so you do 2 seperate equip switch macros before and after every fuidama? :dead:


my equip:

emperor hairpin, spike necklace, drone earring, genin earring, black cotehardie, rogue's armlets, fluorite ring x2, amemit mantle +1, life belt, rogue's culotte, winged boots

additional tp equip: coral earring x2, battle gloves, sniper's ring x2, tiger trousers

weapons: cermet kukri +1, greed scimitar, lightning bow +1, archery lvl isnt high enough yet so i still use the lvl 1 crap arrows to pull


things i'd like to get next: spectacles maybe, garuda's dagger definitely

[Mithrankittycat]

"so you do 2 seperate equip switch macros before and after every fuidama?"

Yep, 12 changable slots and 6 lines per macro. E:

We know someone has too much time...

And I was complaining about not having enough space.

nah, ideally that's what a good thf should do, other wise you're probably low SJ exp leech gimp

[Roldarin]

At 49 my current gear is listed here:
http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/userinfo.html

But when gaining tp I switch in:
2x Beetle Earring +1
Battle Gloves

I want to buy a Life Belt to swap in as well.

My problem is I sometimes forget to switch from my tp gear to my fuidama gear. It really hurts to lose +6 AGI and +3 DEX.

[Kastel]

well seems you have the right idea...

just need to level your sub a bit :\

[Fire]

Hands = War Gloves
Rings = Spinel x2 ( soon to be thunder rings~ 1.5mil each T_T )
Back = Republican army's Mantle
Waist = Life Belt
Legs = War Leggings or someshit
Feet = Strider Boots

lust/greed~ hehe that was good for like a whole level ;/ well atleast i thought it was...
In all actuallity~ the greed slows down your attack speed, the sword skill for thief is low so it f%#^s up ur tp return cuz u will miss alot, and well.... 7dex isnt all that great if your just going to miss with it.

I have yet to test it in XP parties, I do get more TP back from 2 swing hits (though its mariginal..)

I might replace it with corsairs knife (atk+10) and then sub lust, but I will see
