Talk:Poor White Mage's Equipment Guide

Suggestions
First and foremost, I don't know if you are looking for suggestions for this guide, but if you are I hope these help. You may want to considder taking out the 'no edit section.' It would be much easier for others to make small changes (such as spelling corrections) if you could edit by section and not have to edit the whole guide.

This is a great idea for a guide. It could be very useful. There are a lot of things you should add. You mention at the begining of the guide that it is meant for those things that are cheep and easy to get. Things you can get from a vendor or off the ah easily. However, it doesn't make since to me that you would list AF with that in mind. If you don't have a lvl 75 job or someone lvl 70+ to help you it's next to impossible to get those quests done. Even if you do have a lvl 75 job it still takes about 3-9 days to solo all of you af, depending on your luck and how long you play in a day.

Many players who are lvl'ing Whm and have it as their highest job won't be able to get AF right away. I was past lvl 60 myself before I was able to complete my af. Even if you do manage to get your AF there are still some pieces of regular gear that are better depending on player preference. If MP is more important to you then MND, which pre 70 it usually is, then you would be better off with a Gold Hairpin or Electrum Hairpin then a Healer's Cap. And those are actually cheep pieces that you can use before you can use the Healer's Cap.

On that same note, it would also be nice if you have more options listed for the mid to high lvl's. What you have listed in your guide for a head piece, for use before you get your AF, is the Seer's Crown. This doesn't make since to me because the only stats on it is an INT boost which Whm doesn't really need. Even a Bone Hairpin +1 would be more useful as far as MP goes. Those are only 3-5k on all servers. If you still don't have AF by lvl 66 players may like to know that they can get a Noble's Crown for 10k on most servers and it has a good MND and MP boost on it.

Another useful thing you could add would be more info on why you should choose a spacific piece of gear. Explain that a Seer's Tunic would be useful because it has HMP +1. That a Bishop's Robe has a small MP and MND boost. Knowing what pieces are good for evasion, HMP, DEF, MP, and MND would help people create the build that they want for their character on a budget. Also considder making a section somewhere at the top where you do a brief explanation of what you'll what to look for in gear as a Whm and why.

A good wand to add would be the Chestnut Club (HQ Solid Wand). It provides the best boost to MND/INT until lvl 48 when you can get the Rose Wand.

These are just a few suggestions. I'll come back here and leave some more if I think of any. There is a lot of room to expand this. Just try to keep this from becoming another one of those useless guides with too many holes in it. --Rusomoso 08:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
