Hello! I recently-ish started leveling Blue Mage and am up to level 49(with about 200 exp to 50). To be completely honest, I've heard varying things from people on what to equip, but most say I should stack STR for the majority of my physical spells and switch to MND and VIT for self cures, though the latter is a given anyway.
I'd like to get some suggestions on what I should aspire to at around this level while I farm the remaining 8 or so spells I need for the next few levels. Could anyone help out a bit? I'll post my item set.
I am aware of some simple upgrades, such as Tilt Belt to Life Belt, but other than that... I'm pretty much broke but am willing to farm for upgrades.
EDIT: I'm not far in CoP so the things I'd get from Riverne are out of the question.
These are what I used at 50:
TP
WS/Spells
Took the intruder earring off if it was reducing my MP annoyingly, just used it really because I didn't feel like buying extra earrings. You can get most of those, if not the NQs rather cheaply. I see you don't have a PCC so a Chiv Chain would work fine @60.
I do realize you are mithra though so some of that STR stuff isn't available to you, but there's always other pieces to use. You should opt. for a headlong belt (only 40k on my server and easy to camp), which is only 1% less haste than swift. Or wait until next month for when they remove the level caps on the zones.
Keep in mind, your Spell/WS set will change as you level up. For Vorpal you're going to need ACC/ATK moreso at first than STR (and DEX), and you're gonna get multi-hit spells (aka the big 3) so you'll want more STR/DEX/Acc for those. At the point I got to 60, I split my gear macros specifically for Vorpal, specifically for Death Scissors/1-hit STR based spells, and specifically for the big 3.
