Merchant Miki is still in New Leaf City, on the platform above the NLC Mall.

I also recommend getting a Jr. Boogie familiar, which heals 15% MP every 10 seconds.

You could also get the Mutant Snail familiar later on that also heals hp every few seconds.

OP plays a mage, he'd have better use of the jr boogie familiar for the time being. Added benefit of it being significantly easier to get one of those than a mutant snail.

To add to this, once you get into doing bosses on a regular basis, you'll start getting power elixirs. They're just like ginger ale, except they heal 100% instead of 75%. While I won't suggest dumpstering all of your potions as soon as you get 30 power elixirs from a boss, you shouldn't throw them out or sell them.

Arcane force itself is a kind of prequest to training maps and end game bossing, a really long and repetitive one at that. It makes absolute sense for AF to carry over your characters.

I personally wouldn't mind if Arcane Force was account wide, but just Arcane Force, not symbols; the other bonuses, like stats and even the damage bonus from having high arcane force are too powerful to be a one and done a day, they'd have to be tied to something like actually having the symbols themselves. I have like 30, almost 40 characters over 200, and at least 10 5th jobbers. I don't think it's fair to get thousands of stats and a damage bonus on all those characters on what amounts to just 30 minutes a day for me.

This would be more like the new blockbuster change, not what OP is asking for.

Exactly. He's trying to say getting arcane symbols on 30 characters for the work of one character is a quality of life change. It's not. It sails past quality of life and lands squarely in "I want handouts".

The setup for absolab is to use the cape, shoulder, glove, shoe and weapon. This gets you the five-piece set effect, seen here:

Yes, I'm well aware that's a thief set, but the set effect is the same regardless of class.

Essentially, you lose the 30% boss damage from the cra set, but you gain it back plus about 95 weapon/magic attack from the absolab set. You also gain tier 4 potentials, which is where you'll see 10% unique lines and 13% legendary lines as opposed to tier 3's 9% unique and 12% legendary. You also gain more from scrolls and enhancement stars.

It's a fairly costly route to go, since absolab parts cost, depending on your class and server, ~600m and up.

I'm assuming you're referring to your weapon as being a fafnir staff?

Look into replacing the earring and pendant with superior gollux, replace either synergy or vengeance with the same. Other than that, unless you want to go for five-piece absolab, you're more or less set for now. You're definitely not "endgame" by any stretch, but what you've got is decent enough to carry you a ways yet.
