thistlechaserFollowing Beanie's lead...
It's nice having all this in writing, it helps to see and plan stuff. I'll cut for the disinterested.
Armor and weapon
12 slots for armor. I bought an under-level-cap belt (Merc captain's) and a new mask (iron, I think), so I have a piece of armor for every slot. All are my usual HQ/top-of-the-line stuff, except the mask. I went with the belt cause it has some VIT where my belt I had been using had only DEF. (We'll have a PLD tank, but I'm still thinking hate will be an issue for me. I'm not intending to hold back, we need to make the mobs (especially the first one) dead FAST.)
Haste (enchantment) belt.
I'm going to only bring my scythe, not my crossbow. This breaks my heart, and I'm not 100% sure of the decision yet, but I think it's how I'll go. While my xbow skill is high (94 as of last night), it's not capped. I don't think I want to sacrifice a space for it and for a stack of bolts.
Why am I not sure about that yet? Two reasons: 1) When using my xbow, I make mad TP. Last night I nearly kept up with ranger Beanie TP-wise. 2) I could use bloody bolts, which have a drain effect.
But the questions are: 1) Would I be able to hit a much tougher mob? 2) Would the drain effect work?
As far as I can tell, using the xbow does NOT make my delay in re-swinging my scythe longer. What I usually do is hit once with scythe, then one shot with xbow, scythe, xbow, scythe, etc.
If you have a thought on this, I'd be more than happy to hear it!
12 armor slots, 1 weapon, 1 extra belt. 14/60.
Meds
3 hi-ethers (I should probably bring at least 1 or 2 more, and might grab more if I have space. My absorb spells take 33 MP each, and I'd like to do 3 per each of the 3 mobs (MND, AGI, VIT). I have about 200 MP total. I'm also going to drain as much as I can, and perhaps aspir when it switches to BLM mode.)
20 hi-potions. (I'm really not sure if 20 will be enough. Might buy more if I have room.)
Reraise scroll.
Reraiser.
Echo drops (stack), eye drops (stack).
Prism powder (stack), oil (stack).
43/60
Food
3 jack o'Lanterns. (Since I have 5 more slots than most people, I think I'm going to stick with Jacks. Since hate might be an issue, I'll be happy to have the +10 EVA they give along with the +10 ACC.)
(Need some Au Laits and some Yag Drinks. None bought or decided on yet. Checking Alla now...) Wonder how long the fights will last? I heard 30 minutes? I should get 3 Persikos au Laits then. If the yag drinks stack with the au laits, then probably 2 of those...
51/60
So it looks like I have a little room left. Maybe I'll bring my xbow, 1 stack of bolts, and fill the rest with... hm. I guess I better bring a warp object? I'm leaving my LS pearl behind.
I really feel like I'm forgetting something...
Big questions! Can you use Au Laits and Yag Drinks at the same time? And both are okay with food?
If you see anything questionable on my list, feel free to tell me!
Edit: Ha ha, I had "food" listed twice. Edited for correct number count.
Edit 2: I MUST make macros tonight! Lots of items to macro in! Drop from macro bar all spells I won't be using! (Or just make new bar for this, like I did in Promy runs.)
