WHM All You Need To Know

[Missing Link]

To all the WHM's in BD welcome ^^ here are some useful treads to help out with whm questions. Best SUB for WHM is SMN. BLM's are good for soloing and noob lvls only.
RDM SUB huh??

What can a WHM put on in the morning?

This Thread has everything from how to use WHM magic - To how to make gil as a WHM.
Please check out the Rare/EX Gear section of this tread
If a piece of gear looks nice let us know

For Rare/EX
I recommend

Mycophile Cuffs lvl 25 (Rare/Exclusive)Spawn Time 15min drop Rate I'm guessing 33% got mine on the 3rd kill, I'll even help get them for you. However, you do need CoP. Other than the Cuff's are easy and cheap to get. BEST HAND GEAR for lvl25 WHM or BLM's alike
SMN i recommend if u have a whm sub Devotee's Mitt's lvl27 or Zealotmit Mitts lvl11 since enmity doesn't come into play for the smn job you should be focused on u're sub job stats

Pilgrim's Wand lvl 10 (Ra/Ex)-- Macro Weapon for healing Only.
At this lvl +2 MP regen while healing is sweet to have. The NM "Nunyenunc" is lvl12 & Spawns in West Sarutabaruta@ H5,H6,I5,I6 (Bird) Spawn time 2h & its a 100%Drop Rate. got mine in 20-30min though^^Hunt some crawlers while u're at it. THis wand will last until Dark Staff lvl 51

To go along with this thread here are the Coffer Maps as well ^^ You have to click on the blue "Chest & Coffer Icon" under "Map Display" when you get to the map to show the coffer spawn points. Might seem simple but it took me longer than it should have to figure this out.

Garlaige Citadel- Healer's Cap
ffxi.somepage.com/zonedb/7
This is one of the hardest maps to get around in you need 4 people just to get from area to area. The chest spawn rate they say takes 30min in Area3 of the map. I waited 3h's for mine sniff sniff

Crawler's Nest- Healer's Pantaloons
ffxi.somepage.com/zonedb/16
This one was easy and fun one to do compared to Garlaige Citadel. It's also a good way to lvl staff skills 100-150.

Eldieme Necropolis- Healer's Briault
ffxi.somepage.com/zonedb/70
This takes a while to drop

Beadeaux- Healer's Mitts
ffxi.somepage.com/zonedb/17
The NM had alot of HP's takes about 3 lvl 75s to bring down

Foods you want to Eat:
I don't believe in Pies 30-45 MP is nothing compared to MP Regen. However I'm also a tarutaru so i do have a prejudice.

Ginger Cookie - MP Regeneration While Healing +5, Plantoid Killer, Resist Slow (lasts 3 min, stacks to 99)
Just a small note about Ginger Cookies... these can be bought from the traveling troupe of NPC's that reside in the home town of whoever is first in the conquest. Excellent food for hMP and extremely cheap at 10-12g each. Even if you are a WHM on a budget, there is NO reason to XP without food when such a cheap and effective choice like this exists.

Better than Ginger more Gil though
*Wizard Cookie - MP Regeneration While Healing +7, Plantoid Killer, Resist Slow (lasts 5 min, stacks to 99) An EXCELLENT WHM food if you are looking for hMP. Many WHM use these in XP parties all the way up to lvl 75 and beyond. At 25-30k a stack I do not recomend these for low lvl PTs

Even Better than Better is
:)Mushroom Stew - MP +40, Strength -1, Mind +4, MP Regeneration While Healing +4, Enmity -4 (lasts 180 min, does not stack) I LOVE this food (and it's HQ). It is an awesome food for WHM and gives great boosts to all of the stats we adore. It might be a little on the pricey side 13-17k last time i checked (unless you are working on that Cooking ;P), but this is a great food. But as always, everything depends on the situation! You probably don't want to eat this 3 hour food until you are fairly confident in your party, and it might even be overkill for most XP parties.

Drinks you want to use in addition to the food:
Drinks can & should be stacked upon what you already had for food.
DRINKS DO NOT STACK IN YOUR INVENTORY. for that reason a WHM,BLM, & SMN side profession should be a cook

Pineapple Juice -1 MP Regen every 3 seconds for 240 seconds, 80 total. Good over all especially for the price^^

Melon Juice - 2 MP Regen every 3 seconds for 135 seconds, 90 total. Good when linked by a mob or in a pinch for MP's.

:)Yagudo Drink - 2 MP Regen every 3 seconds for 180 seconds, 120 total. This is a staple item for many capped missions and BCNM's. It is pretty much EXPECTED that you will have a few of these in such cases.

What would LINK wear
WHM want to have MND, MP, MP regen,-Enmity
I brought together this armor guide to help you decide on what to wear. These are simply guide lines. If something is to expensive go for something alil cheaper. Need more MP's buy something with more MP's. All MP gear I do suggest using with a macro then switching to MND gear. I did not throw in solo gear because that's just way to long.

Weapons-

lvl 9 Willow Wand +1 Dmg: 6 Dly: 210 INT: 3 MND: 3

lvl 13 Hermit's Wand Dmg: 6 Dly: 216 INT: 2 MND: 2 Spell Interruption Rate: -25%(This weapon is good for SMN solo avatar battle's NIN duel wield will also help. Do not use these in regular ex pt's though.)

MP isn't the end all for WHM as after cure4 and especially cure5 it becomes rare in deed when you have to wait on their MP. Usually you have to wait o the pld cuz they didnt buy their dark staff, or on the blm or on something else. Plus /blm has conserve mp which is nice. And in general the extra person to sleep and escape and tractor is always nice.

[thownwh]

yea thats true...but i dont plan to lvl whm anymore ^^ im too sick of idiot PT's that fight either out of cure range or right in my face...or just dont let me heal then complain when i have to rest as their fighting -.-

[Haushinka]

When I play whm:
After the puller pulls i haste everyone that needs it then regen the tank and rest.
Once somone needs a heal I stand and Cure4 then rest again.
Assuming there arent massive status down effects this method keeps me with MP all the time and no one ever has to wait on me.
