| Re: Need some advice Not sure who gave you the advice to level mages first to make money. Last time I checked, a MNK30/thf15 is going to out-perform a rdm30/thf15 when it comes to farming critters. Farming on mage jobs isn't impossible, but I'd say impractical when compared to a damage dealing melee job.
However, if you do choose to level a mage first, I would personally suggest WHM to 18 or 37 first as you'll need that for sure to sub for either of the other mages (RDM and BLM). Also, you might find Scholar is something to consider because it tends to be a pretty good subjob for mages, specifically WHM.
Go ahead and level what you want though, but if leveling RDM is your priority, you're going to have to stop at level 18-20 to take WHM up to sub-level.
In the end, no matter which of the 3 mages (RDM, WHM, BLM) you choose to start with, you'll most likely end up leveling the other two at least to 37 (depending if you want to go to 75RDM). |
