Im going to start a blm please answer some questions.

[Kainryu]

I haven't decided if i will be Hume, Mithra or Taru. I think Taru. I want to be the best possible BLM so do Tarutaru make the best BLMs?

Also I would appreciate that you guys gave me a leveling guide if I start in Windurst for my BLM. And I would like to know if i should level whm first to 18, do the subjob quest and then go Blm/Whm.

I have the game and all but I will make a Taru because I tried to be a mage with my elvaan and he has too little MP and INT.

Thanks in advance and all other tips appreciated.

Tarutaru are the best in every aspect except that they will usually die in one hit later on if they get agro. Well, if they get hit by the special or a critical or something. XD;; That may be overreacting, but they have poor HP and VIT, so they arnt ment to take damage. But other than that, they are the best.

And oh yea, they're short.

If you want to be the "the best possible BLM", then definitly go with Taru. For BLM, INT and MP are the 2 most important stats, and Taru has the highest of both in the game.

We do have low HP. I used to die alot because of that. However, as you get higher in level, and people start to get a hang of the party dynamics, you will hardly ever get attacked. It's been a long while since I last died in an exp party. However, quest/mission party is another story. :sweat:

Starting at Windurst is pretty easy. Personally I found it easier, for a taru, to get through the early levels as a BLM then a WHM. Avoid the crawlers until you can deal with the poison. With our limited HP, crawler poison often spells death in the early levels.

I'd just stay in Sarutabaruta for 1~9 or so, moving north for stronger mobs as I level. Then move to Tahrongi Canyon and work past the early teens. At this point you can either head to buburimu or valkrum for parties, which can be painful at this level, or go level solo or in a small mage group on Maze Makers (worms) in the Maze.
