How many Shihei tool used per hour?

[Rekiem]

Im just starting to play with NIN job and Im trying to figure out how many Shihei I need to bring with me when I PT. Im kinda limited with inventory space, even with all the gobbie bag quest done, since I have alot of different equipment. So how many Shihei do you use per hours so I can get an idea on how many I should carry with me. This is for lv 1 to 37 btw.

5 stacks will last you one full day of xp'ing

you wont need many from 1-37.

You'll only *need* to carry ice elemental powder and shihei. Because the ichi elementals have a long casting time and are extremely weak, you'll only need them to skill up your ninjutsu skill so 1 stack per 2-3 levels should suffice.

Shihei I dont know, battles end too quickly at those levels and without utsusemi ni, you wont be getting raped. So I guess 4-5 stacks for one day is fine. Your inventory space should be daijoubu.

How about for only a couple hours worth of play? 1-2 stacks?

You should go through 3-4 shehei per fight, and fight 2-3 fights per 5 minutes.

Soo.....60/5=12, 2*12=24, 3*12=36, 24*3=72, 36*4=144.

So I'd say anywhere between 72-144 shehi per hour. I'd bring 2 stacks per hour just to be on the safe side.

Right now I can only manage to use around 3 Shihei per fight, 4 if Im lucky. Im using about 1 stack per 2 hours I think. I find that trying to use more than 3 per fight just end up in me losing hate because of wasted casting time that get interrupted by casting Shihei.
