Geomancer: Findings and Mechanics *Needs More Handbells!*

[Cream Soda]

What are you guys using in your windower scripts?

Anything with

pause
wait

or

input /wait

gives me this with indi refresh, so it's not possible atm for me to refresh myself through windower script. Indi refresh works fine if I do it on its own, but when pause/wait is added, I get this




Edit:
also

What's your objective? Just Indi-Refresh spam?

[vagus]

I just used the windower script from here. and loaded it up in Abyssea.

Keep it up while I rotate Geo spells. I run out of MP otherwise; even w/ refresh atma


Also, do La Thiene worms get EM or T? Always pts out there, could snag one worm.

My elemental magic is like 30, can't kill these worms out here in ule by myself and theyr'e all popping EP atm

<if notbuffactive="Refresh"> (w/e the Geobuff is named)
<changespell spell="Indi-Refresh" />
</if>

Throw that into a XML.

How do you run out of MP...? I never had that problem in abyssea. Also, capped my skill finally. YUS. Now I need gear? I'm not even sure how to gear a mage job anymore lol.

First mage job, have absolutely no mage background, so my refresh in gear is a total of 2; well 3 now after nares legs, but I can't get them to work w/ my fast cast legs (aka if I fulltime fastcast legs they actually work. Spellcast them in and I get unable to use JA (full circle after geo-spell) because it didn't go fast enough), so atm still 2/tic refresh in gear.

[Tricen]

The script I used was pretty good. For worms in ule, I did Minikin, mounted champ, and future fabulous. Rotating Geo torpor and geo poison over and over. Mana was never an issue and I am 3mp/tic too. The only small kink is that sometimes the script doesn't fire off the first cast, so you have to do the cycle 1 or 2 times before it kicks on for some reason. I could just be dumb and doing something wrong and eventually it gets there, but it's really easy.

[Cream Soda]

ah, that's it. Never picked up geo poison; didn't know it was that low compared to the others. Was cycling Torp and another high mp one lol

[Tricen]

Yeah, geo poison is 25mp <_<. I was in a pt with 2 other GEOs and I switched to torpor and frailty so we didn't kill the worm, and I wasn't keeping up mana, so I switched back to poison lol.

[Trumpy]

Ohhh i was gonna say how did you not get geo poison cause its the first spell we got with the job, then i realized u meant the geo version lol. I capped skill jsut sittin outside town spammin magic. Though i did try gustav a couple times but i didnt do the silence stuff i just Used spells on the worms and if they nuked i Walked out of range for a moment then back. Had my mule there tossin cures at me one of the times. I tried the uleg worms one time but after an hour didnt get many skillups at all and didnt feel like tryin to level them up (or had the time at the moment). Gustav worms were pretty sweet with the skillups I'd say.

But i mostly stood out of town and jsut spammed magic. I tried using higher level spells this way but it didnt always seem to give any more skills than the lowest spells. What i did was put in my sequence of spells refresh (/rdm), skillup food (in a aftercast of one of the spells in the sequence), and geo refresh. I kept tryin to have it use full circle to cast a new loupan but it got complcated and never worked jsut right so i said screw it and it ended up workin better in the end.

Now when i tried to use food it never used it til the effect wore off so it doesnt waste food. I only ever used bout 3 of them at a time and isnt really required. And for some reason at the time the highest skilled foods were cheaper than the food before it. And geo refresh never casted until the loupan died so it didnt waste needless mp doin that til it was actually needed. /rdm refresh of course was casted way before it was due to wear, and im sure saavy coders would make it so it only casted refresh if you didnt have it already but with only serpentes feet hands, refresh spell and georefresh, I could cast indi versions of the lowest spells all day without ever resting. I think you could prolly cast a mid level spells without runnin out of mp too.

I think it took a week to cap tops.

[dasva]

When doing the skillups for it to be counted as offensive does it have to be one of the lowers enemy blah blah or can it be any "geo" type spell

[Kaisha]

Has to be a Geo- spell that targets an enemy.

[dasva]

Thought so... well 200mp per spell isn't turning out as bad as I thought with full circle and abyssea

[Tricen]

Geo poison is 25mp lol

[dasva]

Yeah but I don't want to potentially kill the mob

[Tricen]

lol I don't think you have much to worry. It would take a fairly long time for the poison to kill the mob. At least in ule range you probably won't kill the mob since it stoneskins a lot.

[dasva]

meh minikin and the occasional indi-refresh are enough to keep me topped off so no need

[Kanriel]

145 combined skill for 8hp/tick regen. Not sure what all information we have on these breakdowns or if anyone is collecting them, but posting it here in case anyone is interested.

[Cream Soda]

K handbell capped and geomancy 3 away from (can prolly pick up most of that actually obtaining the rest of my geo-spells + naturally); both are fully merited as well.

So now it comes to gearing.

I'm assuming the abyssea hairpin is the only option for refresh in head slot? (will be a bitch to get probably; but need a 2nd dark ring anyways. There a way to utilize both with spell cast? Always had a priority issue w/ windower macros, so having 2 was worthless)
I have orvill robe and nares legs at the moment, will pick up serpentine cuffs/boots easily enough;

Oweleyes worth it (and getting a genbu shield?) or should I be fulltiming terra staff?

Have pdt/mdt/dt in neck, back, rings (though as I said i need a 2nd dark ring; so with dark ring in one finger, have options of jelly, merman's, and shadow for the second), and earrings.

Have Orvill pants and nares cap for fast cast


Anything cheap/easy to obtain in terms of a cure set? Also is healing skill worth skill botting? (If so what's the best way to go, or can I cure undead for better skill ups?). Shouldn't be too difficult since it has no natural skill, only from the sub; Does it make a huge diff at that level though (subjob's level that is)

Not too concerned with nukes at this particular moment

Possibly gonna get a fuckload of time in abyssea and aspir rotate/other dark magic that doesn't do dmg and just take dark magic as high as I can in one go and just skill it naturally for the rest as it's used. Cheap/easy starter dark magic set?


am I missing anything else? in terms of sets, or specific pieces of gear that could be useful for any of the ones I've mentioned? First mage job, so easing my way into it; want to get as much easy to obtain shit as possible before dropping huge time investments or amounts of gil into small upgrades
