[Darieus]

ok guys another question. im going to be nearing lvl17 soon and im getting lizard set! except headgear will be hairpin. good idea? hope so. anyways, lvl 20..would you guys say this is a pivotal level were i need to be wearing a specific set of armor or what? what armor for rdms is appropriate for lvl 20 and lvl 30. for lvl 30 i was thinking about garish tunic..but i dont see any real boost it would do for me. suggestions please. oh yeah! and..swords? should i keep going with this? ive read posts about meleeing doesnt seem to matter anymore when we hit around lvl 30, so where should i be heading towards when i get there? staves, wands?
thanks.

I always went with the heavy armor (Beetle then to Centerion Gear @30) and I used that to Farm for my RSE. I loved that a RDM could use Centerion gear... I used the body, feet, legs, and gloves; always used the best hairpin I could, +INT, +MND rings. Also, the Cent. sword rocks the house for a lvl 30 rdm. This really helped me farm more effectively, but I always used a wand in parties....
Looking back I guess I could have used differnt tunics for INT or MND boosts, but my RSE was usefull, and I farmed a lot around the 30-33 lvls so the heavy armor was they way to go.

Lizard gear is fine until 21, when you should go for the beetle armor. You can keep that until 30 for centurion's, or get the 27 scale (can't remember the name). You shouldn't be getting hate much, so armor is low priority. Spells first, of course. Depending on the party layout and what you fight, you can melee until 30 so a sword is fine, but you should also have a wand for casting. Gear to boost INT and MP are always more important than armor or a sword. Also, get your RSE as soon as you can, it does wonders for elvaan mages.

Lizard > Beetle > Scale if you feel like it (I hated looking like I was lvl 10 again) > Centurion/Mrc Cpt.

I wore the Brass/Silver hairpins instead of armor though. The MP is decent on those. And the lv 10 gloves that do +3 attack are good clear until lv 30 if you melee any.

As mentioned above, try to get your RSE earily as possible. Look into using +Mp Hairpins as well.

Yes you can buy the armor at AH or do the quest to get it.

If you're willing to do the required farming, I'd recommend Mage's Sandals (+3mp, +1 agi) at lv20 and Battle Gloves(+3 acc/+3 eva) if you don't have'em yet.

On the sword/wand issue, I'd recommend having both and using "/equip Main [weapon]" in your macros to switch to the wand for spellcasting and back to the sword for regular melee.

And at lv27-33, I'd definitely recommend getting the RSE. The quest isn't too hard. At lv30, you may be able to solo it. My friend solo'd it as a hume rdm/war and I've solo'd some of it as a mithra rdm/war.

Battle gloves!! How could I forget the gloves I wore until lv 54?? ^_^ (Taru RSE sucks for RDM).


A question Apple Pie, or Bono or one of the other lvl 60+ Taru RDM's could maybe answer:

What do you wear for gloves/legs/boots when you exp? I can't find any gear better than the AF, except Magic Cussies.
