I can't wait for Spirit Taker! I'm still a ways away from it tho. But I will get there some day.

What da hell is a spirit taker?

[Nici]

It is a staff Weapon Skill.

[Teffie]

Staff Weapon Skill which converts Damage Done into MP Gained.

ex: Spirit Taker does 100 damage, You gain 100 MP

Dats pretty mad, but only works for 1 hit?

Yea..


It's a Weapon Skill, once you gain 100+% TP you can use it. 1-Hit

anyone have an information on how much damage it can do in an exp party? Can you even get 100% tp in an exp party? I just hit the level on my blm where I can get it...so time to skill up a bit

i'd like to know as well...i've been trying to keep my staff capped. typically, how much damage on average would it do if you had 100% tp? is it anything like spirits within?

What level does SMN get this? Also, any tips on what to level up staff on? I think I'm only at 115

its pretty difficult to level staff solo unless you have sleep spells...but i did something like this (all solo). keep in mind i play a blm/whm and not a smn.

1-80 - qufim...clippers and giants
81-90 - rolanberry fields...smack up some goblins
90-100 - worker crawlers
100-120 - soldier crawlers
120-150 - rumble crawlers
150-180+ - chamber beetles

i started skilling up when i was about level 50. crawlers were the first difficult monsters to skill up on since they were still EP. got my staff, whacked away, healing when necessary. cast sleep, rest for 3 ticks, cast sleep II, rest until it wakes up, repeat. after i got stoneskin, i could take on even match+ mobs for higher skillups, vs rumble crawlers and chamber beetles mostly. blink + stoneskin, find mob, cast sleep and debuff (no DoTs) and whack away til blink and stoneskin wears off. cast sleep, repeat.

currently, my staff is at 184, 2 away from cap. of course, i also break out the staff to melee outside of my solo skill-ups, but they don't account for much gain. i did most of it soloing. after getting to 130 or so, it took about 1 monster for 1 to maybe 1.5 points of staff skill. if you can't or don't want to solo skill up, i suggest joining parties for limit cap 1 items. lichs make great targets for skilling up since their papyrus drop can be a pain...you'll be looking for it a while so more skill ups ^_^. i believe you can go past 150 on those. after that, coffer key parties for pretty much any AF quest works great for skilling up. particularly popular are beadeaux, oztroja, and davoi.

Tonberries can take you from ~150-200+
With the LV70 staff, it can do about 100? dmg for 100% TP in pt.
I did tonberries 150-200, then soloed velociraptors to 220.\
For summoner, it is a level 66 or 67 ability.
Best way to skill up, is wear the lv70 earring, use earth staff, cast phalanx and stoneskin.
