Hi Basil I have decided to make a F/P mage but I don't know what build to go on. I plan on Poison Bracing as soon as it gets faster than FA training, but the gudies I read say to max you need to take out points from tele, medi, slow etc. Will I have enough sp to max Tele, Medi, Slow, FA and PB? If not what points should I not max? Thanks in advance

If you're going to be a hybrid, you could take 2 out from FA and everything will be maxed except for MPE which will be at 3

Take out points from medi, we have wizard elixirs to cover for that.

Ok that 2 won't make a big difference will it? And is MP eater a must? Is it really useful? [EDIT: @ above I would rather max Medi than spend millions on Elixirs]

[quote] AWildGuy : Mp Eater is useless for an F/P. [/quote] You have no idea what you're talking about. You start out by Maxing FA. After FA, you go for MPeater, then Medi. After that you go for PB, and lastly agility, Dont worry about Slow, people hardly use it these days. Medi/Agility/MPeater are all interchangeable, but don't listen to the guy above and NOT max MPeater.

Also apparently slow is good coz it saves pots [/quote] As I'm beginning to experience, Slow brings running monsters to a walking pace. Most monsters should have ~100 speed (give or take 10 speed) so taking away 40 speed is like cutting their speed in half. Not only that, you can jump and use it too, and it affects 6 monsters. Slow should definitely be maxed if you ask me.

@above thanks for your help. Will 28 FA or 28 PB be worse?

Please do not max mp eater, do not even put a point into it, it's a waste.

@ Journey you need 3 points in it to get Meditation. Just max FA and then max PB to train at TJs :D

[quote] mtsman : @above thanks for your help. Will 28 FA or 28 PB be worse? [/quote] I recommend getting 28 Fire Arrow instead of 28 Poison Brace, since Fire Arrow will just lose a little attack. Level 28 Poison Brace won't bring the monster down the 1 hp, and will leave them with about 1k left, which is annoying. But hey, I'm not an expert.

I suggest doing the following build: Max Fire Arrow Max Poison Brace Max Teleport Max Slow Max MPE or Meditation. Max Fire Arrow will help you level faster from lvl 40-45. At lvl 50, with max Poison Brace, you can go train at Jesters. Max Teleport should be most useful afterwards. This will cut down on pot costs. Max Slow can be useful. This will help Slow down monsters drastically. MPE can be useful, even if you only hit the monsters 1-3 times. This will allow you to absorb some Mp from the monster. Even if it is little Mp, it can still help. Most people suggest Meditation over MPE. This is a passive skill. Meditation is completely useless until maybe 4th Job or outside of training. The only actual use for Meditation is to not have to spend about 35k on NLC's Wizard Elixir pots per hour, when you do fire training. During poison training, the 20 M.atk = 0 M.atk since poison training is independent of your Magic. When you go questing or bossing, the 20 M.atk will give a small damage boost. This is an active skill that you need to cast every 3 minutes. The build for F/p comes down to what you think is more to-be-used less: MPE or Meditation?
