Is this right?Follow

#1 Sep 22 2004 at 10:02 PM Rating: Decent
While battling solo in Valkurm Dunes for my subjob quest and looking specifically for the magicked skull, another player sent a shout "Does anyone need a magicked skull?" I replied with "how much" and he/she said "nothing." I asked for their location, and met with them. He/she seemed to not know how to trade it to me, but then finally figured it out and sent me a gob mask. I asked again about the magicked skull, and they said that they didn't have one, but we could "pt together and get it."

I realized that they were tricking me into partying with them so I walked away. I found this behavior to be quite rude. Was I wrong?

Not sure if he really wanted to deceive you or if there was a misunderstanding. I guess it could be that he was actually looking for help getting a skull for himself and wanted to find other people who also needed it.

Anyway, to find the skull you should head to Gusgen Mines in Konschtadt instead. There are Ghouls running around there all day instead of just during the night. If you want help getting the skull there are almost always people who mine there and people tend to be willing to help out. I can of course only speak for myself but whenever I mine there I do a /sea every now and then to see what my competition is like and whenever I see anyone without a sub not in a pt I offer to help getting the skull.

Yeah, sounds like they probably wanted to PT to kill the skelly's- since you can't trade them. I'd second the Gusgen option- got my 2 skulls there with a little help really quickly.

Thanks for the replies. I did just that (went to the Gusgen mines), Got the skull and completed the subjob quest. Since I am a RDM, any suggestions on which subjob I should pick? And how do I level it?

Thanks again. :)

I'd suggest starting out with BLM or WHM subjob, and just sub RDM when you level it up.


Remember to keep your subjob leveled up to max.. its always good.

I suggest leveling both WHM and BLM. You'll need them both eventually if you want to be a good Red Mage, as which support job you choose will depend on your role in the parituclar party. you alredy know the majority of the low-level spells from both classes thanks to your time as a RDM. The extra MP from a WHM/BLM or BLM/WHM combination compared to a ???/RDM combination will also help a bit.

The easiest way to do it is to alternate back and forth, and use them as support jobs for each other. That way, you can share gear between WHM and BLM (they use mostly the same gear, especially if you stay away from the slightly heavier WHM-only armor) while you level. It goes much quicker than it sounds.

How you level it is easy. Go back to your mog house, change your "Main Job" to whatever job you want to level, and pick whatever you want as a "Support Job". Once the new "Main Job" (which you intend to use as a Support Job later) is at the appropriate level, go back to your mog house, switch back to Main Job Red Mage, and pick the job you leveled for a Support Job.

Thank you two so much!!! You've been such a wealth of information. I didn't know that I change my main job to lvl others up. I thought the subjobs were a completely separate list that I lvl aside from my main job. Duh, LOL.

I have gotten skulls for people like that before. If I am farming and I see subjobless people in the zone I fill up my inventory before I kill ghouls. If I get a skull I send a tell and invite them quick. They lot. Get skull. He was probably trying to do this but got it wrong.

I think Bashnow is right, if they were in a party then it will go into the treasure window, so if you joined their party then you could lot on the skull and get it.
