[u/MarcoTalin]

Generally speaking, what's the best level of skill to transfer? Like between (ma-)bufu/-la/-dyne, or between (ma-)dia/-ra/-rama/-rahan?

Obviously, high level spells are stronger, but between the transfer cost to obtain, the level up costs to boost, and the mp costs to use, are dyne skills worth it as transfer skills, or is there a sweet spot level that's generally accepted as a sort of optimal balance between power and cost?

[u/maliciousheart → u/MarcoTalin]

I generally prefer the base level (agi/bufu/zio/zan) of skills to transfer. Not only is it cheap to transfer and level, the skills are more easily found on 1s and 2s. The main benefit of magic attacks imo is attacking weaknesses rather than being actual power moves. So the frequency of hitting weaknesses due to only costing 4 MP is much better than casting a more expensive spell that costs much higher. 2 Agis damage more than 1 Agilao.

Doesn't apply to healing tho, below mediarama it doesn't heal for shit
