Too easy

Yes, we all know you are, I simply feel like replying to you because you like to twist words, I just like to restate that what your saying is false.

NQ staves are a minor improvement over NQ staves? What? Perhaps you mistakenly thought I was refering to the higher quality counterparts, in which case you are still being silly because they offer a sizable performance boost. It's a straight percentage increase to damage, which is kind of amazing.

I'm going to assume we're not talking about comparison of Light Staff to Apollo's Staff, as that isn't anything a Black Mage needs worry about unless they're assist healing, and for a more likely comparison of Fire Staff to Vulcan's Staff.

Hidden effect:
Fire Magic Affinity +1
-2 Avatar perpetuation cost for Ifrit and Fire Spirit.

Versus:

[sarcasm]Oh yes, that's a staggering difference right there that makes it worth the old time expense of millions just to get the HQ staves.[/sarcasm]

Not.

Compare it to:

So yeah, even according to career Black Mages, Maleficus will cover your basic needs as a part time Black Mage. The Magian staves are for for those determined to make the most out of Black Mage (the career Black Mage) and the HQ staves are only good for posers like yourself.

Oh lord, where do I even start...

The flat 10% increase of a NQ staff is going to beat the pants off the Scythe. 15% if you buy an HQ staff.

By the way, HQ staves don't cost millions anymore and the NQ versions are dirt cheap.

Who says I don't already have the elemental staves? I have some (the NQ versions at least) because they're useful to have on Blue Mage to exploit procs on monsters that have high resists to that specific element (Akvan and Darkness element comes immediately to mind), due purely to fact that Blue Mage has no other options.

But just like I don't sneer at part time Blue Mages who don't have all the gear a full timer would, I don't sneer at part time Black Mages either.

Edit to add: Yes, I know that with a small investment on my part I can get the HQ staves. I just sneer at the huge price jump between NQ to HQ from ye olde tyme, there was never a justification for that.

All of them together don't cost even 1 mil(on Phoenix)

This wouldn't make the hardcore crown happy at all, if anything it would piss them off even further.

Their value isn't in the gear or even the accomplishment of killing the dangerous / "challenging" *cough* NM. The value is in other people not having the gear. They want it impossible for other players to obtain the gear, thus giving meaning to their no-job / school / social non-life.

i'm hardcore and i'm not pissed....

its an mmorpg... ppl gonna get the gear eventually why you out so much stock in artifical value... and infact...

content id just about the reward... its about the content being fun to so.

ever knew timed mobs wasn't fun. it got tedious that even some hardcores got tired of it. Hence the change in kings.

Has nothing to do with it, just wish your story was a little consistent.

i've been playing the game for years, all my friends and my ex did hnm. I asked questions about it and been to a few runs that i COULD do.
I seen 1 behemoth 2 admantious. almost got egg but family dc me.

but really tho what i said was consistent. it was rare for me to make a run cuz i put real life over a game i sleep when i need to, and when i sleep thats when most windows were open.

[Rosina]

Oh yes we should have timed popped because we're all unemployed and play this game for 12+ hours a day. How dare someone with an actual job try playing this game and still lead a regular life outside the game! They're not the "real" players.

life vs no life aurgument is grasping strwas on either side please stop. if u have nothing productive to say don't post.

ps this thread has nothing to do with gear, or ele staves. honestly tho fact rdm can use them is stupid since rdm has no natural staff skill...

Hmmmm.......

Your argument here does not follow. That's not the reason most people who use staves use staves.
