How to gear BLM best

[charlemagne]

Anyone have something realistic for those of us that are newer players and don't have millions of gil to blow on double/triple melds?

I don't have millions of gil and managed to create a pretty decent blm gear set in a few days. On anything other than boss fights wear nq necklaces and spiritbond them for a good rate of return on INT materia, sell the lower tiers and keep the tier IV. Natalan wolf parties can see you spiritbond four or five necklaces easily and any spare materia will subsidise your build. Good gil can be made using aoe rapega on cursed eyes in nanawa mines to sell the chocobo feathers for arrows, I've made a million a day from the eyes before. Have a crafter make you something with a couple of T3 materia on it, you are almost guaranteed to make a good profit especially if you have produced the materia yourself. There are loads of ways to make gil quickly in this game without having a high level crafting job yourself.

Edit: apparently the price of the feathers has crashed since I last farmed them, Vulture feathers still sell well for good gil though. Spending several minutes browsing the item search counter before farming usually highlights something worth farming on any particular day.

If you cannot double stack mahogany pattens, then just use AF. It'll do more dmg.

Really? I figured the AMP would be worth more than the 9 INT. I guess I should look in to upgrading my footwear.

I stack m.acc till I hit 559-568 with food (button is damn expensive), but I found out there are too many mobs/bosses are immune to status like Sleep T_T

That is def overkill. You can probably go as low as 490 but I like to be right around 500. If clearing trash mobs you can get away with 440 mag acc.

Hi Mariya,

Wow, very nice. If I may ask, what's your gear setup to achieve that M.ACC amount? (I'm guessing you might have Triple Melds for INT / AMP as well?)

Not really, except for the Mahogany Pattens I double meld as many M.Acc as I could >_> just for fun lol. If they ever make Garuda vulnerable to Sleep, I mind try 600 M.Acc.

That's just overkill. Only m.acc I use is Garuda's Van, and Mage's rope belt from time to time, depending. (Macro in 34 m.acc head, and mage's choker for sleeps).

560 Magic Accuracy...? My god.
