        Truthfully? Don't look at HQ staves until you have a level 75 job. They're more of a luxury to have than a necessity. It's the NQ staves you want to look at, and they're all relatively cheap.

        I still have a full set of NQ and I'm gonna work toward my HQ ice pretty soon, so yeah.

              Anyone has link to a well written explanation on what (all) the elemental staves do? Especially, what do they do for RDM's? I'm looking for something comprehensive and organized...

                  I know what the staves do and I'm a frequent visitor (and a sometime contributor) to FFXIclopedia; what I am looking for is a written guide for inclusion in The Red Mage Index for up and coming Red Mages who may not even realize they are needed, much less why.

                    You'll probably just have to write something up yourself, using the info from various other sites.

                    You may find an already written guide on Alla, but I would suggest just making one in your own words.

                      I'm one for two on writing guides; the macro one was well received, the support job guide was bad.

                      Doesn't anyone want to find a guide for me? >_>; That way, if questions regarding regarding the staves come up again, we can just point to it directly or The Red Mage Index...

                        If I was any good at the math of the game, I'd write one.

                          In short, each NQ staff gives +10% to everything and each HQ gives +15%(not including listed stats).

                          On the other hand, +6 INT/MND from a wand gives like +3% everything...

                            Good point. Not like a comprehensive guide really needs to be written.

                              -_-; You guys...

                              "3%" is like a number pulled out of thin air; MND is compared to MND, INT to INT--it's all relative. There're aren't even any sort of units attached to that post's "3%" and "15%".

                              Give information like to newbies and they will think it's all idiotic, and end up as RDM/NIN in exp parties because /NIN makes them uber DD's... -_-#

                                True, true. Plus, there are all those other various benefits to using the staves. Like the times a Ranger might want to use a Fire Staff, and so on. (I think it's a fire staff. Don't freak out if that's not right.)

                                I'd love to write a guide for the game, not necessarily about staves, but about something useful. Hell, I certainly talk about the game enough. But I'm not in-tune enough with the math and mechanics to give a comprehensive guide.

                                Maybe one of the other long time mages here in the forums could offer something up.
