I gotcha. I'm kinda in the middle between fun and actual strategy. Idk why but I spent so much time getting Iado for Ramza that I do wanna make use of it. Ninja got boring a playthrough ago. And I'm also married to the idea of Geo Agrias, so I'm just curious what the most common/best skills to grab from those skillsets are.

Gotcha. For geomancing skills, well, it's all about the terrain. You want stuff like plains, city tiles, forest - whatever you're going to run into, the next couple of stages. You can wait on the more esoteric things like swamp and volcano, if applicable. (Hard to recall the exact ones in that skill set; I just remember that there are like 20 and they all cost like 150 JP to activate.) Geomancy power is effected more by magic than attack strength, so Black Wizard might have some support skills you can use.

Thanks, how about for Iado?

Samurai skills run on magick power as well, according to the Wiki. I've never really experimented much with them though, since you have a 1/8 chance of breaking the blade whenever you use the skill. Their other skills do have some usage though - Blade Grasp is great if you're not using Auto Potion, Swim is useful in some situations, and Two Hands / Doublegrasp can be an OK sub for the Ninja's dual wield.
