BLU Gear to 60

[Valhallodin]

Well, today I went through AK and put together a small gear suggestion guide. This is very basic, and since I am very far from an expert on BLU, I figured I would post it here for some feedback, so by all means, please make adjustments/suggestions as you see fit.

Also, I wrote the guide with my Elvaan self in mind, so you may need other things based on your races. Again, PLEASE give me some input on this b/c I'd like to have my gear plan set asap.

I have put very expensive items (luxury items: ~300k or more) in gold, and rare/ex items in green.

EDIT: Added Statistics for each piece.

[Sicarius]

I'll put in my 2 gil.

Ammo, I used Morion Tathlum for a while but eneded up selling it. I currently use the bibiki seashell.

Back, take your pick. I use amemnt+1 atm but since this is guide is up 60 then MP+ would be your friend since your elvaan.

Body, here again go for mp+. SH is way over-rated for BLU. BLU evasion skill is horrible and trying to blink tank at low lvls w/out ni is hard. Once you get 58 and can use AF body you will use till 75, +15 blue magic skill is just way too good to pass up.

Earrings, since I'm hume i went for +att ones but +MP is just as nice. Moldy is not needed. Magic attack bonus affects only magical spells (Cursed Sphere, Breath attacks...), not physical ones (Bludgeon, Jet Stream...)

Feet, I used my hume RSE for mp+ but switched into AF full time. Great stats and it's always nice to use AF.

Finger, I used Fasting and a STR before 40 then switched to acc+. The accuracy of multi-hit spells (Bludgeon, Jet Stream, Frentic Rip...) is dependent on blue magic skill and accuracy, moreso on skill.

Hands, being hume i used Battle Gloves pretty much till 72. AF is nice for a MP build and learning spells tho.

Head, I was too impatient to camp VE but if I had a hairpin I would have used it. Valkries mask is very nice for both MP and att. AF is very nice for MP+ and decent stats. Plus it just looks badass. As for the correlation effect, it can either help you or hurt you.

Legs, I used Hume RSE till 71 for Vendor's Slops. AF is pretty worthless since there is no +MP or any other decent stat+. Idk the stats on Elvaan RSE but ima guess mp+?

Neck, never seen beak before but very nice I would defently would consider using. Atm I use Chiv. chain but PCC would be nice.

Waist, I used MP+ ones until Life Belt and I now use that full-time but switch in STR+ during WS and if CA certain spells.

Sword, Blu is limited on Sword selection but what you have on your list looks good. AF isnt actually half bad. If you can get ur hands on Immortals Shotel that would be awesome.
