    Mixing skills at 50

    Just a question. I am a thaumaterge ( soon to be black mage hopefully ) I am upping my Int / Mnd when I level because I want to level conjurer ( white mage soon ) and get them both to 50 and then when I am a full 50 black mage, cross over some defensive / healing skills from white mage kind of like a blm / whm from ffxi. My question is, how many white mage skills can I cross over to my black mage?

    First note: Attribute points are independent of class. So when you level your Conjurer, you'll be able to load up on Mnd and Vit, allowing you Blm to focus on its own stats.

    To answer your question: None. Blm are locked out of Whm/Cnj. Blm has access to only Archer and Pugilist actions.

    However Thm may still mix and match from all of the other classes.

    EDIT: Here's some starter info on Lodestone about it.

    So as a thaumaterge, leveling up Int and Mnd will be fine since I'll be mixing conjurer skills with it, but as a blackmage, i should concentrate on int / pie since I wont be using any whm / cnj abilities.... I highly doubt monk and archer abilities will come in handy ( unless they are designed to benifit from each other somehow ) infact I am surprised they would do this. what does archer / puglist have to do with blm at all? Sounds like I'd like thaumaterge with the cross skills of conjurer more than a blackmage with limited class crossing abilities although im sure black mage gets stronger damaging spells.

    Mainly, Pugilist allows you to use Second Wind and Featherfoot. Archer gives Chameleon. So a self heal, a guaranteed evade and an enmity drop.

    THM and BLM use the same stats, so if u put 6 int into BLM then THM will have it too. Jobs share Attribute points of their class

    Archer also gives Quelling Strike which, on BLM, will reduce the amount of enmity you get from your next spell.

    Also, INT and MND are perfectly fine on THM and BLM. MND boosts Magic Accuracy now.
