Valkurm Dead?
Valkurm Dead?
Leveling gimped skills is a much, much quicker process than exp grinding the "proper way" though ;x much smarter to skip the exp grind and have to skill up than have to spend hundreds of hours exp grinding but not have to skill (as much - Level Sync is still the preferred method of levelling, and you're gonna be stuck around late50s/early60s for a long time).
Skilling up isn't that bad.. i just got maats cap after taking 15 jobs from 49~80ish in abyssea.
can take your combat / magic skills from 49cap to about 250ish in a couple hours.. eat sushi then go to abyssea with party and hit 300+ skill in a couple more hours.
/bst really helps when getting skill ups or doing trial weapons on jobs that dont solo all that well like rng.

Exp grinding doesn't really teach you all that much past basic mechanics.
It does however; for the vast majority keep your skills capped.
Lets go for Red Mage, lets say you capped your skills to 30. They'd be:
Enfeebling (A+): 93
Enhancing (B+): 89
Dark (D): 79
Divine (D): 79
Healing (C-): 86
Elemental (C+): 86
then jumped to 85
You'd then need to get them all to the proper caps:
Enfeebling (A+): 331
Enhancing (B+): 311
Dark (D): 255
Divine (D): 255
Healing (C-): 275
Elemental (C+): 285
That's some serious skilling up to be doing.
inb4 my Cursnas suck
EDIT: Also /SCH is awesome.

Lucky you, I had capped skills at 80, then Abyssea'd to 85, and it's a serious pain in the backside getting capped again.
Agreed on /SCH one of the best subs for any mage IMO.
healing magic isn't too bad to cap if you really want too.. cure undead in king ranperre's (sp) tomb.
I'm lazy and skill it in Undead Swarm Besieged. That's a good idea though, might start doing that.
I burned RDM from 48 to 85 as a Haste/Dia/Cure ***. The only skills that were remotely near cap at 85 were capped for BLM75. So no, not so lucky; I just didn't complain when it came time to cap skills.

I think you give me too much credit ;o but am happy you have harnessed RDM's true potential!
