RED MAGES. HInts

They can be fighting, running, standing... whatever. Refresh / Regen are "statuses" that affect the character whatever situation they are in, although I haven't checked to see if they still work when you are asleep or stoned

I have four questions for the RDM importers: One: What guilds have you joined?
Two: What kingdom did you start out in? If you had the choice, which one would you have started out in?
Three: When you change your job (Being a Hume I plan to experiment.) do you keep your skills? For example: Say I have a one handed sword skill of 222, I change my main job, do I end up with a one handed sword skill of 1, or whatever it is you start out with?
Four: I am a RDM. I level up to level 9 so I have water 1. Do I have to buy a scroll inorder to use the spell, then scribe it to a spell book, or do I just know the spell?

3) It will go to your currect job/level cap. IE - a lv 1 RDM's 1H sword cap is x. 5 or so probably. Not sure exactly. But if your 1H sword skill is 222, it will go down to 5, the cap. Once you level up, it will go to 10 for example. Because, in this example, 10 is the lv 2 cap.

Basically, if your 1H sword skill is 222, it will go down to 212 for a Lv 65 RDM. Change your job to a 65 WAR, and it will go to 222. Change to a Lv 32 BLM, and it will go to 0. AT least that's how I understand it. Your skills carry over, but will not exceed the level/job cap.

4) You use a scroll, select yourself, and know it. You don't scribe it or anything like EQ. Once you use the spell, you learn, and can cast it.

Hope that helps.

1)the guilds i joined are the ones where you make clothing fish cook and do alchemy .. they are all super useful rto mages of any type.

2) Im no tupset about staring in bastok but windurst gives you a +3 mp +1 int ring at the beginning whioch is always good.
3) You do retain your skills they are just capped fo rthe level you are in .
so if you have 222 in a skill and switch to sj thief level 1.
It will be the cap of level 7 and go no higher.
so you can basically spank bunnies to death with a hit or two.

one big question

I have a question. What exactly does Phalanx do? I heard its the most useful spell red mages have and I've heard so many different ways it works. Does anybody know how exactly it works?

whoa,:sweat: that powerful, eh? I definetely need to plan to get that spell.

So mainly saying Red Mages go well with Hume just from the fact that Hume are all around plus the job is all around. What is the highest Cure they learn?

[Jei]

i have to check in game again if we can use cure 5. right now cure 4 is our highest cure.

[Aldo]

can't use it

[Rico]

How much Cure 4 cure's like it's Max? is it 140? and how much HP It uses up...

[Jei]

let me think...
cure 1 : 30HP
cure 2 : 90 HP
cure 3 : 160-180
cure 4 : around 350 i guess
cure 5 im not sure... don't see people use it that often.

each cure has their maximum healing power. like cure 1 max power is 30. when your skill is still low at low level you might only heal for 10. then it increases as you gain in level. and with the bonus boosts to stats and skills you can even exceed the max amount. like WHM normally heals 33 with cure 1 right now.

as redmages our cure 2 3 4 heals a little less than WHM at the same level. like 10-20% less HP healed. but hmm we both will stop at the same max amount RDM are just a few levels behind.

[Rico]

Thanks for the info so we are not that bad healing ^ ^

This is from a few pages back, but I have to ask this question. Jei - in the pic of your stats at lvl 65. You have your shield skill at 104 - or about half of your other skills (212). How did you raise this so much?? Im lvl 22, and my dagger/sword/evasion is maxed at 63 i think, but my shield is only at 6! i've used it since lvl 4 too. Since yours is half, shouldn't mine be around ~30 or so? what am i doing wrong - or what are you doing right? :confused:

[snipazn]

Later on, when u start Lvling up all ur Subjobs you can lvl up ur shield pretty well....

[Paradigm]

Alright... just a few quick questions concerning RDM:

1)I have heard of the so-called "Enhance Sword" which seems to be basically the best RDM sword in the game. I was curious as to what the stats are and how such a sword is obtained.

2)Where are you able to purchase or find many of the RDM only spells (not including the Bar-series)? The only one that I have seen dropped by a monster was the gravity spell by Wendigos in the Horutoto Ruins.

Thanks

Ah, one more question... Can someone point me in the direction of a good online translator? Whenever I try to use Babelfish or something else, the result is gibberish. Thanks again

Luxury >> shield skill is kinda like weapon skill. unless you train it with high level enemies it won't max
as RDM I never get a chance to tank so basicly I can never train my shield skill. my shield skill only goes up when I solo low level enemies and that's pretty much as high as those enemies can get me to.


Paradigm>> Enhance Sword stat

damage 40
delay 240
magic sword damage +5
when your HP hit red zone - accuracy+8 attack+16
level 68 redmage only

not only it has the highest damage (among all weapons redmage can use that is) it will also boost your en magic power. if your en normally does 5 it will do 10 with this sword.

it's dropped from a HNM dragon called Bune. you can see Bune's art work (by me) in this thread lol
