Re: The Red Mage Index

Currently looking for:
1. RDM kiting guide for CoP 2.5 Ancient Vows (Mammets BC fight).
2. Modern, well written, and comprehensive beginner's guide to starting RDM. (I may attempt to write one, if there's none in existence.)
3. Avesta videos (stable sites only).

The Index is very lacking in all manners of RDM guides for non exp party situations, and has basically 0% end game links targetting Red Mages. Any suggestion for those would be appreciated.

Re: The Red Mage Index

I get all my Avesta videos here: http://hosted.filefront.com/Wrish/1492926

Thanks for doing this. Here's your sticky.

I might write that beginner's guide to rdm for you.

Re: The Red Mage Index

The xp table is nearly current - the only thing it doesn't show is the altered xp loss for raise 1 (1,200 instead of 1,800).

Re: The Red Mage Index

Just a complete nitpicky side-note, Avesta is on Remora, not Ramuh. XD

Sorry lol, I'd stalk him to see how he did stuff if he was on my server.

Also, I know it's a LiveJournal, but I highly recommend Belkin's guides to DoT soloing.
