I've gotten so weird about equipment especially for low jobs. Back when I started I was such a gimp... I leveled my WHM to 36 in level 11 doublet. In retrospect I think I picked up on the skill of it quickly but not what I actually need to be wearing... and I was so focused on unlocking BRD.Originally Posted by lionx
These days I will not be seen in public on a low job without HQ gear. I have the most elite gear possible for the rest of my jobs. Mostly because I can and especially because when I'm leveling as a taru tank or melee job I need the help. At the same time... I hate it when people just other players for not having omfgtehuberleet gear. People forget that lower level people don't always have access to the huge money makers that they do. If they could come back from a KS30 one night with 10 million gil maybe they would pimp out a little more. More credit needs to be given to players with skill that enjoy the game. Those are the best players by far.
Haha... I'm such a BRD when it comes to other jobs... not that it's a bad thing necessarily. I have a ton of /equip macros even for my non-mage jobs.
Example:
As a THF I have Beetle Earrings +1... however.. when I'm pulling and potentially taking the most hits I don't want to wear evasion -4. So my pull macro puts in some other earrings while I pull to dodge the evasion loss until I get back to camp and someone vokes it off of me. Then I put on the atk+6.
Example 2:
When duo tanking in the dunes as WAR with my wife's NIN I try to let her keep hate so I have an assortment of great gears on but for quick and sure hate grabbing I macro in a lot of enmity gear for my vokes (Cache-Nez, Dash Sash) but don't keep them on because I don't want more hate than here in the long haul.
Also with WAR I will put on Stamina Rings +1 and some other gear after a voke for the extra VIT but as soon as the hate is off of me I put back on my Courage Rings +1 for extra STR.
You can only imagine the lengths I go to with RDM for MND enfeelbes and INT enfeebles in addition to having a ton of extra MP gear in the even that I'm main healing.
Haha... I stopped last night at 10 because Sandy isn't in first place so I can't by Flax Flowers from the airship docks. I'm so cheap as a crafter. But I suppose slow and steady is much better. I know people that NPC even the synths that are a big profit just because they don't wanna waste the time waiting for it to sell (That's one of the reasons I have 12 mules... the equipment is another one >.>) When I hit the silk road I'll probably take it extremely slowly and farm a large portion of my materials.
I always wonder about people that can afford to NPC everything they make... They must've found a better place to farm than me *cough*IGE*cough* ^^
