Black Mages - General Overview

The Black Mage is a character class that delves in the art of Black Magic.

Black Magic is primarily used for causing bodily harm to your enimies, by

means of spells that cause eruptions of elemental energy controled in the way

you see fit. Elemental magic, however, is not the only type of magic in the

arsenal of the Black Mage, he also gets spells to lower his enemy's abilities,

heal himself, and only himself, and restore his own MP, not to mention spells

to teleport to convenient locations, hid current Home Point or to the

enterance of a dungeon. Black Mages are indeed versatile characters.

Black Mage Combat

The fight sequence of a Black Mage is, generally, as follows:

1-Sit in the back and cast your 2nd or 3rd highest elemental spell.

2-Use then your Highest or second highest Elemental spell.

3-Wait for the fighters to attack and possibly taunt.

4-Continue to cast your good elemental spells.

5-Occasionaly wait for the fighters to draw some hate.

6-Cast more Elementals.

7-If you are ever attacked just sit there, casting will only draw more hate.

Note: Which elemental you should cast is also based on MP efficency and

Weaknesses of certain eements by the enemy. For example if a Stone I

costs 8 mp and does 20 damage to an enemy, yet a Water costing a bit more MP

does as much to some eniemies, thusly Stone is better for those enemies.

Also Note: In the beginning slightly weaker spells are used because the

Fighters need a chance to accumulate some hate, if you start out with your

best spell you are likely to be attacked.

The Black Mage and you- Black Mages interaction with other classes.

Inter-class relations is relatively simple with a Black Mage.

Class-Relation a Black mage has with them.

White Mage, Red Mage- The Black Mage has top-priority for curing.

Others- Take hits for the Black Mage, the Black Mage providing great damage in

exchange.

Black Mage Weapons

Now, time to look into equipment for a Black Mage, more specifically a

weapon. Most Black mages will choose a Club or Staff, yet there are other

weapon choices for a Black Mage. Here I wil present these choices.

Dagger:Pros- Fast attack speed, many daggers with status effects.

Cons- Weak damage, which means 0 damage as a Black Mage usually.

Staff:Pros- Moderate damage.

Cons- Slow Attack speed.

Club:Pros- Bonuses that help casting, moderately fast speed.

Cons- Weak damage.

My preference is a Club, since Black Mages wont attack once they start

partying, since the bonuses are quite good.

Black Mage spells- In Depth

Now a chance to look at some of the Black Mages basic sets of spells, the

primary use and objective having already being discussed here I will detail

some of thee basic spells.

Enfeebling:Bind- Holds the enemy, allows you to cast without geting hit.

Blind-Decreases attack accuracy, quite useful considering its MP cost.

Poison-Does damage over time, good but I prefer dia.

Sleep-Puts the enemy to sleep, good for running.

Shock, Burn- Lowers an enemy's stat and does damage over time.

Choke, Rasp, Drown- Same as Shock and Burn.

Enhancing:Elemental Spikes- Does Elemental damage when you're hit, not good.

Dark: Bio-Lowers attack and does damage over time, high MP cost.

Drain- Absorbs HP from the enemy, very good, long recharge time.

Aspir- Absorbs MP from the enemy, very good, long recharge time.

Elemental:All elemental- Incredibly Good, the spells you cast most.

Spirit: Warp- Instantly transports you to your home point, nifty!

Escape- Intsantly teleports your party to the enterance of a dungeon.

Black Mages on a Budget - What you should buy

As a Black MAge one should always consider their role in a party when

making any transaction. As a Black Mage you should spend very little on

armor, and even less on a weapon.

What not to buy:

Armor in excess, no need to get new armor whenever you can afford better, only buy

new armor every once in a while.

New weapons in excess, same as armor, also you should buy your weapon based

on what bonuses to stats they give rather than damage.

What to buy:

Elemental spells, buy these with top priority.

I) What is a White Mage? -The general Facts of White Mages.

The White Mage is a character class that delves in the art of White Magic. White Magic is primarily used for curing ailments of all kinds, be it a physical wound or some other ailment. White magic serves a secondary purpose, however it is not as important. The White Mage is usually the one to use enhancing spells on the part, making it eaier to fight in yet another way; No party is not complete without this class most valuable, for what party could survive without this masterful healing?

II) Average fight as a White Mage - General Strategical requirements of a White Mage.

The fight sequence of a White Mage is, generally, as follows:

1. Directly before the fight cast Protectra, if it has wore off.
   
   
2. Cast Dia on the Monster if there is no Red Mage.
   
   
3. Serve as the primary healer, healing whenever necessary.
   
   
4. If ever the enemy doe a good area of effect spell, use a Curaga.
   
   
5. The fight having been completed Raise any fallen comrades.

Note: Which Cure you should use is based off MP efficency, To calculate which should be used:

1. Use all of your Cure spells.
   
   
2. See how much they heal for.
   
   
3. Divide how much they healed for by the ammount of MP it costs.
   
   
4. This number is the HP healed per MP used.
   
   
5. Compare the results, also take into consideration the speed, for it takes longer to cast two Cure I's then it does to do a Cure II, so if your party needs life desperately use your highest heal.

III) The White Mage and you - White Mages interaction with other classes.

Inter-class relations is relatively simple with a White Mage.

Class - Relation a White mage has with them.

Red Mage - The Red Mage eases up your healing duty.

Black Mage - Your top priority for curing.

Tanks - Take hits for the White Mage, the White Mage providing healing in exchange.



Others - Heal them while when they take hate occassionally, also most classes in this category benefit greatly from Haste.

IV) The White Mage and the Rest - Getting blamed for every death.

In the beta in many partys I played in, I was blamed for most deaths, unless it was truly some one else's fault and they were then verbaly repremanded. Usually it is nobody's fault that somebody has died, but if there is fault to be had it usually lies with the person tha was killed, assumming you did your job as a White Mage. This blame for every death eventually ceases itself as you gain levels and play with more educated people, however even having to suffer with this for an hour of playing would be too much for my liking. The only other problem you'll hav with other players is getting invited and recieving /tells constantly, which is a mixed blessing. When you are looking for a party this will be very benificial, yet when you are not it will get quite annoying. The solution, Go Annon. If you type /annon you will become anonymous, thusly your job and level wont show, eliminaating most of the /tells.

V) Weapons for a White Mage - Choosing a weapon for a White Mage.

Now, time to look into equipment for a White Mage, more specifically a weapon. Most White mages will choose a Club or Staff, yet there are other weapon choices for a White Mage. Here I wil present these choices.



Staff:

• Pros - Moderate damage, some great high level staves.
  
  
• Cons - Slow Attack speed.

Club

• :Pros - Bonuses that help casting, moderately fast speed.
  
  
• Cons - Weak damage.

My preference is a Club, since White Mages wont attack once they start partying, since the bonuses are quite good.

VI) White Mage spells - A more in-depth view of spells.

Now a chance to look at some of the White Mages basic sets of spells, the primary use and objective having already being discussed here I will detail some of thee basic spells.



Enfeebling:

• Dia - Lowers defense and does damage over time, use this every fight.
  
  
• Paralize - Occassionaly loses ability to act, good but blind is better. Flash-Lowers of hate.

Enhancing:

• Protect - Raises defense by an ammount varying on spell level, Protect I is 10 defense while II is 25, etc, lasts a while, keep it on constantly.
  
  
• Protectra - Same as protect but affects all allies in range, buy this.
  
  
• Shell - Raises resistance to magic, also good but not as good as protect.
  
  
• Regen-Constantly regenerates life, very good but doesn't last long.
  
  
• Sneak, Deodor, and Invisible - Allows you to go undetected by enemies.
  
  
• Bar spells - Raises party's resistance to one element or status effect.
  
  
• Stoneskin - Absorbs damage, no max per hit, just a max total.
  
  
• Blink - Absorbs an ammount the ammount per hit and total ammount are affected by you enhancing skill and Mind.
  
  
• Haste - Reduces between attacks, great for high damamge melee units!

Healing:

• Cure - A necessity, allows you to heal yourself or your party.
  
  
• Curaga - Heals yourself and your party at once.

Divine:

• Banish - Does Divine damage to a target, not enough damage.
  
  
• Holy - Does Divine damage to a target, quite nice.
  
  
• Teleport - Teleports you to the crag of the spells name.
  
  

VII) Balancing a White Mages Budget - What you should buy.

As a White Mage one should always consider their role in a party when making any transaction. As a White Mage you should spend very little on armor, and even less on a weapon.



What not to buy:

Armor in excess, no need to get new armor whenever you can afford better, only buy new armor every once in a while, Holy and divine armor are two nice White Mage only pieces of armor.

New weapons in excess, same as armor, also you should buy your weapon based on what bonuses to stats they give rather than damage.



What to buy:

Cure Spells, buy these with top priority.

All other spells.

IX) Epilogue - A reflection to White Mages.

White Mage, a class that is revered for it's ability to heal better than any other class can. Every party has a White Mage unless it cannot find one, in which case one would usually wait around searching for one. So what does this mean for a White Mage? Never having to long search for a party, never having to sit idle for extended periods of time for want of a healer. The ability to cure is a highly sought one that is not over-rated, for with every functional higher level party there is a White Mage. This FAQ may have glorified the White Mage yet this was not the purpose; the purpose of this FAQ was to inform the populous of White Mages and help new White Mages make informed decisions, in this most of all I hope I was successful. I hope everybody enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed making it.

Red Mage Guide

I) A Red Mage in perspective - The general Facts of Red Mages.

The Red Mage is a character class that delves in the art of Black and White magic. This may seem a unbalanced class, especially once you consider that he can fight with weapons much better than Specialty Mages, yet he isn't, the reason for this is that he gets most of his spells at a higher level then Specialty Mages, and some spells he never gets. Of every spell in the game that is casted by Specialty and by Red Mages that a Red Mage can cast first are the Dia spells. This may seem to nullify the power of the Red Mage for he gets most enfeebling spells at only a slightly higher level than White or Black Mage. Most he gets only 2-3 levels after a specialty mage, and he gets near all enfeebling spells. Their other strong point is Enhancing. Most enhancing spells Red mages get at nearly the same level as their specialty counterparts, however there is an exception, single target enhancing skills that do so much better for a Red Mage, examples include Blink, Blaze, Ice, and shock spikes, and similar spells. The reason these are at a later level for a RDM is because they are significantly better for a Red Mage, why does a White mage really need blink, their goal is to never attract hate anyway, however a Red Mage occasionally tries to draw hate, and here are worthful. A Red Mage in summary specializes in Enhancing and Enfeebling.



------------------------------------------------------------------

II) Your objective as a Red Mage in a party - General Strategical requirements of a Red Mage.

The fight sequence of a Red Mage is, generally, as follows:

1. Use enfeebling magic on them, before lvl 20 this is usually Dia and blind.
   
   
2. At low level attack, at higher level just sit back with the other mages.
   
   
3. Serve as a back-up healer.
   
   
4. If a specialty mage ever gets hit heal them,so they dont get hate from healing more.
   
   
5. Occasionaly Re-enfeeble them if its a long fight, usually not necessary.
   
   
6. Keep refresh on the other mages, if you are high enough to cast it.

Note: Steps 4-6 are not chronological, and are situation based.



------------------------------------------------------------------

III) The Red Mage and you - Red Mages interaction with other classes.

Inter-class relations is relatively simple with a Red Mage.



Class-Relation a Red mage has with them.



White Mage, Black Mage - Red Mages jobs are to lessen the casting for both other mages, and to keep them refreshed at high level.



Others- Provide cures for them, can also take a hit for them occasionaly.



As one can see a Red Mage mostly interacts with the mages in his party.



------------------------------------------------------------------

IV) The Red Mage and the Rest - The claim that Red Mages are Jack of all trades, master of none.

In the beta, and in those following the game slightly in locales where this game hasn't been released yet, it's popular belief that Red Mages are near worthless, this was soon not the case near the end of the beta for people realized that Red Mages were a valuable member to a party. This misconception feeds on ignorance, so if you start out the game like I did you may have trouble finding a party, people looking for a healer and shunning you because "Red Mages suck at healing". This is a common misconception. Many new players of FF XI believe that Red mages master nothing, however they are the masters of enhancing and enfeebling. Don't let this discourage you from being a Red Mage because soon enough after release people will realize that they have misjudged Red Mages.



------------------------------------------------------------------

V) A Red Mage and his sword - Choosing a weapon for a Red Mage.

Now, time to look into equipment for a Red Mage, more specifically a weapon. Most Red mages will choose a sword, such as me for example, yet it is not as easy a decision as one may think it an easy choice, yet it is not so, here I will present pros and cons of the three good weapon choices for a Red Mage, then order them in my own personal opinion.

1. One-Handed Sword
   
   Pros: Best damage for a Red Mage weapon, moderately fast attack.
   
   Cons:Lack of swords with bonuses to casting stats, Red
   
   
2. Club
   
   Pros: Nice bonuses to help casting.
   
   Cons: Rather bad damage.
   
   
3. Dagger
   
   Pros: Fast attack speed, makes the best of En- spells.
   
   Cons: Weak damage.

My preference, in order: One-handed sword, Club, Dagger.



------------------------------------------------------------------

VI) A Red Mage and his spells - A more in-depth view of spells.

Now a chance to look at some of the Red Mages basic sets of spells, the primary use and objective having already being discussed here I will detail some of thee basic spells.



Enfeebling:

• Dia - Lowers defense and does damage over time, use this every fight.
  
  
• Blind - Decreases attack accuracy, quite useful considering its MP cost.
  
  
• Paralize - Occassionaly loses ability to act, good but blind is better.
  
  
• Poison - Does damage over time, good but I prefer dia.
  
  
• Bind - Prevents Enemy from moving, good for casting other spells.
  
  
• Dispel - Removes beneficial status effects from enemy, Red Mage only.
  
  
• Gravity - Slows the enemy's movement, Red Mage only.

Enhancing:

• Protect - Raises defense by 10, lasts a while, keep it on constantly.
  
  
• Shell - Raises resistance to magic, also good but not as good as protect.
  
  
• Regen - Constantly regenerates life, very good but doesn't last long.
  
  
• Sneak, Deodor, and Invisible - Allows you to go undetected by enemies.
  
  
• En spells - Add elemental damage to your weapon, adds 5 usually; ok.
  
  
• Bar spells - Raises resistance to one element or status effect.
  
  
• Stoneskin - Makes attacks do less damage, great for the occasional solo.
  
  
• Phalanx - Makes all attacks do less damage, great for solo fights.
  
  
• Refresh - Constantly regenerates MP, excellent; Best RDM only spell.
  
  
• Elemental Spikes - Does Elemental Damage to enemies whenever they hit.

Healing:

• Cure - A necessity, allows you to heal yourself or your party.

Dark:

• Bio - Lowers attack and does damage over time, high MP cost.

Elemental:

• All elemental - Good for a bit of extra damage, usually a waste.

Divine:

• Red Mages get a divine skill, but no divine spells!

------------------------------------------------------------------

VII) Balancing a Red Mages Budget - What you should buy.

The Red Mage is one of the most expensive classes, since they have more spells than any other class to buy. I would suggest skipping the following spells, unless you find them particular useful for what you hunt. All of the Bar-Element spells.



All but one or two En- spells, eventually you'll want them, at level 20 having 3 is a waste.



Swords between levels 1-9, quest for a Sapara in Port Bastok, then buy a Royal Archer Sword.



Don't buy any items with Conquest Points until you can get level 30 gear, as anything lower is only slightly better their normal equivalent, with the exception of Legionnaire's gauntlets and Royal Footman's Gloves, which I recommend buying with gil.



Hats, Quest for A compound eye circlet, lvl 9 head slot, it is a very good Helmet, decent DEF and +5 evasion.



What you should definitely buy:



All other spells.

Armor, usually warrior type armor.



------------------------------------------------------------------

VIII) Questing as a Red Mage - Highly rewarding quests for Red Mages.

Windurst:

Star Onion Brigade quest series, Behind the Warehouse in port Windurst.

Do these for the Justice Badge and Blaze spikes;Note:Do they first quest ASAP.



Manustary quest series, Manustary in Windurst Woods.

Bastok:

Powhatan quests, Steaming sheep Restaurant Port Bastok.

------------------------------------------------------------------

IX) Epilogue - A reflection to Red Mages.

Red Mages, a class considering interesting by many, yet not many take up the calling, the call to be a Red Mage. Many see this as almost a novelty class, yet after playing they will soon realize it is not a novelty, rather a useful and viable class. This class, however, should not be the profession of anybody that isn't looking for a challenge. This FAQ may have glorified the Red Mage yet this was not the purpose; the purpose of this FAQ was to inform the populous of Red Mages and help new Red Mages make informed decisions, in this most of all I hope I was successful. I hope everybody enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed making it. -Hope This Helped,

  Introduction

  
  
  I made this because I looked for a stealing guide but was not successfull. I realize how much of a pain it is to steal, due to the 5 minute delay and the low sucsess rate, but for those who do steal I hope this helps you. I do take requests for monsters I don't have, but keep in mind that it is difficult to get from one end of the world to the other just to try and steal from a monster that will most likely kill me directly after I try.
  
  
  
  My home town is San D'oria, so keep that in mind if I don't have the info on monsters near Bastok and Windurst quite yet. After I hit Valkrum Dunes I'll do Konschat and make my way to Bastok.
  
  
  
  Do not email me about monsters you have stolen from. I only write what I have seen personaly.

FFXI Race Review

Hume Originating from the Bastok region, Humes have spread to the farthest reaches of Vana'diel. This race is characterized by its equally balanced abilities, moderate intelligence, and high level of skill in numerous areas. This combination of traits has played a large role in Bastok's growth into a prosperous nation of technology and industry. Elvaan A race of proud warriors, The Elvaan are the founders of two legendary orders of knights in the nation of San d'Oria. Physically, they are characterized by their tall, slender bodies and pointed ears. Their unshakable pride and faith in their beliefs is visible in each of their determined faces. Both males and females of the race excel in swordsmanship. Most Elvaan seem to eschew the business world, preferring an austere lifestyle as skilled swordfighters. Tarutaru The Tarutaru are a race of skilled magic users who call Windurst their home. Although the Tarutaru physically resemble children, their size does not reflect their age. Masters of the magical arts, the Tarutaru have honed their abilities through dutiful study of the world around them. Their dedication and hard work fueled the rapid reconstruction of Windurst after its destruction in the Crystal War. The Tarutaru enjoy a friendly relationship with the Mithra, who call Windurst their home as well. Galka The Galka are a hulking race of powerful warriors. The Galka's capital city, located in the Altepa desert of Zepwell Island in the southwest corner of the Quon continent, fell to an attack from giant ant creatures six hundred years ago. The surviving Galka spread throughout Vana'diel, and a large number of them eventually settled in Bastok. The sheer strength of their powerful physiques is second to none. They have used their skills to contribute to the construction and development of the numerous mines in Bastok. However, it seems that some Galka have less than fond feelings for members of the Hume race. Mithra The Mithra are a predominantly female race of hunters who live alongside the Tarutaru in Windurst. They are easily identified by their characteristic ears, which give them spectacular hearing ability, and their long tails, which result in an unparalleled sense of balance. They are known for their energy, curiosity, and their penchant for causing playful mischief. The Mithra enjoy a friendly relationship with the Tarutaru, and this attitude of mutual cooperation has made Windurst a nation of peace and prosperity.

Black Mage Guide

I) What is a Black Mage? - The general Facts of Black Mages.

The Black Mage is a character class that delves in the art of Black Magic. Black Magic is primarily used for causing bodily harm to your enimies, by means of spells that cause eruptions of elemental energy controled in the way you see fit. Elemental magic, however, is not the only type of magic in the arsenal of the Black Mage, he also gets spells to lower his enemy's abilities, heal himself, and only himself (by means of draining enemy HP), and restore his own MP(by draining enemy MP), not to mention spells to teleport to convenient locations, like your current Home Point or to the enterance of a dungeon. Black Mages are indeed versatile characters.



-------------------------------------------------------------------

II) Average fight as a Black Mage - General Strategical requirements of a Black Mage.

The fight sequence of a Black Mage is, generally, as follows:

1. Sit in the back and cast your 2nd or 3rd highest elemental spell.
   
   
2. Use then your Highest or second highest Elemental spell.
   
   
3. Wait for the fighters to attack and possibly taunt.
   
   
4. Continue to cast your good elemental spells.
   
   
5. Occasionaly wait for the fighters to draw some hate.
   
   
6. Cast more Elementals.
   
   
7. If you are ever attacked just sit there, casting will only draw more hate.

Note: Which elemental you should cast is also based on MP efficency and Weaknesses of certain elements by the enemy. For example if a Stone I costs 8 mp and does 20 damage to an enemy, yet a Water costing a bit more MP does as much to some eniemies, thusly Stone is better for those enemies.

Also Note: In the beginning slightly weaker spells are used because the Fighters need a chance to draw hate, if you start out with your best spell you are likely to be attacked.



-------------------------------------------------------------------

III) The Black Mage and you - Black Mages interaction with other classes.

Inter-class relations is relatively simple with a Black Mage.

Class - Relation a Black mage has with them.

White Mage, Red Mage - The Black Mage generally has top-priority for curing, as they cannot take many hits.

Tanks - Take hits for the Black Mage, the Black Mage providing great damage in exchange.



Others - Little interaction with Black Mages, other than telling him before you start a skillchain.



-------------------------------------------------------------------

IV) The Black Mage and the Rest - The assumption that it is easy to be a Black Mage.

In the beta, and in those following the game slightly in locales where this game hasn't been released yet, it's popular belief that Black Mages are near an easy class to play, however this is not so. being a successful Black Mage requires a great deal of planning and skill, especially once partys get demanding on the Black Mage to be able to do an MB or two with every Skillchain, which is a rather hard feat to do, requiring practice and good timing. These assumptions of an easy to play class that does the best damage create many low-level characters that try to be a Black Mage and quite a few of them failing, and reverting to a combat oriented job. Due to this the beta community had a shortage of high level Black Mages, a shortage that caused frustration to many as they could not find a Black Mage for their party. Black Mages eventually become a necessity for every party, for they are the ones that do the damage.



-------------------------------------------------------------------

V) Weapons for a Black Mage - Choosing a weapon for a Black Mage.

Now, time to look into equipment for a Black Mage, more specifically a weapon. Most Black mages will choose a Club or Staff, yet there are other weapon choices for a Black Mage. Here I wil present these choices.

Dagger:

• Pros - Fast attack speed.
  
  
• Cons - Weak damage, which means 0 damage as a Black Mage usually.

Staff:

• Pros - Moderate damage, great high level staves.
  
  
• Cons - Slow Attack speed.

Club:

• Pros - Bonuses that help casting, moderately fast speed.
  
  
• Cons - Weak damage.

My preference is a Club, since Black Mages wont attack once they start partying, since the bonuses are quite good. Later on some staves are stellar tho so you may want to check them out as well, such as the Dark Staff.



-------------------------------------------------------------------

VI) Black Mage spells - A more in-depth view of spells.

Now a chance to look at some of the Black Mages basic sets of spells, the primary use and objective having already being discussed here I will detail some of the basic spells.



Enfeebling:

• Bind - Holds the enemy, allows you to cast without geting hit.
  
  
• Blind - Decreases attack accuracy, quite useful considering its MP cost.
  
  
• Poison - Does damage over time, good but I prefer dia.
  
  
• Sleep - Puts the enemy to sleep, good for running.
  
  
• Shock, Burn, Choke, Drown - Lowers an enemy's stat and does damage over time. Also lowers an enemies resistance to one element; Note, you can only have one of these on at once.

Enhancing:

• Elemental Spikes - Does Elemental damage when you're hit, not good.

Dark:

• Bio - Lowers attack and does damage over time, high MP cost.
  
  
• Drain - Absorbs HP from the enemy, very good, long recharge time.
  
  
• Aspir - Absorbs MP from the enemy, very good, long recharge time.

Elemental:

• All elemental - Incredibly Good, the spells you cast most.

Spirit:

• Warp - Instantly transports you to your home point, nifty!
  
  
• Escape - Intsantly teleports your party to the enterance of a dungeon.
  
  
• Warp - Instantly Teleports you to your homepoint.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

VII) Balancing a Black Mages Budget - What you should buy.

As a Black Mage one should always consider their role in a party when making any transaction. As a Black Mage you should spend very little on armor, and even less on a weapon.



What not to buy:

Armor in excess, no need to get new armor whenever you can afford better, only buy new armor every once in a while.

New weapons in excess, same as armor, also you should buy your weapon based on what bonuses to stats they give rather than damage.



What to buy:

Elemental spells, buy these with top priority.

All other spells.



-------------------------------------------------------------------

VIII) Questing for a Black Mage - Highly rewarding quests for Black Mages.

Windurst:

Aspir Quest, Fuepepe; Aurastery, Windurst Waters. Gives the spell Aspir.



Star Onion Brigade quests, Behind the Warehouse in Windurst Woods. Do these for the Blaze spikes.



Note: Do the first two quests ASAP.



Compound Eye Circlet Quest, Koru-Moru's Manor in Windurst Walls.



Shantotto quests,Shantotto's Manor, Windurst Walls.

Do these for a Hypno Staff, Warp II, and some other stuff.



Hypno Staff Quest, Paku-Nakku, Aurastery Roof, Windurst Waters.

Only if you wish to use a staff.



Bastok:

Warp quest, Unlucky Rat; Cement Factory, Bastok Metalworks.

Gives the spell Warp.



Sandoria:

Drain quest, Novalmauge; Dungeon under the Chateau.

Gives the spell Drain



-------------------------------------------------------------------

IX) Epilogue - A reflection to Black Mages.

Black Mage, a class that is very versitile and dangerous. Most believe that it will be easy to play a Black Mage, yet it is not so; For to play a successful Black Mage one must have wits and one must play not as a self, but as a team.This FAQ may have glorified the Black Mage yet this was not the purpose; the purpose of this FAQ was to inform the populous of Black Mages and help new Black Mages make informed decisions, in this most of all I hope I was successful. I hope everybody enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed making it.

-Hope This Helped,

1.6) Basic Beastmaster info

Beastmasters are the experts of solo playing. You can group, but I will get to that later. You can solo though, at pretty much any level. The main ability that allows BSTs to do this is the charm ability. This puts a monster under the BSTs control, and will fight for the BST aslong as it remains charmed. Charmed pets will eventually turn on their master, but the more charisma you have, the longer the monster stays your pet, and the easier it is to charm monsters. At higher levels it is wise to not try to charm anything past "Even match" (found out by checking) because tough mobs, if charmed at all, tend to turn on their master rather quickly. Also its important to know that pets that become uncharmed, do not give EXP when killed.



Now, to get to the party info. BSTs do great damage per second (DPS) with a pet, but there is a big problem (mainly for the BST), you get a 30% exp cut from having a pet! This generally means that you will prefer going solo unless you choose not to charm a pet, thus killing your DPS and making you somewhat useless in the party, depending on your sub job.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



1.7.)Beastmasters in Parties

With a pet, Beastmasters do amazing Damage Per Second. But the problem is they take a hit in the exp department no matter what. But even if the Beastmaster doesn't want to charm a pet, they still make decent tanks. Not the best, but not horrible by any means.



They can wear great armor, so their defense should be high enough so they dont take major damage. With a WAR sub, they will have even better defense, but WAR is pretty much needed to tank. The only real trouble is keeping hate. BSTs dont create that much hate with their damage, since they only use 1 handed axes, but provoke can keep the mobs on them.



A real bonus from a BST tank though are the "-- Killer" job traits. Assuming your party is going after anything that is effected by any of the BSTs traits, there is a chance that the mob will not be able to attack the BST. It'll look something like this.... "So and so was intimidated by Whats his face". This pretty much acts like a shield block and negates all the damage since the mob can't attack.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



1.8) Role of the Beastmaster

The role of a BST, is to kill stuff. This can either be done alone or in a group. Alone, the main role of a BST is to tame monsters, and have them fight for him/her. Other then that, what else they do is determined by their sub job. Most of the BST skills are related to melee and charming monsters.



Now, to clarify how the BST effects exp in a group. If the BST charms anything below Tough, the only exp affected is the BSTs, and its still the basic 30% cut that BSTs should be used to. But if a BST charms a Tough or higher, the pet acts as a member of the party, and since its at a higher lvl, it cuts the whole parties exp.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



1.9.) Why the Beastmaster is the best solo job

Charm has been somewhat proven to be based on CHR. So why wouldnt a BRD/BST or WHM/BST be just as good at soloing as a BST since they have CHR on par with a BST? Well try assisting your pet in melee combat with a BRD or WHM. You can't buff your pet with songs or spells, so really the only thing you can do is melee attack, debuff the enemy, and use your pet skills. Not only do you get your pet skills alot later with BST as a sub, but your melee damage is going to suck. Not to mention, if you get the hate, you wont be able to take many hits, since BRDs and WHMs don't have armor on par with a BST.



Anyother job doesnt seem to have the CHR to charm effectively even with a BST sub, so no one can really argue that the BST is the best solo job out there.

2.2) How to unlock the Beastmaster job

MUST BE LEVEL 30 TO OBTAIN THE QUEST!

Quest Giver: Dietmund

Location: Lower Jeuno (G-11)

Dietmund is located at top door near the entrance of Lower Jeuno. He comes out of the door when it is opened. To do the quest, wait till it is night. (18:00 - 4:00). Go to the edge of the cliff at Qufim at F-8. There is a path leading down to the item. Once at bottom, a Kraken can be seen, but sometimes it isn't even there! If it is, either try to get a group to take it down or sneak past it using various WHM spells, such as Sneak, Invisibility and Deoderize. Go back and talk to Dietmund and then talk to Brutus near the chocobo stables in Upper Jueno. After all that, the job of the Beastmaster is given.

HP: +2

MP: +0

STR: +0

DEX: +1

Evade is above average but not by much

Shield is below average but not by much

Parry is above average but not by much

At lower lvls, your combat skills wont be drastically different then say for example, a WAR, but at later lvls, you will notice a larger difference.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



2.8) Beastmaster Macro assistance

Creating macros for a Beastmaster are VERY helpful, since it will become tire-some constantly selecting Pet abilities from the menu. Lets get started.



For a pet ability, use

/pet "Ability Name" <pet>



for job abilities, use

/ja "Job Ability Name" <me> or <t>

the <me> or <t> depends on what the skill is used, for example, for heal, use <me> but for calm, use <t>



for weapons skills, use

/ws "Name of the Weapon Skill" <t>



for good renkei ws macros, do something like

/p USING "NAME OF WEAPON SKILL" IN 3! <call1>

/wait 3

/ws "Name of the Weapon Skill" <t>



Now, if you end up subbing a job with magic, you can use magic macros

/ma "Name of Magic" <me> or <t>

again, the <me> or <t> depends on the type of magic, curative or destructive.



for other macro assistance, see the macro faq.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



2.9) Leveling Assistance

For a Beastmaster, you probably will do alot of solo playing, so it can be kind of hard to make a cookie cutter leveling guide. The main thing that changes how you will be leveling is what sub job your sporting, because it will have different effects on your skills and how you can solo. There are basically two ways of leveling your Beastmaster while soloing

1. Charm a mob, and attack other pets at the same as your mob. This allows for less downtime, since you and your pet will be doing damage. But you will have to put up with an annoying exp decrease, but it isn't that bad. This is generally the easiest and safest way to level, aslong as your pet stays charmed. Thats not a big problem if you have high charisma though. A good way to do this is to charm a Decent Challenge, and then you can exp chain up to 3 evens, as long as they don't link and you can find them fast enough.
   
   
2. Charming a mob, and having your pet solo a mob thats slightly stronger, and debuffing the strong mob with magic so that your pet can get in alot of damage before it dies. This way of leveling is alot riskier. Not only do you have to make sure your pet dies, but you have to make sure your pet atleast did enough damage to allow you to finish off the mob. The easiest and safest way of doing this is to charm an Even Match and have it attack a Tough. Then use spells or skills to give your pet any kind of advantage. Hopefully your pet will get the mob down to HP low enough for you to finish off the mob with few problems. This generally means more down time, but you get higher exp from the kills.

If anyone else has some good tips they would like to share, feel free to drop me a line, and I will put it into this faq.





===============================================================================

3.0) Job, Sub job, and race information

===============================================================================



3.2) Race information

For a Beastmaster, charisma is the most important stat, since it governs how easily you charm mobs, and how long they stayed charmed for. Because of this, Galkas and Mithras make the worst solo playing Beastmaster. They are playable, just not the best since they have poor charisma. Humes, Elvaans, and Taru Tarus make the best since they have the highest charisma. So, Im going to focus on those three classes.



Hume:

They make very well rounded BSTs, because if you end up subbing WHM, they make good use of the mage skills, but also make decent warriors. Very well rounded and they make a nice choice for BST.



Elvaan:

They make better melee BSTs, but if they sub WHM, they have poor MP. They have higher HP, and STR then humes, making them better for melee damage and tanking. They have lower MP though, so they can really make much use of WHM spells.



Taru Taru:

They make for some decent BSTs, since they have alot more MP the either of the other two races, but they make poor warriors. Because of this, they will spend more time in the back casting suppost magic, assuming their sub is WHM.



Now, the other two races do not make poor Beastmasters, but they have to equip more items that add to charisma, since they don't have much of their own. Galkas have the most HP, so they can tank nicely, and Mithra have more dex and agility, so they hit and dodge a good amount. But I would prefer one of the other races since they have higher charisma.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



3.4) Sub job decision

Since you need to be level 30 to even acquire the BST job, you should make good use of your sub job. So, I will take the time to go down the list. Also, since version update 1.1 to 1.2, I have added a list of all the spells/abilities you can have as that sub job. For now, the cap for your sub is lvl 37, since the max for main is lvl 75. Also, the lvls shown are what lvl as a BST (main job) you will get the abilities/traits/magic.



Sub jobs:



Warrior:

Warrior makes a good sub job if you plan to party as a BST, since BST have a good amount of defense, and you can pull. Playing solo though, it doesn't add much. You can provoke mobs off of your pets, you will be stronger and do better damage then usual, and you will also get Double Attack, which is rather nice to have.

Job abilities:

Provoke: lvl 10

Berserk: lvl 30

Defender:lvl 50

War Cry: lvl 70



Job Traits:

Defense Up: lvl 20

Resist Virus: lvl 30

Double Attack: lvl 50

Attack Up: lvl 60

Resist Virus: lvl 70



Thief:

This Combo isn't that bad. Since you can send a pet in first then follow up with a sneak attack. This combo will tend to be on the rich side, since they get all the treasure since they solo, and the treasure they get is amplified by the thief skills. This also is a decent choice if you plan to party as a BST, since you can use sneak and trick attack.

Job abilities:

Steal: lvl 10

Sneak Attack: lvl 30

Flee: lvl 50

Trick Attack: lvl 50

Pick Pocket: lvl 70



Job Traits:

Gil Steal: lvl 10

Evasion Up: lvl 20

Treasure Hunter: lvl 30

Resist Gravity: lvl 40

Evasion Up: lvl 60



Monk:

Monk makes an ok sub, but not very benefical. It adds a good amount of HP, which is helpful for solo, but the hand-to-hand skills are completely useless. Counter is nice, but everything else is wasted. The only pluss is the nice HP boost.

Job abilities:

Boost: lvl 10

Dodge: lvl 30

Focus: lvl 50

Chakra: lvl 70



Job Traits:

Martial Arts: lvl 1

Counter: lvl 20

Hp Boost: lvl 30

Martial Arts: lvl 50

Hp Boost: lvl 70



Blackmage:

Poor sub job. Low MP, very few nuking magic, and no skills or stat boosts that really help you as a BST. The various "- Spike" spells are kinda nice to have since most of the time, if you engage an enemy at the same time as your pet, your the one who is going to be tanking since pets don't hold hate to well. This might not be too bad for early levels, but it isn't the best for early levels either. Best pick something else.

Whitemage:

Most BSTs will agree, this is the best sub job you can have as a BST. Being able to use curative magic is the main thing for this sub. Youll have less down time per kill meaning faster exp.

Redmage:

Not too bad a sub, but not the best either. You get the En-spells, which add elemental damage to your weapons, you get fewer curative spells, and you get some more buff/debuffing spells. The stat boosts aren't anything special.

Job Traits:

Precaution: lvl 10

Accuracy Boost: lvl 20

Bard:

This actually isn't too bad a choice for a sub job. It adds ALOT of charisma, but the songs are kind of gimped, since you can't equip an instrument. Not to bad of a choice though.

Job Ability:

NONE! yeah... no job abilties earned with this combo >.<



Job Traits:

Resist Silence: lvl 10

Resist Silence: lvl 50

Pian III: lvl 70

Light Carol: lvl 72

Requiem III: lvl 74



Dark Knight:

Nothing special here, good melee stat boosts, but nothing else. The traits and abilities don't add anything very benefical, and neither is the BLM, since not only do you have to deal with lower MP from sub, but DRKs dont have very much to begin with.

Job Abilities:

Arcane Circle: lvl 10

Last Resort: lvl 30

Weapon Bash: lvl 40

Darkness: lvl 60



Job Traits:

Attack Up: lvl 20

Resist Paralysis: lvl 40

Tractor: lvl 64

Absorb CHR: lvl 66

Thunder I: lvl 70

Absorb VIT: lvl 70

Absorb AGI: lvl 74



Paladin:

Defense up traits, and other melee job abilties and traits just make you a gimp tank, and the half level white magic isnt that helpful since you will have poor MP with PLD as a sub. Nothing that boosts your main abilities.

Job Abilities:

Holy Circle: lvl 10

Shield Bash: lvl 30

Sentinel: lvl 60

Protect: lvl 70



Job Traits:

Undead Killer: lvl 10

Defense Up: lvl 20

Resist sleep: lvl 40

Protect I: lvl 20

Cure II: lvl 34

Shell I: lvl 40

Cure III: lvl 60

Protect II: lvl 60

Banish: lvl 68



Ninja:

Ninjitsu is always helpful, but very expensive. Dual Wield doesn't help too much since you wouldn't be able to equip a shield if you had two weapons. Again, not to great of a choice.

Job Abilities:

Again... no job abilties gained from this subjob. >.<



Job Traits:

Stealth: lvl 10

Resist Bind: lvl 10

Dual Wield: lvl 10

*



Ninjitsu:*



Samurai:

Nice boost to TP gain, but if you play solo, you wont be doing many renkeis anyways. Otherwise, nothing special.

Job Abilities:

Demon Circle: lvl 10

Heart Eye: lvl 30

Silent Concentration: lvl 60



Job Traits:

Resist Blind: lvl 10

Store TP: lvl 20



Dragoon:

Ewwwwwwwww. Bad choice. This job generally makes a bad subjob, because its main strength is summoning the Wyrven, but if its your sub, you won't be able too. No reason at all to sub Dragoon.

Job Abilities:

Enchant Circle: lvl 10

Jump: lvl 20

High Jump: lvl 70



Job Traits:

Attack Up: lvl 20

Dragon Killer: lvl 50

Hirate Up: lvl 60



Summoner:

Uh, you won't be getting anything good from this. You will have a good amount of MP, but it won't do you any good with half level summons and no spells to cast. Not only will the half level summons suck, but they make it so you cant charm, since you can only have one pet >.<

Job Abilities:

Attack: lvl 1

Call: lvl 1

Release: lvl 1

Those are all pet abilties I might add that correspond to your summon.



Job Traits:

MP Max Up: lvl 20

Resist Slow: lvl 40

Auto Refresh: lvl 50



Summons:

All summons are gained via quests (the summons that have been seen in past FF games) or via scrolls (elementals) and are all lvl 1. So Im just going to go down the list.



Carbuncle

Ifrit

Garuda

Leviathan

Ramuh

Titan

Shiva



The elemental summons are just based on magic elements, i.e. Water Element.

3.5) Equipment Assistance

Beastmasters, seeing as they solo alot, can wear heavy armor. This allows them to have a decent amount of defense so they can tank for their pets if they are solo playing, and they can take some decent hits as a tank if they are in a party. There are some types of armor they can't wear, like some mage specific or MNK/NIN/SAM (stuff like martial slacks that only those three can wear) that a BST can't wear, and at higher levels the armor starts to be more Job specific so they can't wear that kind. But you won't be short of any defense.



Weapons-

Here I'll just list the weapons a BST can equip and how they rank.

(ranking system is 1=Great 2=Decent 3=Basic 4=Below Average)

Sword=4

Axe=1

Dagger=2

Scythe=2

Club=3



Looking at the Weapon stats of a BST, Axe is the best kind of weapon for a BST, but in a party, you might want to use Scythe if you don't plan to tank incase the party needs a higher damager dealer. Generally is best to stick with Axe though since Axe does decent damage, has decent delay, and allows you to equip a shield.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



3.6) Stat Calculator

This URL leads to a decent stat calculator that will give you stats based on race, job, and sub job. Just keep in mind that it doesnt take into consider- ation any job traits that boost HP or MP.

3.8) Artifact Armor

Artifact Armor, commonly referred to as AF armor, is job specific armor with really nice boosts to skills and stats for that job. To see what AF armor looks like, take this URL.
