RDM-WHM-THF AF Armor to AF +1 Armor

[Seraph]

Most people missing over the rdm af+1 body is one of the best gears , w body gl, Morg if you have 10 mil.. af+1 body best for rdm with little chance of w body and low on gil. enf best idea for rdm..

Warlock's Tabard +1 is the absolute best Enfeebling Body for all enfeebles except Slow, Paralyze, and Blind. Those three spells will be situational depending on what you are casting them on. In addition, even in that case Crimson Scale Mail (or Blood Scale Mail) will outperform a Morrigan's Robe every single time. In fact, even a Errant Houppelande would be better than a Morrigan's Robe for those enfeebles. Unless you are stacking Magic Attack Bonus for your enfeebles...

In addition, Warlock's Tabard +1 is also one of the best resting bodies for RDM except for possibly the Mahatma Houppelande. At that point, you need to measure +36MP versus +1hMP, unless you decide to own both.

Also, your English is broken.

Edited for clarity and incorrect vocabulary.

Lol, I forgot: posting one thing makes ppl assume everything else is the same.

Meh, I suppose it's an easy way to try to figure out people.

They way you posted, made it seem like you have had RDM at 75 and had the two upgrade items for over two years. They are correct in at least saying you are lazy if this is the case. If you just free lotted the pieces without having RDM at 75 for that duration, it's a different situation.

In either case, you should upgrade the damn hat, assuming your RDM is at least level 74. >_>

[Enedin]

I'll explain my situation before any more assumptions are made.

I got those 2 pieces when I was a brand new RDM75, still total noob, new to sea, endgame and everything else really, since this game doesn't really start until 75. I got in a Limbus shell and I did put up RDM as the pieces I'd want (well, duh, I had no other jobs lol), but when they dropped, I let others lot first since I really didn't like any of the pieces.

But I was still on the list for RDM, since that was my only job. We got a lot of RDM pieces at that time, and not everybody showed up every run either, so eventually I ended up with both after a few months.

I figured, it's nice to have, but it'll be way down my priority list. Then I levelled THF, PLD, DRK, all spending money on those while getting ra/ex drops (dyna mostly) and merits for RDM. Recently, I got Valor Cape in dyna so I could sell my Cerb and get Amemet+1 back, so I made like 600k. 250k of that went to Black Cuisses, and 350k is what I have left over.

It's been about the first time since I had money and didn't want to spend it on something I need immediately, since all things I want now are like 3M+... So I just figure now is a good time to upgrade.

In short: buying WS gear, enmity gear, HP gear, acc gear, etc. for my THF PLD and DRK was way higher on my priority list than 2 INT and 5 MP (since that's what the hat offers).

It's nice having money and nothing to spend it on immediately.

In short: buying WS gear, enmity gear, HP gear, acc gear, etc. for my THF PLD and DRK was way higher on my priority list than 2 INT and 5 MP (since that's what the hat offers). Because I'm lazy about improving my rdm over other jobs, and therefore quite possibly borderline bad.

I'm not sure why you seem to think that defending your laziness by giving more detail about how/why you've neglected to boost your rdm to the best of your ability--when doing so is easy and cheap--makes the statement that you have been lazy (and therefore possibly borderline bad) with your rdm less true?

Just for the sake of being on topic:

Otherwise, I think the earlier advice is good. For the record, my upgrades in order, as asked (not including BRD and BLM pieces since we don't care):

WHM AF1+1 HEAD (best mnd piece in the game for that job/slot)
WHM AF1+1 HANDS (gogo Hexa Strike)
The rest is trash.

RDM AF1+1 BODY (had AF2 hat already and usually play the job as RDM/WHM in tank parties, so don't nuke much--since I use this for enfeebs and keep it out all the time anyway, seemed a practical upgrade, re-quested, store set)
RDM AF1+1 LEGS (just because I wanted to see what the effect was on my Cure set...wasn't much, don't recommend)
RDM AF1+1 HAT (hardly use, see above comment on body--but it's fun the few times I can rdm/blm or rdm/drk)

[noodles355]

I'm agreeing with Body after Hands for Thf. But only if you don't have Homam, Enkidu's or Skadi.
AF+1 body is better than Rap harness for TPing in almost all situations.

[Kriz]

WHM AF1+1 HEAD (best mnd piece in the game for that job/slot)
WHM AF1+1 HANDS (gogo Hexa Strike)
The rest is trash.

I personally did Hands (I r melee), Body, Head, Feet, and need the materials for the Legs as my last.

Why? Hands are your best WS piece, hands down. Body is great simply because, unlike most other upgrades, you get extra skill for enfeebling. Head is great, but I did it for Mystic Boon over any other reason. This is the point any WHM should stop.

I'm one of those people who would love a job enough to go 5/5, so I did feet simply because they are so unique (5INT, 5AGI, 20% spell interruption, etc). I've saved Legs for last simply because they are good in capped areas so may as well postpone till last. I guess a dedicated WHM would upgrade these fourth for more enmity- for Repose.

I'll probably end up requesting the AF just to have two full sets too. Whatever. Low manning limbus has coins coming out of our ears, and SCH Temenos pieces just don't drop...

[Enedin]

I wouldn't know about WHM AF, but for THF the only thing worthwile is Hands, and Feet so you can request and store.

For RDM, head and body are most common, although body is replaced by errant for resting. It's a shame RDM+1 is so bad compared to others, there's at least usually one piece that improves skill or gives something new that's worthwhile.

[noodles355]

I wouldn't know about WHM AF, but for THF the only thing worthwile is Hands, and Feet so you can request and store.

Again with AF+1 body > Rap etc, and basically anything outside of Homam, Enkidu's or Skadi.
Stop seeing it as a gimp n.body. It's a good TP piece.

[Drunknmunky]

I have another question; about thieves, choice of back gear is Toreador's cape worth getting?

Hidden Effect
Dramatically increases the rate of critical hits taken. At least +40% Critical Hit rate taken.

I know, I’ am off topic with this question. However, I felt like it was not necessary to make a completely new thread. (Not here to gain post counts LOL)

In addition, I would like to thank everyone who has taken his or her time to reply my questions.

Thanks.

[Enedin]

I don't know if there's a body piece with more AGI on it, but for DEX you're better off using Cuchulainn's mantle, and for WS in general I'd use Amemet+1.
