Information on inventory relief, via staff consolidation, efforts

[Seriha]

Terasan reminded me... Gorgets, Obis, and the Belts would all benefit from an eventual consolidated version of some degree, too.

Make a magian trial corresonding with a new staff. Make the final staff trial require you to trade all 8 of one +3 staff to get either:

Magic Affinityamage+7
or
Magic Affinity:Accuracy+7
or
Avatar Perpetuation-7
BP Delay-7

They also need a DD fusion. Empy + Occ hits 2-4 times would be a good fusion combo.

staves not staffs

Not all staves are needed by all jobs; I can't imagine someone needing to own all elemental staves and all magian staves. Summoner hasn't needed them any of them except maybe light for a long time, black mage has had minimal need for light staves and most black mages have had little regard for elements other than thunder and ice (dark for drain/aspir/etc). WHM only needs a few of them.

They're never going to consolodate these staves, because they would consider it too strong for all of the effects to be combined. To get a universal staff, you'd have to make some sacrifices (and a few such staves exist, however difficult to obtain they may be).

Not saying at all that it wouldn't be nice for this to happen, I'm just being realistic.

Im sorry, but.. what at that bold part. Maybe you need to explain what you mean there.

What part of that needs explaining? You don't need any crafted or magian elemental staff to negate perpetuation cost on summoner and for non perpetuation cost purposes there are a number of good staves available for a fraction of the work required to obtain magian elemental staves.

(of course in the ridiculously hard to obtain department, there's also nirvana as an option)

I'll admit my native tongue is Japanese but....

If you're correcting someone else for using staffs instead of staves, maybe you want to reword some of what you wrote. Then again maybe it's just something in English I'm not understanding.

More on point, SMN has a use for Elemental Staffs (:3) if one didnt complete magian Staffs (:3).

BLU and COR need elemental staffs still. Others will use magian.

You already have the strength of the staffs, so that's a bogus remark. Considering the strength of these staffs, people are more likely to give up situational pieces rather than Magian staffs. Considering how difficult they are to obtain, they warrant the power of a unified staff. Total the number of mobs you need to kill (Especially along the magic accuracy line) and you'll see what I mean.

Yeah... no. Anyone but me crazy enough to own both?

It's not a bogus remark. It would be like consolodating all situational gear for <job>'s <insert gear slot here> slot into one item. It's really not much different from that. Also, I'm not necessarily speaking of what *we* consider too powerful but rather what SE considers too powerful. Obviously SE considers

"All magic damage +20% in the elemental staff slot of the equation"
<insert all other individual ele. staff benefits here>

too powerful. Maybe we don't, but they do, and that's why it doesn't happen. That's all I'm saying.

people are more likely to give up situational pieces rather than Magian staffs.

Umm... the Magian staves are the situational pieces. Each staff for a different avatar, or two that benefit all of them. Hmm... tough decision, especially considering you don't need them for their perpetuaiton at all, only for pet MAB...

I'll admit my native tongue is Japanese but....

You're probably fooling everyone here then, because you don't sound like English isn't your native tongue. (Where's all the cool japenese smilies then? ) So... allow me to fix up my statment a bit here:
"Summoner hasn't needed any of them, except maybe light staff, for a long time."
