lv 54/55 equipment questions.

[Zalius]

Alright gonna be hitting 54 tomorrow and need a bit of advice. mainly on 1 item. SHould I get rid of my Royal Knights belt (def 5, str/dex/agi/chr/int/mnd +2) for a Ocean belt? (def 4 hp+30 str+3, dex+2 int-5)? Also is it wise to get rid of a spike necklace and use promise badge insted? (def 4 hp+10 mind+5) Thanks for any input on this.

promise badge insted (def 4 hp+10 mind+5)

My experience has been that mnd+ doesn't really help you out much. If you've kept your healing skill near the cap, increasing your mnd won't make a difference.

I still have my Spike Necklace handy, and removing it (and the MND-6 it gives) doesn't affect my Cure IVs at all. I've been going back and forth between the Medieval Collar (VIT+2) and the Spike Necklace depending on what I'm fighting.

As for your belt, very soon you'll hit the same wall that other PLD will hit... you won't be landing any hits on the mobs you fight. Their evasion is just too high, you won't gain TP, and you won't gain hate. Pick up a Life Belt.

Depends on your pt set up, you'll probably want to have both life belt and ocean belt. I used ocean belt most of the time since I had brd in my perm pt. I hardly miss with melee brd songs. MP was never an issue for me so no point to use mp regen song while fighting.

Unless you have serious mp/healing issue, you might want to consider IM gorget (1def 15hp 1vit) at lvl 55.

Good point Janeping. Life Belt isn't a necessity with Melee Accuracy songs. PLD should keep one handy when their isn't a BRD around.
