Geomancy and Handbell Skill-Up Guides

• Best way, by far, to skill up both magic skills, is by the use of mob targeting Geocolure spell (i.e. Geo-Poison, Geo-Slow, etc.) on anything that reads Decent Challenge or higher. Just have Indi-Refresh on you and cast away. Once up, use Full Circle and re-cast once more. Rinse and repeat until you cap. Keep in mind that if you are planing to skill up on your own, sleep the target first and don't use Geo-Poison on it or otherwise it will wake up.
  • Since almost all of the Geomancy Spell uses a lot of MP to cast, best place to go to skill-up would be in Abyssea areas. The use of refresh atmas are of great help for this.
• One way of skilling-up your Geomancy Skill/Handbell Skill is to have your Geomancer at Level 34. You should have the spells: Geo-Refresh, Indi-Poison, Indi-Precision and Indi-Voidance. Also you will have the Job Trait: Lasting Emanation. You want to cast Geo-Refresh, then use your Job Ability: Lasting Emanation, then in any order cast Indi-Poison, Indi-Precision and then Indi-Voidance. These 3 Indi-Spells are the least amount to cast. By continually casting those 3 spells, you will gain skill in both Geomancy and Handbell.
  • When possible, have a friend come as SMN and have them use Diabolos's Favor while in party with them. The added ticks of MP from this job ability will help keep your mp for a non-stop session of skilling.
    NOTE: Although Refresh II (or any other forms of refresh) can do the same, they don't last as long as Diabolos's Favor does, but they can be used just the same if you so wish.
• Seafood Pitaru and B.E.W. Pitaru will further advance your skill rate at higher levels.
• Another way of skilling up your Geomancy Skill, although not as effective, is by means of the Geomantic Reservoir. When the shows up, hit your "Confirm" button twice as fast as you can for the highest possiable skill-up on Geomancy Skill. This form of skilling can only be done once per geocolure spell learned and it doesn't work on one's handbell skill.
• Having the Trust Spell, you can can quickly level up your Geomancy Skill and Handbell Skill.
• Also, the Records of Eminence NPC will have 2 different items that will level up your Geomancer. By talking to:
  • Rolandienne in Southern San d'Oria (G-10)
  • Isakoth in Bastok Markets (E-11)
  • Fhelm Jobeizat in Windurst Woods (J-10)
  • Eternal Flame in Western Adoulin (H-11)

and selecting Spell Increasing Tomes, and clicking on the Next page twice, you will get to the Copy of Hrohj's record (Geomancy) and Copy of The Bell Tolls (Handbell). From there choose as many as you need or depending on the amount of Sparks you have left.
