    MNK should have STR Acc and ATK

    Well you shouldnt worry then, but dont overload on HP => MP gear...its nice but if you die then its useless especially at higher lvls. Go with what fits you best...and imo hMP is the most important. As its usually not how much you have...but how fast you gain it back for the next fight.

    Well at low levels there's not much choosing MP > hMP. Pilgrim's Wand over Whale Staff. Unless you have a Dia Wand (and I doubt many do) I'd just leave the Pilgrim's on all the time. Seer's Tunic > all at 29. Baron's Slops > all at 20 and there aren't that many uber MP leg pieces before Frog Trousers (for taru) or RSE (everyone else).

    If you mean hMP is more important than max MP gear I would agree. I probably should've made that more clear. It's just that in terms of gear availability there is a ton more MP gear and very few hMP pieces. Basicalliy focus on MP gears until you can start throwing in some hMP gears. If you want to be really good you'll ocassionally macro in your max MP gears over your hMPs to start chains or whatever, though this often isn't an issue and you might as well keep hMPs on all the time.

    However, if by some miracle you got a Dia Wand you would definitely macro the Dia Wand in for cures and rest in the Pilgrim's Wand. And at 51 you'd rest in the Dark Staff and cure in the Light Staff.

    Ok, what does < stpc > mean and how would i set that macro up ?

    Also does it auto target lowest hp and cure that member of party ?

    Or how does that work ?

    Please and Thank you

    Select Targert Player Character

    Once you hit the macro you can select your target from among the PCs in your viewing range. This is nice because it keeps you from targetting around to all of the NPCs. However, F1-F6 are superior in my experience fo quickly targetting the PT member you want to cast on.

    I use < stnpc > constantly for pulling with Elegy and in all of my sleep macros. It's the same concept except it doesn't target any NPCs.

    You can also use < lastst > so that the name will come up in a macro or something. I use it to remain targeted on my last pull for a quck and easy sleep when I get back to camp without having to retarget or anything.

    /ma "Carnage Elegy" < stnpc >
    /ta < lastst >

    This way instead of defaulting to my target before the ST it will go to whatever I just Elegied and I can hit my lullaby macro without even turning my back.

    For cures you could set it up like...

    /ma "Cure" < stpc >

    Also be aware that you can use < p0 > < p1 > etc. P0 will always be yourself. P1-P5 will be the remaining PT members. For alliance stuff you can use < a10 > - < a25 > The first number will be the group in the alliance (1 for the top PT and 2 for the middle PT). The second number is selected the same as for PT. The third person in the middle PT would be < a22 >.

    There are times that this can be a faster targetting method for quick cures in an alliance. Usually I'll just /ta Miriel (or whatever the person's name is) and then hit the macro. However, if the person's name is... Saitohajime (guy in one of my LSs) I will ofte /ta < a13 > or whatever the case may be.

    If you are outside curing an alliance and you need to target a specific tank regularly you can adjust your macros to include that person's name or set a /ta macro separately to make it less work.

    /ma "Spell" Chalumeau is something I use a lot when doing duo work with my wife because if we are both engaged it can be difficult to quickly target her with a spell.
