I always loved this job, so I decided to re-gear and whatnot. I have a list of stuff I want; I may pursue an empy eventually, but it's not on my to-do list for the near future.
Anyway, I have a second sword slot I need to dump something into. So far I have a STR Shamshir +2 and a Hannibal's, but Hannibal's is just a placeholder... the mp -> tp kinda pisses me off. Should I:
-Try to grab an Isador from an empy group until the level increase (or Almace, whatever comes first).
-Grind up another STR Shamshir +2 in my free time (I'm always doing something, so "free" time is rather small).
-*insert another quick sword option that isn't bad here*
This is for both inside and outside Abyssea if that even matters.
-edit- If anyone on Fenrir is working on an empy which requires fighting Isgebind, and if it's going to hit the floor anyway, I'll gladly proc blue to lot it xD lol.

Regearing BLU - Sword
Mageblade comes to mind for a quick hold over until a second shamshir or isador. Isador would hold you over until Almace.
most blue mages have auto refresh trait set (plasma charge and winds of promy. easiest one) and if u have +2 blu body, that's 2/tic refresh alone making for a total of 3/tic refresh, so u can do hannibal's in off hand and not lose any mp at all and get 1/tic regain instead and still use battery charge to gain more mp. It's looked over quite often as an off hand sword. Just my opinion though.
Thanks for the quick reply Austar; I'll poke the NM a couple times to see if it drops, but I'd rather not have to use that Mageblade for very long xD.
I guess my main reason for asking was because I've seen people talk bad about the Isador for some reason, but it doesn't look like a bad weapon to me: high base damage, fast cast, and a little m.acc for headbutt. I know it doesn't have the +STR and +Attack that another Shamshir would give (and obviously isn't as amazing as an Almace), but it doesn't seem particularly bad for something I can get in a couple hours if I have awful luck. I don't have a +2 body yet Xenshi, nor do I have any nifty idle things like refresh hairpin/subligar(ew), so it just kinda irritates me. Just a personal distaste, it can be decent *shrug*. STR Shamshir will be a better choice in the long run (level cap increases) if you're not planning on getting CDC, but Isador's a solid choice and 5% Fast Cast is handy. I'll be spending time in Uleguerand in the near future and we need to farm Isgebind at some point anyway, shoot me a tell sometime if you decide you want an Isador.

I use Isador/Hannibal's, don't really plan on making any Empyrean or Magian weapons, so this is my perma-setup. I'm more concerned with +2 items atm :)
