Red Mage: Itikuo's Way

Welcome to my first guide on a classic Final Fantasy Job. This guide is for serious Red Mages who want to seriously show off the only Jack of All Trades job in the game. Scholars are either White Mage or Black Mage Wanna be dingos. They can't melee, they are squishy, but they make a wonderful support job to Red Mage.

Just like a serious samurai will have a Hagun. A Red Mage must get an Enhancing Sword. Without this weapon with its nice DMG 40 Enhancements to Enspells, and accuracy/ attack latent effect your RDM will always be gimped no matter how many nice peices of gear you have. You will need lots of Rare/ex gear that might take you several months to get. Among the armor set are 3 pieces of Moriggana's Set which adds good stat boosts for ACC, ATK, MACC, MATT, MP, Haste, Auto Refresh. You will want the fabled earring that adds to the amount of damage your enspells do, thus further increasing your damage potential to be on par with the other DD jobs. Slightly less, but definitely within range.

Some of you may think you want an Excalibur. Well thats better suited for PLD, though does pawn on RDM a cheaper alternative would be Enhancing Sword. Its up to you and what you want as this is merely my opinion.
