Enhancing Magic Skill Gain Rate

[FrankReynolds]

My mule is used on 99 whm 99% of the time. He constantly buffs himself and my main. I have capped enfeebling, dark and elemental magic on him. He has capped evasion skill just from death warping and the occasional duo-box fight gone wrong.

His enhancing magic was around 200 last I checked. That is some serious BS.

EDIT: To be clear, this is a character that I have duo boxed three empyrians and half a relic on among other things. I've been playing on him full time for more than a year. That is a long ass time to play and still be only half way to cap on a skill that you use constantly.

I tried the High Level Fellow suggestion. It helped slightly. But, still horrible. With most of the new content for individual group play (e.g. - Reives) absolutely sucking, I usually log on, try to skill Enhancing and fall asleep within the hour. But, I'd say falling asleep is a pretty good analogy of where this game seems to be heading, at the moment.

What I do for enhancing magic is go to Kazham near the Nomad Moogle. There I go as my RDM and just spam the Bar-elemental spells on myself. When I run out of magic, I quickly change my job and switch back to RDM to get full MP. I have had good luck doing that. But, I can agree with the summoning, geomancy, automaton and the like. I've also been trying to raise my divine magic skill, and it's slow, too.

Does SE only listen to the JP forums when they want something fixed, cause this has gone on for so long and needs a fix badly.

You must be new here.

I don't think JP players truly enjoy using macros to cast the same 2 spells over and over for hours than we do.

it's sad too, because Square used to care. I can remember a time when I was hospitalized for several years for a medical condition, and my only way to pass the time was playing various Gameboy games. when I would get stuck in a game, I would write a letter to square asking for a hint, and they'd always send a letter back with hints and tips and encouraging words (because they saw the letter came from a hospital)

now though? they don't seem to give a shit about anyone but the Japanese.

I mean, they remade final fantasy legends 1, 2, and 3, which I played the ever loving SHIT out of as a kid while I was hospitalized, and would buy the remakes in a heartbeat, but they refuse to release them outside of japan.

it's getting to the point where square enix will be joining my 'do not ever buy a game from this company again' list

right up there with EA, activision, and capcom

My enhancing was capped on rdm at the 80 cap easily. Go into Besieged an use chainspell Protect on the serpent generals. You get fast skill ups since your casting on a npc. This will bring you roughly to around the level 82 cap before it tapers off. At that point casting on a level 95 Adventuring Fellow is the best advice, but it will still take some time.
