Why would you carry all of that extra gear? Clearly Krystal has the right idea for gear. Just get a decent balance of stats -- mnd so your spells do more damage, and chr so the mob gives you less hates, and NEVER BLINK because a mage might not be able to cure you. As for which elemental staff to use, pick the one with the coolest color. I like Neptune's staff because I like things that are blue.
