Help: How to keep spina up?

While I farm those recovery items, I use them at the same time

I can't find a better way than just leeching with my bishop at sites like shiki-onis. But this basically locks my bishop to do certain things, which I hate.

My solution to this is pretty simple lol. I'm a pal and I feel your pain bud, where I could've been off on mq with guildies and friends, in early days for me I actually took some solid time out from mq and lvling to work on lvling prod to the point it could pay for itself and keep me stocked with pots that I need. You kinda need higher lvl prod to really do well with it tho lol so a lot of patients is required.

Another thing you could try is, get yourself an HP reward kit like I've done recently i.e zweig shield off botaniga (heal up by vit, upgrade is by2 of vit) knights necklace for its heal reward (there's another spec equip from that mob near bw with +5% heal reward) and leather coat up with its 1k heal reward. These basically free you up from needing HP pots and tho with the lower HP you won't be hitting as hard, there are still alot of lower lvl mobs you could effectively aoe farm to sell their drops for enough spina to get you by. In a lot of these areas to that you would farm these lower lvl mobs there's usually others farming there also so it's easy to make a pt and effectively double what your getting.

Only from skill.
For more from pots you need things that give +item recovery increase the amount healed per % idk for items, but there's a few out there but I do know medical 1 2 & 3 from alchemy are extals that increase the amounts pots heal by 10, 20 & 30%



Also if you want to go further with heal rec set, keep farming botaniga lol, it's xtal is the only 1 I've found that gives heal rec also (up by vit) there might be others but I didn't see any when I looked over @caporals list of xtals.

Use a class that doesn't bleed spina. PLD is probably one of the worst class to farm mobs with unless you really know what you're doing. If you really Must use PLD, then look into minimizing your pot use. 

I've tried gears and xtals that make auto hp recovery but found none of them as effective as using onigiri+ altadora.

You should never go solo with guardian unless it is very necessary. When I was at your level, I did farm schlingel solo but I will stick to a party as much as I can. Exelis was very lucrative back then so I was able to support my pots consumption.

Solo killing bosses are easy.
Solo grinding them is not. So I went to grow my gears and level to be an effective solo grind. I grew my spina solo grinding mezza moldus zazel and ulshilth. 1xtal drop was able to pay for my pots + profit depending on my drop rate. But still party whenever I can. With anybody, because they will help shorten grinding time and make you consume less pots. There are a lot of times a party with 3ninjas because they are just so many.

You need to reach a point where your pots cost become insignificant.
