If you have a good amount of gil saved up and you're Elvaan or Galka, you should absolutely look into getting an Astral Ring (Lv10 Converts 25HP->MP). Having an extra three Cures or Cure 2 is a big boost!

...or you could wait until level 40 and buy an Electrum Ring that converts 20HP>MP for a tiny fraction of the price.

Astral Ring is totally overrated, except for Red Mages who have reason to worry about their balance of MP/HP. And before you ask, yes I own one - I used to own two, until I got my Tamas Ring.

I'll probably continue to own and use mine on my WHM until I get a Tamas Ring.. We Elvaan are just.. not endowed with a big MP pool.

True. But honestly the 5MP difference between Astral and Electrum Ring is negligible. Max MP is useful as an emergency fund for crisis situations like linked enemies, etc, but as you rise in level, your MP flow becomes less dependent on your max MP pool since a proportionately smaller amount of your MP recovery comes from resting and is instead supplied by Refresh, Ballads, or Evoker's Roll.
