Enhancing SKill Capping????

[Zoros]

people seem to disagree on this a little. Some say go utside ur mog house and cast bar-seplls and protect and crap and when u run outa mp go in mog hosue and repeat 50000 times.

Some say dont worry about it, and that it will cap on its own.

What should i do?

What job are you planning to do this with? RDM caps naturally, but other jobs need to spam mostly to keep cap.

[Zoros]

lol hmmm why is this in the RDM forum... of corse rdm, so you think itll cap on its own with refresh and other crap liek that?

[Lasareth]

you didn't see that <_<

Anyways, if you take time to farm gil, then yes, you will cap out once you get Refresh. Other than that, you need to spam for a bit before EXP starts building per level (~55-60) if you're going to straight up EXP PT.

The thing about enhancing magic is that it starts out WAY behind. Enhancing magic doesn't start getting used regularly until you hit 21 and start using Regen a lot.

My Enhancing magic did not cap until I hit level 55 and spent a month doing coffers and helping people while I waited for the LS to do G2. Once I finally got it capped though, it's been easy to cap during each 20k exp level afterwards.

But if you really want to get it capped, chain-casting bar-spells is the best way.

Do rdm and brd instead of rdm and whm, your enhancing should cap every level after you get haste and refresh. You will also learn mp conservation to the upmost, well there was that time I was only healer in a pt at level 34 as a bard, that was probably extreme mp conservation ^^.

I had my enhancing magic capped at level 50, because I was doing so much farming, Enblizzard, Refresh, Regen, Haste while farming eventually got it capped.
+Any time before that when I was looking for a party I would chain cast Bar spells.

Enhancing will definitly cap on its own if you stick with rdm or whm long enough. Also, don't bother with that zone trick. Go to altepa/kazham/norg and stand next to the nomad moogle. Whenever you run out of mp just switch subjobs, no zoning required, but again this really isn't needed. My enhancing capped when I reached lvl 60 and has quickly capped every lvl after that. Healing magic is another matter entirely. :sweat:

[Kilgraw]

I've had capped enhancing since level 35ish. When your waiting for a party, cast enhancing magic till you find one. Waiting for the airship? Cast some spells. Simple things like that keep it capped pre-50.

[Pounce]

As of the early 60s, my enhancing magic was not capped despite all the refreshing I've done.

I don't remember when exactly it capped, but I think it was during my loong marathon of wespe killing for Hornetneedle.

Most of it was done solo, so that was one heck of a lot of Refresh + Stoneskin + Phalanx + Protect + Haste + Enspell being done =P.

i recently capped mine at 135. farming is where i got alot of skillups, as well as regen and refresh. i've spammed regen in every single party that i've been in since lvl 21, so until refresh that's about all the enhancing skillups you'll be getting.

[Numenorean]

Well below 60 even spamming refresh and haste dun gives u reasonable skillup like enfeebling or elemental..but >60 enhancing is real easy to cap..no idea why but the rate is like 20 refresh = skill up once rather than <60 where over 100 refresh and no skillup

[Lauranthalasa]

One thing I've noticed is that when I sit in Jeuno and spam all my enhancing spells, I might get one skillup for every 2 or 3 times I run through my list, but if I'm in the field, I get skillups every two or 3 spells cast (usually sneak and invis give me .3's).

Is there some kind of reasoning behind that? Has anyone noticed that their skills go up more if they're in a 'dangerous' zone as opposed to a 'safe' city zone? So would it be better to zone into Batallia or Rolanberry and cast spells there as opposed to sitting infront of the Mog House to hop in and refill MP?

[Nodoka]

For the love of god please dont spam spells in areas with lots of people. >.<

I've heard about this. I think its also if you were to start chain-casting in East Ron, vs. Ifrit's, Ifrit's would give you more skill-ups.

Now I'm stuck trying to think of an easy to get to place, that's a lot higher than I.
