The Beast Within -- A Guide To Blue Mage

Question:

If I don't feel like upgrading Relic Body is Mekosu. Harness an acceptable piece?

My point is that these are both unrealistic, silly, corner cases, you don't base an argument on the validity of things that happen extremely rarely.

Also, this was in no way sarcasm, it was more a metaphor explaining why your argument didn't carry water.


First off inviting a random player on a specific job is to minimize the effects of their potential incompetence. And second among friends you most likely have access to similarly geared Blus and Sams, so you simply would want to take the more appropriate job, you can clear most content pretty consistently with 6x Pup if you want, but why would you?

Anything else is just being a hipster and preferring to do things in a less mainstream way. Much as I love Blu, and my Blu is well geared and could easily outdo most monks there, my rather average Sam and above average Monk outdo it.

Fair enough, and when inviting friends people you know that are competent > anyone you don't know, job regardless these days.

But when inviting strangers at the very least, when you have a choice of the two, people pick the stronger or more consistent job to at least lessen their potential to fail.

And most people still aren't fortunate enough to run with their friends only, and your friends aren't always terribly competent, even if they are your friends, I often go Sam or Mnk over Blu because of my own friends' requests.

Yes, you're totally right in that it's very doable, but these are still rather rare situations, in the overall scope of things.

Looking really hard at Chiner's belt +1 for CdC, along with Rancorous mantle/Light Gorget for CdC, or should I stick to Wanion belt/Windbuffet which I already own?

I was wondering if anybody might have some advice for a returning player. I'm giving the game another shot during this free week after quitting back in may of 2013. I'm obviously very far behind, and wanted to know what I should be spending my time on. I've been doing the eminence content and have a set of the 117 gear along with a scimitar and the homestead blade, but now I'm a little lost. I don't know what to focus on next in terms or gearing or farming or anything, so if anybody has some time to offer help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

So, has anyone seen what augments we can get on our Cornflower Cape?
