S6 Mana Needle Island (gacha) hermit staff: 111 MA
A hermit being easily-replaceable if blown up S6ing I can definitely understand (as lot more replaceable than other things), but aren't the gacha ones more limited? The 2 MA is probably not really worth specifically getting one of those unless it's cheaper than a crafted one.

Quote from Oberynn;1271491:
and being realistic/practical, 50~90 INT from artisan.
So aiming for 10-18 MA, do the removal kits get sold often in Alexina or something? Coming from Ruairi I've never seen anybody sell the kits for gold.

I guess NX sellers would be more prevalent there anyways though so that's always an option.

Quote from Oberynn;1271491:
There is 0 argument for not going s6 on magic weapons, because even the crappiest roll s6 weapons are better than whatever godly craft precious s5 item you think you shouldn't risk blowing up.
If we're talking the Magic Crafting items, then yeah. They come with nice dura and can be easily replaced.

Quote from Oberynn;1271491:
There are better options than this too, such as wand + reforged eagle shield or infinity staff but that might fall under things people might not be willing to do.
I think I've only seen like, 3 eagle shields ever in Ruairi.

Quote from Oberynn;1271491:
1010+ INT - 200+ MA. This is perfectly fair and doable for a magic oriented character
Agreed, with the talent especially and focusing on magic 1010+ int is reachable by all players with work.

Quote from Oberynn;1271491:
within a reasonable amount of time.
Debatable, AP limitations. Magic training is generally some of the easiest at least, but..
[spoiler="Time"]Fireball: 383 AP
Ice Spear: 438 AP
Firebolt: 109 AP
Icebolt: 92 AP
Lightning Bolt: 122 AP
1,144 AP for those as an example.

Assuming 99 AP from leveling, 29 AP from exploration.
15 AP from daily saga, 18 from daily SMs.

161 AP every 6 days 1 hour.
6.1 weeks to get those done without events contributing?[/spoiler]

Quote from Oberynn;1271491:
Meteor Strike Master ALO Asuna title - 90 MA. It's fair to expect this even if it takes dedication...
No it's not.

Quote from Oberynn;1271491:
or Magic Weapon Master Tarlach - 57 MA. ANYONE can have this.
The first yes (always obtainable and reasonably), the second no (but secondary titles are always coming out anyways).
