Combat & charm equipments?

[Serial Rain]

Have been away on the game for a while. I'm thinking of taking a break off of my Ninja due to unexpected costs (Arghhhh.). While I'm off trying to find a new way to make gil, thought I'd give Bst a try just for the heck of it.

I'm just being curious, but for the bst's in this forum, do you have equipments for both charming and fighting? I've heard that higher bsts usually have 2 sets of equipments, one for charming and other for fighting, but unfortunately, all of those high lvl bsts in my server are Japanese, and are usually too busy to ask. Most of them I see carry Hauberk or Byrnie sets (+ thick I think? Looked like it...) and some Scythe.

Thanks.

Many do, but it's not really necessary. I'm too lazy to do it anymore myself, and have just spent extra on getting items that help both areas

My charm macro is...
//switch to all my +CHR stuff
//charm

My attack macro is...
//switch to all my +DEX and +evasion stuff
//attack

I kinda go over the line a little bit, but here's what I switch:

Charming gear
main: Monster Signa
head: Noble's Ribbon
neck: Bird Whistle
rings: Moon Ring x2 (when I buy #2)
waist: Corsette +1

Fighting gear
main: Mythril Pick +1 / Demonslicer (when I buy it)
sub: Balance Buckler
head: Valkyrie's Mask
neck: Tiger Stole
rings: Tamer's Ring/Fluorite Ring
waist: Life Belt

The stuff that I don't switch is this:

ears: Beetle +1 (Spikes when I buy them)
body: Royal Knight's Chainmail? (lvl 55 sandy cq)
hands: Beast Gloves
legs: Wonder Braccae (taru rse)
back: Wolf +1
feet: Beast Gaiters

So yeah, I switch a WHOLE lot, and loose A LOT of tp. I have my neck piece tagged on to my charm macro, so that after charm hits, I equip the tiger stole. This works well, but is annoying as hell if I need to use charm a lot. I miss uhh, an abnormal amount of charms, it's kind of absurd actually. I plan on buying myself a dark staff, demonslicer, spike ears, a second moon ring, the ex cq mantle once I get rank 6, and an amemit mantle. I already have a wrath tabar and uh the level 59 axe too. So yeah I need about... 700kish in equipment before I'm happy and sitting at level 61. yikes.

if you're starting to feel like you're missing too many charms, it's time to up CHR. in the lower levels you won't be missing much, so you might as well not bother.

I don't have my chr equip on the same line as the charm itself; i could, but i'm already not switching everything with 6 lines.

What switches:

chr:
moonring*2
birdwhisle
corsette (NQ)
BST trousers
noble ribbon


dex: (attack)
dex+2 rings *2
RK helm
RK pants
spiked necklace
Life belt

Reward macro:
AF body piece (normally RK body)

that thing that unaggros mobs:
AF headpiece

MP healing:
Dark staff
Electram rings*2
Electram hairpin

Later on, you do want signas and such, but even at my level it's doable without it. If I need a CHR weapon I usually grab my shellbuster.

I have 4 macros, one for fighting with emphasis on MP, one for charming with emphasis on MP, and my 2 main ones which is pure fighting and pure charming.
