Hi, thanks. Updated.
Some slight updates were made to the guide overall, including a few job rankings (including R8). I honestly haven’t seen enough of the R8s though to make absolute judgment calls on my own opinion (heck I haven’t even seen an Enchanter in ET).
Overall the idea is that with R8 classes, you shouldn’t struggle that much in ET. Especially if there’s a Sage in the party, that trivializes most of the floors altogether.
Though it might be a bit of a pain to make Lolopanther items now due to the change of Lv. 1 Earth Fragments, if you haven’t farmed a stock of the fragments beforehand.
Without much saying, it’s not worth it to farm Lolopanther weapons at all. The money investment can go into better 315 purple or orange grade weapons and shields.
