    Doing Cooking would give you the ability to make your own broths as well as various stat-enhancing foods.

      Like dvdjedi said cooking for broths. If you are going to sub NIN I think Ninjitsu tools are wood working, but I'm not sure.

      Also you may want to re-think the idea of being +STR over CHR. As a BST your pet will be far more capible of dealing damage no mater how much strenght you have. The more CHR you have the less likely you are to fail a charm which often makes the difference between gaining, and losing EXP.

      I've never heard of a BST subbing RDM before (usually WHM) but if it works for you please post your experiences with it. Maybe I'll give it a try think week. I can see how the stonger Enfeebs would help but I know my WHM Cure II as saved my butt many times.

        Well, cooking doesn't make alot of money, but it does save money (you can make your own pet food, broths, food for levelling, etc...). Also very convenient.

        I'd also recommend going with CHR equipment. High CHR makes it alot easier to charm things, increases their duration, etc... Even with +15 STR you won't be hitting nearly as hard as most pets. What I did was use CHR gear and STR food (mithkabobs). It works pretty well.

          If you're dead set on subbing ninja I would levell alchemy to level 30 and woodworking to level 60ish. This will let you HQ black ink and shihei which will save you a lot. Also like others said having high CHR is sort of needed to charm anything reliably past whatever level, I wouldn't know I always tried to max my chr out.
