RDM exploits!

So, as i mentioned before i am leveling my RDM sub. Ive read evnough about it to perk my curiosity enough to try it out on my PLD. However, first i need to level it.

Thats ok, leveling a new sub is kind of exciting. And fun. Luckily i didnt have to level a sub for my new sub. I can only compare it to how fun i find it to level new crafts (pre 50). Leveling is so much easier. Its also less of a grind because i am still figuring out how the job works.

Levels 1-6 were pretty normal. I saw very little difference between RDM/BLM and PLD/WHM. Pretty much all you use is your sword and sheild because everything just dies far to fast to warrant any enfeebles.

At level 7 i moved further into East Sarutabaruta as to keep up with a minimum of 40 exp per kill. Things start to become a bit more interesting at this point. Its no longer kill/cure. Now blind and paralyse are realy pulling their weight. For having an gimp sword (have a Xiphos instead of a Spara) i am still killing things in about 4 hits. AND earning 40-100 exp while doing it. XD fun fun

One thing is definately true, mage food is crap at this level. DD food is the way to go ;) I am using Meat Cheifkabobs and even though it brings -2 INT the +5 STR and +Attack% is worth its weight in gold.

So here i am Slaughtering bees/crawlers. I'm in no rush with this sub. Hell, ill probably just solo it to 37. Well, until i find a better way to suppliment my chocobo digging returns. Its fun though.

I must say i thoroughly enjoy watching a monk yagudo paralysed 3X and miss me 6X because of only 2 enfeebles while i just ping away at its HP bar with a silly xiphos lmao.

I am almost level 9 RDM/BLM now. Not bad for about 4 hours total of leveling, even if i do say so myself. just 28 more levels to go before i need to work on capping off enhancing magic skill. ;)

Fun times ahead, at least it will be interesting to see PLD/RDM in action first hand. Now i just gotta figure out how to get those new ice spike gloves they released and buy a ice spike sheild. O.o Hows a PLD/RDM with those sound to you? lol
