The White Mage Topic

I think what Cedric-Archaon is referring to is all the spells you have to buy as a WHM (I really pity RDM in this regard lol). You do get some gil/items in group PT but it is by far not enough to cover all your spell costs. I'm level 20 now for example, and cure3 (level 21) costs about 6k, and raise (level 25) costs about 5-6k and both are very important WHM spells. Not to mention spells like protea2 and inviji which are also important. When I'm gil hunting I tend to get maybe 2k-3k gil per hour, and that's a high estimate. Spell costs only go up too, and on top of that you need to get new armor. Can be a bit annoying. There are other ways to make gil too tho which are probably faster than what I'm doing.

The in game loot distribution system works very well, basically you can roll on anything that drops, and gil is disrupted evenly. There's just not a lot of it when you level early on and divide it among 6 PT members.

If I'm successful with my Paladin then I'll make a female hume White Mage/Black Mage secondary character.

Count me in!

I'm certainly going to be a white mage for a bunch of reasons. First, there doesn't seem to be too many decicated white mages out there right now. I wanna stand out somehow. Second, I have always enjoyed helping people out in real life when its needed, so a white mage just seems to be the natural choice for me. Lying dead in the middle of nowhere? Don't respawn! The Imp King will be there to help ya out!


By the way, I've been thinking of starting a healer linkshell when the game's released. Something like "The White Mage Alliance", 'dedicated to helping those in need!'

Who's in?

Count me in too~~~~

Yea, I'm gonna be a WHM, since I always play the healer class in every MMORPG. It sounds like I'm gonna have to save every penny. It aggravates me a little, that this game seems to saddle the weakest solo class with one of the bigger money pits, in spell costs, but then again, I didn't play beta so who am I to comment... yet :p

I'm gonna be a white mage. I think it'll be a fun challenge.

White Mages.... Im gonna be a Black Mage/Summoner. Im just interested in learning about all the classes. I think being a White Mage would be pretty easy. All you have to do is heal and get spells. On EQ I have had people give me money so my necromancer could get healing spells (Which by the way suck.) So I'm sure some nice person would give money to a White Mage. I would... especially the cute Taurn Taurn girls. XD

WHITE MAGE QUESTION

I want to be a white mage but i'm new to this game so I have a few questions to ask:

1. This game has a sub job and main job, if i choose to be a white mage ( sub. job) what will be the good main job after I reach level 30?

2. I was thinking of making a white mage then become a summoner or beast tamer, is this a good combo?

3. Can I choose a white mage and use this profession or job all the way to level 70 without picking any other job?

can someone please give me a little advise? thanks in advance
