^^

Any imput is much appreciated!!! ^-^

Thankyou ahead of time -- Kites. <3
 
Taru=Mage onry.

WHM is good for anything mage.
Summoner, Bard, Red Mage, Black Mage, Blue Mage.


Also, look to sub BLM for WHM. The Extra MP and semi nukes help a little.
 
What do blue mages do? o.o

Sorry, I'm a bit of a newbie to FFXI. DX

First of all, my taru WAR will outdmg your mithra mnk at any time.

Second, on WHM you can sub either BLM or SMN, the argument for BLM is for conserve mp, not mp/nukes, the argument for SMN sub is more MP and Auto-refresh.

Play whatever job you want that you enjoy, with the proper equipment you can be effective at any job with any race.

Most of all, kudos on picking a taru, for they are the greatest race in any game ever, they're positively adorable.

Blue Mage can learn the abilities that monsters use, and then set them to their own.. pallet, for lack of a better word.. and then cast them.
 
Lol, yes, Taru's are cute... really cute. <3

But, yes. I will stick with WHM... maybe sub BLM or SMN... I heard that a whm/smn can have up to 1.5k mp. ^^

Very true, although it requires some pretty good gear to do so.

With WHM you'll always have plenty of party invites and people will want you for cool NM(Notorious monster) fights, and other interesting battles. Generally a good choice.
 
Well, I have soem gil savd from before I delted my last account, about 70k, that should last till about lvl 30... right? ^^

Hmm, maybe so, stuff is pretty cheap these days, but I'm not sure 70k will last you to level 30. If you sell crystals and other things along the way as you exp, yeah, 70k will last you a while as you'll fluctuate with it.

Is it a hard job to use? ^^
 
Hi Kites,
I believe we have met before. When you get a moment you may want to check this link out: http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/jobs.html?fjob=1;mid=114166173035256614;num=5;page=1

It has many useful posts on playing the whm job to the best of your ability. The game has so much depth it can be overwhelming. Whm's do so much more than cure... even with curing you'll notice you'll take hate too much if you overdue it.
 
SMN doesnt add any real important benifits. The one being Auto-Refresh. It is like a regen for you MP.
 
Not really just be glad u didn't pick an Elvaan lol but u see most whm have /blm and /smn but they are right /smn is not until like the higher lvl.

Just be wise on what u buy and u can save alot of gil plus also u can buy most of yours spell from a NPC in Selbina or Jueno once u are able to get there but i hope u have fun lvl
 
/SMN is good for Auto-Refresh (available once you get WHM50/SMN25) - though it's not massively good, will only get you 20mp/minute. It has some uses, just different, generally less-needed uses. =/ Additionally, leveling Summoner is somewhat difficult as a early-on job; you'd either be leeching the L65 avatar fights with parties or leveling SMN with only Carbuncle until level 20, in which you can then go attempt to solo the L20 versions of the other avatars. Many people are really uptight about people having all avatars from the get-go, so...yeah, SMN early on can be a difficult choice. =/

/BLM is generally more useful, though some spells are quite expensive if you're just starting out the game. I'd recommend asking one of the forum dwellers to help you with the Drain/Aspir/Warp quests to save a lot of money if you choose to sub BLM.

No need to bother leveling smn realy, /blm you get conserve MP which is just as good as autorefresh. (can save up to 50% on spell cost). Wouldn't be hard to level smn, most time you can be main healer, tho it can be nice to have some avitars for DD.

Those tarus with 1500 MP have like 400-500 HPs. Which can be a bad thing in some places.
 
i havnt used smn sub on my whm in ages..the up side too it just isnt worth it...blm all the way.
 
Granted Taru's are great mages, they can be good melee as well. Really, don't do something b/c 90% of all people say that's the way it should be.

If I were you, which I was in that situation when I first started, SMN looks fancy and happy at first, but I would level WHM or BLM to level 60+ Before you try to do SMN. So much better having all of your avatars at an earlier stage, especially if you can get Fenrir.

But most of all, just remember to have fun, ^^ if you wanna level WAR and become a SAM or DRG go for it, or if you wanna level WHM to be a SMN or BRD it's up to you.

P.S. Having the highest MP you can doesn't make you better, the person who taught me the game was a WHM75/BLM37 Galka, I had his MP beat at level 45. But he was great player.

I'd have to disagree with you there. Soloing the avatars as 20 smn can teach you how to smn kite things, and solo exping. If you did choose SMN as a profession, yu may have to kite things in CoP (I did on the mammat one in the rivine place)

For subs, most common is whm/blm like everyone else said, but I have seen whm/smns and they aren't bad. I would level smn up to 37 anyways just incase people might need you to sub that job. Never hurts to be safe o.o
 
I'd have to say its /blm all the way. Consdiering you need to be level 30 before you can undertake the SMN Flag Quest, however if you did want to go down the /smn route it will be a long and also very frustrating one.

Kites well done for picking WHM its actually boosted my confidence in lower level parties knowing there is a few WHMs about. As for your stash of 70K it will last you quite a bit, and im sure if you sent me a /tell in game I might be able to throw some lower level equipment for WHM that I have stored, and your more than welcome to it. I dont mind helping out fellow WHMs when they need it. However as everyone said sell everything, Rabbit Hides, Crystals and such, might be an idea to NPC things for a quick gil depending on what the AH is like at the time.

So for Quest help, advice or anything /tell Krismorel in game, more than willing to help out.
