IDEA: Relief to Inventory Issues

[Daniel_Hatcher]

Magic Affinities will cancel each other out, so combining all 8 affinity staves of a particular focus results in the following staff:
Omni I/II/III
DMG:57 Delay:366
Lv.99 WHM / BLM / RDM / BRD / SMN / SCH

For all-elemental staves, you could look at the following alternatives:

Tuahjebat ()
DMG:89 Delay:356
INT+11 "Magic Attack Bonus"+13
Lv.99 WHM / BLM / RDM / BRD / SMN / SCH

Tuahjebat ()
DMG:89 Delay:356
MP+125 Magic Accuracy+22
Lv.99 WHM / BLM / RDM / BRD / SMN / SCH

Fay Crozier
DMG: 50 Delay: 366
Avatar Perpetuation Cost -3*
"Blood Pact" Ability Delay -5*
Lv. 75 SMN
* varies with augments, listed values are max obtainable (I think)

Although for Magic Accuracy, I'd probably prefer Alkalurops.


None of these staves is as good as an elemental trial one, but Tuahjebat makes it obvious that you pay for all-round casting excellence with free inventory slots.

Then remove the term affinity:

Magic Damage +20%

simple enough.

Exactly. Would be a reward to help the player-base and encourage more people to do all the trials. After all, if we all have something extra to do, that's more time spent playing their game, which means more money for SE and they are in this for the money after all.

Simple enough... but it would still be Magic Damage +20% Magic Accuracy -40 to balance it. The other staff would then be Magic Damage -20% Magic Accuracy +40.
