I admit it, I used the Fortifications to skill Scythe to lv50 cap for DRK since I was stupid and used GS only when leveling it for sub. That being said, I contend that SE added Dancer to enable melees to solo. What does this mean? Gear defensively (eat Tavnazian Tacos, etc), sub Dancer, get ... Read More

To start off, I finally capped Shield Skill on Paladin! I tried PLD/RDM vs. Pucks in the Den of Rancor, but that ended in death, so I went back to my old friends the Steelshells as PLD/DNC. I proceeded to pull only EM or T ones and beat them down with my Warp Cudgel so ... Read More

I have but one word for Composure: awesome. The recast time increase is a very manageable 25%, but the duration increase is 300%. Accuracy bonus seems to be a straight 15, which is a very nice amount for free. While I was farming Enthunder II, I managed to aggro Bonze Marberry and an Iron Maiden, ... Read More

Two words: Holy. Crap. Nuevo Coselete will be mine! I’m still torn on whether or not to pair Accuracy +10 or Fast Cast +5% with Enmity +5. Accuracy can be made up with Dorado Sushi, but having that much extra would be quite nice for Atonement spam. On the other hand, Flash going 5% faster ... Read More

I’ve not made a real post in a couple weeks, and since I’m presently skilling Staff on the Fortifications, I figure I’d make a post. In the past few weeks I’ve accomplished quite a bit. Most recently, I hit Floor 100 in Nyzul and got my Vorpal Sword finally on Saturday! I immediately went out ... Read More

I won the Mandragora Doll! Got the email last night while I was farming an Oztroja coffer key and helping a friend work on his Sturdy Axe for King’s Justice. Much thanks to BG! 😀

NB: This is a work-in-progress and will likely have more additions throughout the next few days. NB2: This isn't really a "mini-guide" now that I look at it. NB3: This is merely my opinion and not canon. Please do not repost it anywhere. Paladin is a rather gear-intensive job if played right, like most other ... Read More

Most people who’ve leveled Red Mage in the past 2 years have heard of Avesta, often due to people half-jokingly telling them to go do what he does. I have based my merit point plan on his due to wanting to solo stuff at some point as well. If you look at his page, he ... Read More

For some reason, I’ve finally caught the meripo bug again. I’ve had two excellent merit parties in the past few days, both of which were in excess of 15k/hr, enabling me to finally cap Enfeebling Magic merits last night. I plan to cap Shield merits before Friday if I can, then I’ll need to work ... Read More
