Forgive me if this question has been answered before, but what jobs benefit the most from being mastered? I know the obvious answer is "Every job benefits from master" but I'm looking for more of a game(or job!)-changing upgrade from 0 JP to 2100 for the job. I plan on mastering every job eventually, but I'd like to get the most important ones out of the way.

e.g: Geo's gifts pushing it over 900+ Geomancy, BLU's gift letting it set more spells etc...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

PUP and BLU

PUP is like getting to equip and entire second automaton going from 0JP to 1200JP

Same with BLU, dramatic difference in Traits.

Is there a way to adjust Chatmons volume? It seems independent of FFXI/Windower. It it very loud compared to my low volume windower client. Thanks

BLU definitely my #1 pick for those sweet, sweet traits.

PUP is VERY nice and belongs in the list of best gifts, but perhaps Eiryl is being a little hyperbolic there ;) (and the JP categories themselves are kinda weak, FWIW).

SCH strategem recast reduction, Storm IIs, and Helix IIs are pretty massive.

BLM T6 spells and tons of Magic Burst dmg+ is a big boost to the job's main role.

WAR gets some really great gifts too. All that Double Attack!

IDK if NIN is overall in that very top tier (though it's definitely very good with DD gifts like Daken rate and WSD), but the 100 gift of Utsu: San is pretty killer.

How do you fish up 1 gil for the Minnow Wrangler RoE? Neither report of getting it I can find (Fly Lure in Al Zahbi, Minnow in Windurst Waters) mention what rod they used, and all I'm getting is rusty items and pipiras.

That's because rods don't determine what bites only what you can real in and that follows very broad categories of big/heavy and small. With almost all items outside of coral I think being small

So is it just a really low chance? I've fished up over 50 items in each area, with no gil to show for it.

Generally yes. Those also might not be the best baits not sure been awhile. Generally speaking you'll want to get something that doesn't target fish for fishing up items and/or one of the ones for items. I want to say the rigs are more likely to fish up items but it's been awhile so not sure. Make sure not to wear smock/apron and moghancement fishing helps too.

Yeesh, what an annoying RoE. It's literally the last one I have other than those for the crafting shields, but I'm getting nothing but dozens of rusty items in Al Zahbi, and Rusty Items and Pipiras in Windurst Waters.

Get that wsd, esp if using relic +3 body with its crazy amount of mab, you won't miss it on the legs one bit. Plus, 7wsd is a huge chunk.

For future reference this and that comparisons on gear if they are even slightly close or can be need to know the full amount of relevant stats you have

I think RUN has a potential claim to the top spot. Of note, you get:

+20 MEVA per rune
+20% Enhancing duration on Embolden
Nearly doubled duration on One For All
Increased duration on Valiance/Vallation
Increased duration on Gambit
+8% flat Parry Rate no matter what (barring Avoidance Down)
+70 MEVA
+56 Magic Defense Bonus (!!!)
+36 Enhancing Skill
+20% Enhancing duration received
Temper
+56 Accuracy

Rdm too, since all the relevant high tier spells lock behind JP. Nevermind huge chunk of macc bonus.

For purely farming salvage on THF, which aug you should have on your cap is, change to blu.

DW;
You need 44% with zero haste. (salvage) or 37% if you use a blurred knife. and, I don't care how much you'd need with haste samba.

If you built a set specifically for DW, you could cap it without the back having +10

If you run something like this set, (there are more DW pieces) You can use your regular STP cape instead of making a special DW cape.

It's all free gear... replace af+3 with floral from SR, the jacket is like 100k at most lol.

But anyway. Yeah, if you don't have the pieces, and you don't care about wasting another cape on DW (spoiler, the hallmarks you spend on making a dw cape with dust/thread/sap/resin/dye could've been alex to sell instead so it's not free) then yeah, DW is your best option.

I wish there was a blanket statement as easy as DW is never better than DA for the cape for thf.

DA is not the preferred augment, ever, for thf. STP all the way.

Yes, it's quite possible to solo dragons. Is it possible for you, doesn't seem to be.

because THF has 19% TA before even looking at gear, which will contain another 25%+ more
