But that is the key to your style of farming, since as a Mithra you have more natural evasion than any other race.
As a Hume, my strategy for farming involves keeping my magic consumption to less than 150 MP per every 2.5 minutes. I use gear swaps to squeeze the absolute maximum effectiveness out of my spells- 19 extra en-spell damage (not including day/weather bonus I have gone up to 22-23 on double weather matching days), 30-40 reduction from Phalanx, close to the 350 cap on my stoneskin. I would kill for the extra gobbie bag and mog safe space so I could carry enhancing torque and augmenting earrings to push my efficiency a little further.
