My current gear set for idling mainly is MP gear, I used to have idea of trying to get as much as MP while I’m idling so I can spend on cure/refresh/haste/blink before switch to appropriate gear set for other spells but the problem is a lot of time I don’t idle much enough to gain extra MP before switch to other gear set that has (much) lower max MP so it is kinda of nullify purpose of make idle gear has higher max MP.

Goal of new idle gear set is more focused on defensive status while still maintain +HP and +MP at same rate of other set of gears. Let’s take a look at amount of HP and MP I get from other of my gear set.

Idle : +396 MP, -48 HP

• Stoneskin: +212 MP, -70 HP
• Debuffing (Skill) : +158 MP, -45 HP
• Debuffing (MND) : +174 MP, -85 HP
• Nuking : +150 MP, -45 HP
• Medding : +168 MP

I try to achieve base of +158 MP and add as much as defensive status from equipment I currently have in my new set unfortunately, let’s see.

With this change my idle gear still has a lot more MP than usual casting gears, I’ll have to work on this set a lot.

Improvements

1. Orochi Nodowa, extra regen is handy, definitely worth a trade with 10 HP and MP. This is going to be the easiest improvement I can make for this set, just camp AH for Hydra Scale and ask (harass) friend to craft one for me
2. Cheviot Cape or Umbra Cape (again), copy what I write in SS gears here
3. Darksteel Mittens +1 and Darksteel Leggings +1, -100 MP from missing 2 Zenith piece but it isn’t a big deal since I still have a little higher MP in idle gears than other casting gears and gain -4% Physical Damage Taken bring me to -29% or -34%/35% with Cheviot/Umbra Cape. I’ll need to find 100+3 Smither for T2 on leggings and T1 at best on mittens, bright side is they share materials.
