WHM Lv 50 XP Armor..

[Shipa.Ramuh]

Ok now when ive got Lv 50 im not sure if i should get Light staff or use my AF weapon with Holy Shield.. Im gonna spend 200k on Dark Staff and 150k on Light if im goin with Light. The shiled is 90k on my server.

I will have moe MP and maybe some more mnd with AF+shield..

So what should i get?

[Rones]

Don't waste money on the shield. It's utterly worthless compared to dark + light staff. Dark first, and then get a ligth staff. Have your macros swap staffs as needed eg:

/equip main "Light Staff"
/ma "Cure III" <t>

ok thanks for the tip, well i did ask some on my LS.. and they told me to get Dark + Light staff for less downtime. ^^

Holy Shield/Divine Shield and Holy/Divine Breastplate look pretty... and not much else.

Get the Light Staff. It's way better, since it effectively adds ~5% more healing to your arsenal (10% cure potency, but not all the spells you cast are Cures).

It's also fun to use to magic burst Cure magic against undead, since it adds 10% to Light spell damage.

Main Weapon: Light Staff/Dark staff - this will help out a lot more in exp parties than the AF Hammer/Holy shield, the hammer/shield works fine if you were farming but thats about it.

Ammo: Holy Ampulla - cost about 40-50k on Serpah if I remember right, nice little mp bonus, will take you to 66 when you can get a Phantom Tathlum for the +10 mp.

Back: Aurora Mantle - I always liked + MP over + MND equipment, and this cape will take you to about 67 or 68.

Body: Holy Breastplate - I prefer this over a Tactician Magician's Coat, missing a +1 MND from it wont kill you, and the extra def is nice when farming. Can use this till 58 when you get AF body.

Earring: Bat Earring / Enhancing Earring Nothing that great, +10 mp bonus and +5 HP bonus, you can just use this setup till 67 when you can get Death Earrings (+10 Mp a piece).

Feet: Inferno Sabots - Not bad until you get AF boots.

Rings: 2x Electrum Ring or 2x Astral Rings If you have the money, dual Astral rings will be very nice (about 200k on Seraph though -.-) but if thats too rich for you, dual Electrum rings will do nicely. If you don't buy any Astral rings, when you hit 59 i suggest a Peace Ring, convets 10 HP to MP and -1 Enmity.

Hands: Custom Gloves - Hume RSE gloves will do until you can get your AF gloves, which will last to end game.

Head: Gold Hairpin - +30 mp, i would use this instead of AF cap, at lvl 70 i still use a gold hairpin, you could use a Noble's Crown at 66, but I still like the hairpin alot more.

Legs: Combat Caster's Slacks +2/Mage's Slops No really great pants until AF pants, CC slacks +2 are nice if you have the extra money.

Neck: Holy Phial - Very nice neck piece, I used this for a loooong time, Star Necklace is very nice if you can get a few friends to help you get it (rare/ex quest reward). Some people like the Promise Badge, but considering the price and no + mp, i found no use for it.

Waist: Oracle's Belt Nice + mp bonus, I liked this alot better than the Druid's Rope or a Adept's Rope.

If you get a huge flow of cash, you should get the shield if you want to do a lot of farming. I dont think you can really beat the hammer/shield combo for that.

As much as I hate the look of the af hat, i can't pass up the +4mnd from it when enfeebling along with the -1enimity.

Current setup

Weapon: No duh Light and Darkstaff, there is no other equal. I use Hammer and a basic Frost Shield for farming. However i am not sure about Wands for enfeebling in those parties with no RDM. Maybe the staves also cover this, i am not sure.

Shield: If your rich get Holy Shield...

Range: I use a Holy Ampulla like everyone else probably, i dont think its much a need to he honest...i dont notice too much a difference. It really feels like a luxery item somehow.

Head: I use Electrum Hairpin, i might switch to Gold later. However i feel that the AF Hat is better when enfeebling without a RDM in party. (My fungus hat is for looks in profile o.o)

Neck: Holy Phial...Promise badge has more MND but i rather you get an enfeebling torque/spider torque if your enfeebling so that makes promise badge imo suckage.

Earrings: Said...enhance and black for me.

Body: I use TM Coat, becuase i do not feel that DEF from a Holy Breastplate is worth the usage. In normal exp parties, a tank is usually able to take hits and keep hate, if not theres always stoneskin and blink imo.

Hand: I use Devotee's Mitts..but i dont know what Hume RSE stats are x-x

Leg: Argh i need to upgrade this but...so far i would just say Mage Slops =/

Feet: I use Moscassins, the reason being you need it for AF, and since your next AF piece is two lvls away i dont feel like paying for anything more expensive.

Ring: Mana ring is good, since it doesnt cut your HP and MP in anyway. Its +15MP with no -HP, so its not that bad(i think its cheaper than Electrum in Midgard), but its RARE so you can only have one. But else i would go Electrum.

Back: I use White Cape....i would go White Cape +1 but i have no idea how much it costs....never any in stock.

Waist: I still use Frair's Rope as a Taru with MP and MND boost, but i would say Adepts Rope is better for Hume.

My gear as a lvl 58 WHM:

Weapons: Light staff, Dark staff, Blessed Hammer. (I keep all 3 on me at all times)
Head: Healer's Cap. (54)
Body Armor: Holy Breastplate, Tct. Magicians Coat. (40,50)
Hands: Devotee Mitts (27)
Fingers: Saintly Ring x2 (14)
Waste: Friar's Rope. (14)
Legs: Healer's Pantaloons. (56)
Feet: Healer's Duckbills. (52)

U dont really need Holy Shield, id say it aint worth it, even when farming the little bit extra DEF aint that great since u got Protect, Holy Breastplate also gives alot more DEF than other jobs lvl 40 gear.
