Newbie Mag Question

Hi there,

I recently started a Racaseal on this server and I am attempting to max out her stats for the first time. I was using this guide to raise my mag and got it to level 97 before I realized I didn't meet the equation needed to evolve it into Rati.

My question is this: If I want to raise a mag for Racaseal per the Racaseal builds on this Ephinea thread is it at all possible to get the mag I want (i.e. Rati or another 4th evo mag, or a rare mag/mag cell) or am I stuck using whatever I end up with after feeding it up to the required stats?

Sorry if my question is not clear, I am very new at mag raising in general.

edit: by the way my mag is currently a 5/57/38/0 lvl100 Madhu

A mag can evolve at every 5 levels so you can just raise the stats:

to 5/59/55/0

Then switch to: (For the last power 60)

Rati: Male Hunter.
Skyly, Pinkall, Yellowboze: DEF & POW = DEX & MIND.

Wouldn't Def + Pow = 65 and Dex & Mind = 55 in this scenario?

Your correct, I wrote it all wrong.

What I meant was 5/55/59/0
change to
Rati: Male Hunter.
Skyly, Pinkall, Yellowboze: DEF & POW = DEX & MIND.

Then add the extra DEX.

My bad sorry.

I think you still have a chance to evolve it at every 10th level (so 110, 120, 130 etc. because I did it on accident one time when the stats lined up right. Looks like you are doing the DEF + POW = DEX + MIND, so get POW to 60, then DEX to 65 to transform to Rati at lvl 130. Of course, if you were tryingt o max POW for it then you are SOL, but at least you can get some value from it?

To answer your question, looking at the thread you can't have the POW/DEX Rati because you would need to get DEX to 50 and the Ephinea guide stops DEX at 43. But if you want the Rati make a 5/45/50/0 mag then go POW for the rest.

It's already at 57 POW, so 5/60/65/0

Thank you that answers a lot of my questions! At this point would to be more worth it to go for the Rati or to have max POW with my current mag?

Up to you, You're halfway there with the mag raising and to me that's at least... 3 minutes min feed time, 95 levels raised, estimate 1 lvl per 2.5 feeds... that's 712.5 minutes invested, or almost 12 hours. And Rati looks cool and has those sweet abilities. Totally worth it. You are losing 7 POW (14 ATP) to gain 7 DEX (3.5 ATA), Kung Fu master says "speed, not strength, determines victor"

Right on! I was feeling the Rati too :D Thanks for the info, you'll have to direct me to your Kung Fu master sometime.

Additional final followup question:
Are there any starting mags I should be raising in order to have a sort of swiss-army knife style arrangement to use across all characters for maximum utility? Or should I simply be trying to use Max Stat mags per class every time.

Kung Fu master? That's easy: @Harborer of Hope !
Swiss Army Mags eh? I always like having a Mind-centric Sato mag in case I ever get a hankering for a FO char OR more specifically, in case my main uses techs and I need the MST boost to learn higher lvl techs. My first mag is usually a horrific chimera-like 22/98/53/27 because I'm just trying to raise any stat possible while slowly working on a "real" mag for later.
*edit: why a Sato? because KITTEH! And you can change the color!! Well, not change the color, but the starting color of the mag is the final color. It's based on the costume color when you start a char, or if you find a mag in game, equip it to see it's start color

Oh yeah I've definitely made Chimera-Type mags that are just all over the place, especially during the console-era PSO games. I figured I'd just start by making optimal mags from the beginning since they're so time-consuming. That Sato mag sounds great for Force; any suggestions for Hunters?

Hard to say, I personally like the way Nidra looks (red scorpion), and it's abilities are the same as Sato. For stats you will probably do a POW/DEX as well. Although, if you are doing a cast you want something that can cast S/D for you. Here is the list of mags and their abilities
http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=1016
 
Regarding RAcl build, I personally created mine around a 5/145/50/0 mag because I value wearing the mag I want (I like Rati even if it'shows a shit mag) over Evade/EVP (because that's the only thing you'll sacrifice by using a 5/145/50/0 mag rather than a 5/152/43/0 one)... EVP is a worthless stat anyway.

And if you're really desperate to have all yellow numbers, you can always equip a heavenly/legs (I wouldn't, but maybe it's important to you). There's only so many units a cast ranger can equip anyway.
