    Concerning Elvaans...

    I am planning to get FFXI soon and I have chosen to be a Drk/Mnk as an Elvaan. Only problem is that lately I saw that Elvaans have bad accuracy. I know that is less noticeable in the higher levels, but how long will I have terrible accuracy? Is it extremely obvious? Any help would be appreciated.

    P.S. Monk is a good Sub-Job for a Dark Knight, right?

      You can edit posts :spin:

      As for elvaan melee, you'll have to rely on more Dex gear than other races. There isn't too much you can do about accuracy at lower levels. I think the DRK accuracy is more noticable than Elvaan accuracy, you have high delay weapons so each miss seems worse

        Please... Elvaan accuracy problems is a myth. At lvl 60, ELV will only have 3 less dex than a HUM. 3 Wow! that's like a whole accuracy point. By that lvl, everyone's gonna miss. You're gonna need snipers no matter what race you are.

        Admittedly, MTH do have more leeway compared to all other races, but they give up some STR.

          I like Mithra's low strength when using WS relying heavily on the STR stat..

            seriously our acc is the same (maybe Humes/Galka/Tarus have a 1% higher acc rate, WOWZER!) it's no big deal =T

              DRKs gain the jobability "Accuracy down" at lvl 10, 30 and 50 *nods sagely*

                =/ I think its wierd how ppl can say stuff like "Wow, 5 points in XXX skill doesnt matter at XX level". I find it ODD because ppl are willing to pay so damn much for +1 in a skill to be better.

                I mean damn, in Gilgamesh Bastok, Saintly Ring +1 is 90k when Saintly ring is 2k.

                Geez, its a wierd gaming environment. So, obviously, i think 1 point makes SOME difference, and not even a minor one like ppl want to believe.

                If we don't like something, collectively, if our hatred for it throbs like an abscess beneath every thread, does that mean that they're doing something right?

                  The formula for spell effectiveness and stats is a little different from dex and accuracy. An extra +1 MND for ~90k is extremely wasteful IMO. The ppl who bought them must be extremely rich and just want to pimp out their character.

                    I suppose that makes sense, but i'd like a DEFINATE answer. Like, why my spells may stick the second time, or when they dont stick w/o Yew Wand +1, but they do when i have on my Small Sword (wooo, +2 in DEX.. not sure wth that means for me tho...)

                    Elvaan are ok. I think they're a pretty cool race. They do RDM pretty good, well, for a while. After some game time, their higher melee means jack shit cause RDM get shafted in that. But everything comes down to gear...

                    Wierd.. all the classes i wanted to play are bad-ass when played by Elvaan (the way they hold bows and guns is unnecessary - -; yet i chose Taru... >.> ah well.

                      There are un-official formulas here in the forum's history. Search back far enough and you will find out how mnd+int affect a rdm's enfeebles, how int and magic skill affect nuking, and more recently, in the war forums there is a working formula for accuracy.
