My idea...

Ok well most people wear like Amethyst rings or somethign to increase DEX. But if it is true that CHR affects your provokes wouldnt that be important to use when you are tanking?? I plan to buy +CHR items and see if it is worth it.

Elvaan have engouh CHR as it is now now you dont wanna look pretty while fighting Dex is important or Vit.

Actually ive found that if you don't hit the mob consitently, then voke is useless. Ive seen this hapen when i tank and level up a weapon that wasnt up to date. Since it's dated, i usually fan the mob a lot and it easily gets off me.

Leave the +CHR to BST and BRD, trust me.

Ok thanx.

If you want more cha, maybe you could consider using bst for your sub, granted it's abilities aren't has usefull has mnk or thf.

Once i saw a war/bst main tank in a group next to ours in CN and saw the message "The worker crawler is intimidated by xxx presence." Maybe those killer passive could be usefull since a large portion of your xp will come from crawler and beetles after you're out of kazham.

I ditched my Bird Wistle (+5 HP +3CHA) for a Spike Neclace. For me, the +3STR and +3DEX (and -6MND, blehhh) is better then the +3CHA.

Right now, I hit more often and hit harder (also have a +2STR ring), and now when I tank (with Defender - I always use meat mithkabobs as a Warrior) it's pretty tough to peel the mob off me, so I don't have a problem with a slightly less effective provoke at the moment. Keep in mind I use a Great Axe (Neckchopper, cost me 39K, auch), best weapon I laid my hands on so far.

In 5 levels, I'm going to switch to Paladin, but the gear I have right now, I'm going to keep it (it cost me 200K anyway), for the purpose of being able to help people with the San-Doria / Windurst Dragon (Bastok mission 2-3).

Pulled from FFXI Offical site:
"...now when a monster is attacking a PC with the appropriate "Killer" job trait or a PC under the protection of a "Circle" ability, the creature is occasionally intimidated and unable to attack, similar to the "paralyzed" effect."

Not sure if paralyze (and extra damage?) is worth the BST sub.


An interesting Cha+ item is the Corsette at Lvl40
Def 4 Str-2 Agi-2 Cha+5

I do think that the Str and Agi hit would bug me, tho.

at level 24 where can i get enough money to get a neckchopper or plant bane. The prices went up 5k and I just bought a LS. So im pretty broke. You think crawlers in sarutabaruta a good idea? I wouldnt have thief sub tho so that would slow the process down alot-a-bit.

Pal mines, Valkurm Dunes, Giddues and Ghelsba all have beast men fight those they drop 40 gil a fight. When you get thief subbed the easiet place to go is Valkurm Dunes and hunt lizzes for lizzie skins
