Alright, once I remake a new character, I'll add you.

It's probably going to be a bandit...Any tips on those?

[evilbutterfly]

My tip that nobody else will give: Do not make a banditsin. They're more expensive and more trouble than they are worth. Also, I highly recommend maxing Disorder. As a bandit with Savage Blow, you will attack in 6 separate hits, which means that any defense of the monster will be applied 6 times. Thus, Disorder (which lowers a monster's def) is 6 times more useful to a bandit.

Aside from that it's pretty simple.

[Tonberry_Kid]

Are strength bandits any good?

[evilbutterfly]

I'm pretty sure it's been proven (mathematically) that luck bandits are better no matter what. Go look for youself and see if you can find the thread, but there has been discussion on it plenty before. I did hear a long time ago that later on there are nothing but str daggers and that you eventually need str, but for now just add to luck and dex.

Alright thanks. Tomorrow, I'll make a new character.

Would anyone be willing to help me out with like money and getting me to level 10?

[Squeek]

So I scrolled my staff.

+6 int. 102 Magic Attack.

I'm 24% to level 28. I need to start seriously thinking whether I want to go Ice or Fire. I know I'm not going cleric because I don't really like to party a lot. I'm leaning towards ice.. any suggestions?

Poison/Fire do massive damaga, go with that since there are few Fire mages from FFR.

Haha! Their damage craps out around 50 where things start to outdamage them by a lot (and damage from poison is weak as hell and completely useless). I'd say go for ice/lit. There are already like 3-4 clerics I think, and I think that's enough, really. Ice is limitlessly useful and lightning can hit many things for decent damage.

PS there are quite a few firemages I think.

[evilbutterfly]

Fire mages have more money than lightning mages. :P If you pick Ice/Lightning, you will eventually regret it and wish you could the almost 3k damage that the fire mages your level are doing. If you pick Fire/Poison, you will eventually regret it and wish that you could hit 6 things at once and that you could freeze things you're fighting.

That practically reverses in 3rd job, though. I will suddenly be very glad to do massive damage to 6 things at once, while lightning mages will be very glad to do massive damage with thunder spear. Although, F/P comp prolly does more damage over time because of the poison, but once Ludi comes out and there are a bunch of higher leveled lightning-weak monsters, I/L mages will rock.

However, you said you don't like partying. Fire mages seem more like loners than ice/lightning mages. I dunno, that's just how it seems to me. Poison is pretty useless in a party, since party members won't wait 40 seconds for something to die. However, there is the lack of freezing ability, which limits your ability to solo things with magical attacks (like tauros) early on. However, fire mages that don't get poison have 11 extra points that can go on magic armor, which helps if you go solo much at all.

I hope this all helps you make your decision. o__O

[emccky]

I don't mind not being able to hit 6 things at once. I'm a dammage fiend. I love money. I'm going with fire. Thanks EB

[Tonberry_Kid]

Bandit is level 10. I'm too tired to play right now. I almost fell asleep on the keyboard lol.

[emccky]

alright.. at 50% to 28. I have a sudden urge to get my second job advance. I'll do the other 50% right now, get to 29 by tomorrow.. and hopefully have 30 by sometime mid next week.
