No, in order to do honest work as a red mage, I need 45382 HP minimum, i380 gear, my actual strength. At my actual strength, the likes of that monster in the Greal Gubal Library and Lambard don't stnad a chance. Lilith, who I surmise is a close ally of Lakshmi in terms of how she looks and feels (i.e. a snake lady not to be messed with, though to be fair, Lakshmi looks more like a Bengal version of Titania-great, now I want her clothes for my glamour so I can turn Sakuta to stone as a tease, and boy do I love to tease my darling), was straightforward as she wasn't doing enough damage to threaten me in Mhach.
Of course, I didn't come to necessarily help Arya Calowise, who is now studying white magic with Raya-O-Senna at Camp Tranquil and black magic with Lalai Lai over in Ul'dah. White magic and black magic combine to form red magic. Blue magic is simply collecting actions from beasts. I told her, if you want to try it, be my guest but be wary that you will need to level up and level up quickly. I call her Ary for short. I don't think X'rhun Tia is quite fit to be a red mage instructor. I do like Arya's tenacity and resiliency.
So I told her, "if you want, you can help work as a teacher in Doma. We rebuilt the city from the ground up and there is a school called Rissai-Juku that teaches kids about adventuring, lore and other academic concerns." She accepted, and so she is spending time in Mor Dhona and Doma teaching the kids about all types of magic and the history of different eras in time, as well as being a specialist in teaching the legacy of Mhach. By remembering who she was, Ary took the first steps towards doing honest work and earning handsome sums of gil for her efforts. As a result, Ary was also given a residence in the Mist in between her work schedule. She has a Topmast Apartment room.
As for me, I am now a captain in three different Grand Companies and have farmed, on last count, over 140,000 Flame Seals, buying all the barding and furnishings and the minion and having some left over to stockpile. I got achievement after achievement after achievement. No need for antidotes against Lilith, either. My high item level did not fail me as a RDM, unlike DRG or BLM with my predecessor, who I have chosen to honor by donning her hairstyle and hairband. I can only hope that Yojimbo, of all fiends, won't be too harsh...who is Lambard trying to impersonate? Seiryu!?
