Remember to stagger your attacks

Something that I have been doing and has helped my tp issues greatly, is timing the weaponskills. Using my skills between the times for auto attack's learning the speed of the weapon and skills to get attacks in without ever interrupting your auto has helped me immensely.

Also, you can intterupt animations (such as the auto) with skills and it still all goes off. the Aldgoats that were kicking my rear not 30 mins ago are now quickly falling and I am often left with 1kish tp to spare.

Of course, I am rank 22 fighting rank 25-29's, I don't know if health and miss changes in higher levels make this harder but it has helped me much and I saw it mentioned in the lancer forums as well so thought I'd drop it by.

For new Mrd it seems best if you buy your standard attacks with guildmarks as soon as possible. And use Skull Sunder & Trammel (from Lnc).

Foresight & Fracture are a nice, cheap tp option too.

Which attacks are you referring too?

Broad Swing, Full Swing. Pretty much every class now should be equiping these attacks that they maybe didn't before. They are all now free damage and TP.

Good to know, thanks :)

I know the timer on full swing might look a bit high, But trust me when the chips are down. it can and will give you that extra tp boost you need. course your only r25 yet so its not an option right now.

also dont overlook the utility of throwing weapons, they can be very helpful in the tp gain department. As a added bonus our throwing axes have the chance to be recovered, I have thrown many a boomerang axe. its a wonderful thing

Hmmm...i didn't know throwing axes were ramdonly returnable...isn't it a bug? Never noticed it either...but if its correct then they do might become much more useful than before.

all the throwing items have a chance of being returned. But honestly, I never really thought of using ranged throwing weapons on any class for damage/tp gain. I think I may give that a try, is there a delay on throwing weapons?

5 sec recast

hmm... so really, could use it as filler in between your normal attacks. And, unlike FFXI, these throwing weapons actually land consistently. Definitely going to try this out when I get home.

Throwing axes always been recoverable since Beta. Same for Chakram and Javelins and Throwing daggers.

yea the class specific stuff has always had the chance to be recovered, non class stuff like bomb arms, fire pots, smoothed stones, or the rare to come by exorcism bean will not (at least in my experience). Ranged items are handy to have on hand. Mileage will vary depending on the rank of the mob your facing of course. but hey they don't get in the way of auto attack the timer is really low and they can do some decent damage not to mention the nuggets of tp generated are wonderful.

and if you are in a situation where you cant exactly get on top of the mob ferocity and raging strikes will give them a nice bit of extra sting.

buffing a throwing weapon. interesting!

are the throwing weapons expensive to keep stocked?

Not really...not only they're cheap recipes but also the materials' recipes are often used for grinding BSM, GLD or CRP.

Yea i have a couple ongoing deals with a couple gold smithers in my ls, I bring them the silver heads I get me some play toys.
