SE what were you thinking?Follow

You macro them in by not carrying both at the same time.

Why would you ever need to carry a cure staff and a fire staff at the same time? Hell, for that matter, why would you even make a fire staff if you didn't already have thunder/ice?

Alternatively, get with the times and get 80 already.

Either way, this is not something that they are likely going to change.

Then equip them manually, or get to 80.

Again, you are very unlikely to see a solution to this because giving the lv80+ staves different names WAS their solution. Level 75 was so yesterday, anyway.



Spoken like someone not making use of a sorc ring.

Sorry Fyn, but "get to 80" isn't a good solution to the problem he's having.

Also, to the OP, this issue has been brought up SEVERAL times before your post, and currently it's along the lines of a "beating a dead horse" post.

SE screwed up just a bit on this one, it's been mentioned, and mentioned again. We all get it. We all don't understand what they were thinking. Maybe they'll change it, maybe not.

In his defense, it is the SE solution. And we all know we can't expect anything better than half-assed.

I'm with Fynlar here. Leveling to 80 IS the solution. Abyssea offers such good exp rewards, you can get a level in a regular xp run easily. Up till then, you can stick with a single Teiwaz for macro purposes, and HQ staves for the rest.

PS2 limitations simply don't allow every single trial to have a uniquely named weapon. SE did cave in a little with the 80 staves, because we'll likely be running around with those for another 10 levels, but you can't expect every single trial to reward a differently named item.

What we need is the ability to give our items custom names, only visible to ourselves. That doesn't break the PS2, avoids exploiting and works for any past, present of future augmented items. It allows "MagCritRing" (Demon's Ring) as well as "Teiwaz I", "Teiwaz F" etc.

PS2 limitations is the explanation for everything, didn't you hear? It's basically FFXI's "a wizard did it"

Belittling people who aren't around is the best way to belittle people. It would have been a bad idea if they actually visited this place.

Never mind that doing all 8 staves will give you almost twice the amount of exp required to go from 75-80.

I have finished both the Ice and Thunder staves so far and have gotten around 50k of exp from each one....
