Red Mage

Introduction

When I started playing FFXI mid-last year (2007), I never imagined I could get so utterly hooked on a game! Six months after I started, my RDM hit 75, and another six months later, well nothing has changed.

Anyway, this page is just to post up some data about my beloved RDM-- goals, gear set-ups, wishlist, and so on, as well as some general information and thoughts about my RDM.

Support Jobs

Currently I have eight available support jobs:

White Mage
Black Mage
Ninja
Summoner
Warrior
Samurai
Dragoon
Scholar

In my never-ending quest to better my character (however slow progress may be >_>;), I wish to level the following jobs, either for their usefulness endgame, or just for fun:

Dark Knight, for Stun, of course.
Thief, because I recently decided that I hate farming with a gimp sub.
Paladin, for super defensive happy fun times.
Blue Mage, see Paladin, plus solo.

Wishlist

Oh my, where do I start? I want to restart my RDM melee stint again, which means I'll need a lot of gear. I had a few pieces to help with skilling up, but sold those when my inventory started overflowing (this was before I thought to make a mule ._.; ).

Besides melee, I want some pieces to compliment my casting, MP pool, and so on.
