there is a -5 evasion stat on there. The only thing that makes Assault peice better than Coreal earring is it adds 2 accuracy. and an HQ coreal (Mermans in english i guess) is well over 1million gil, so good luck getting that! btw god setup, ie, Terry's setup XD:

Dark Scythe+1
Obelisk Hat
Hauberk+1 3milliom
Thick Mufflers+1 100,000+
Thick Breeches+1 100,000+
Thick Greaves+1 100,000+
Peacock Charm3million
HQ Coreal (Mearman?)
HQ Coreal
Sniper's Ring+1 2million
Sniper's Ring+1 2million
Sitting in inventory: Vassago 50,000 and Assault pierce

Let's add up the accuracy, shall we? 10+12+3+3+2+10+7+7
A whopping +54 accuracy. And if he decides to go crazy and throw on assault and vassago add 5+2, thats +61 acc. Hmmm, I wonder if he even needs sheild break anymore...

i was just wandering about the prices of this stuff on diffrent servers what i know is whit i put in quote. pls post prices.i am in ifrit.. that is alot of money how do u get that mutch?i need to know..i herd some thing about ls distribution i am confused!:confused:

[Awntawn]

Too much gil... some of this stuff has never even sold before cuz it's too expensive. The prices hero listed there are each missing a 0... ;;

Absolutely positively impossible to buy all of that stuff with gil.

The only way to get it is if your HNM LS hunts the materials from HNMs and the LS guilders make it for you.

[SAVAGE]

ERR first off ACC++ is great, BUTTTTTT, DEX is also needed. Even if this rumor is true that 2DEX=1ACC you still want it. DEX contributes to alot, speed of attack/accuracy of course/critical hits etc etc. Same for STR, you will not always want ATT boosters, sometimes STR you will want. I would sudgest mixing with both.

[MAK]

2 DEX = 1 accuracy isnt a rumor...lol its very true. I would take accuracy over dex any day.

[Antwan_3000]

in Bastok (on the Carbuncle server), Bravehearts (lvl 18 GS) are going for about 30,000 gil in the AH...

anyone know if they are cheaper elsewhere?...

[coolffxi]

Awntawn what is your set up?
and how mutch is this stuff on your guys servers?
where are the special monsters to get that stuff?
what stuff can u get from them?
how meny of the items?
how do i get in to a HNM LS ?



ps there is a staff on the ifrit server in jeuno going for over 13,000,000gil !{*_*}!i think it is a ice staff,i wander what a pluto staff would go for?!!

[SAVAGE]

Yes i know DEX2=ACC1 but if you go all ACC your going to attack slower than someone who had DEX items, critical less. And if you ahve the right mixture of acc and dex yuou wont hit anymore then the next person.

[MAK]

no you wont hit faster with dex..delay is delay only thing that changes that is hatse and slow

[TokeN]

How would he not know that at 40?

[kumaeru]

Dex does add very little accuracy (2:1 ratio), but Dex also adds higher chances of critical hits. Now your choice is Hit more often (accuracy), or miss scythe swings more but still have higher chances of criticals.

Personally Accuracy > Dex. And that will what it will be for most people.

[SAVAGE]

I wont argue about delay thing becuase if thats true then ninja job is messed up becuase everyone says they attack faster as there lvl gets higher, but as a subjob there dualwield doesnt attack faster, doesnt make sense to me if Delay is Delay and T.T

[Hisdon]

they get passive traits, dual wield bonuses at 20, 40, and 60, so yeah, with at 40, your lvl 20 sub will make your dual wield attack faster as a NIN. I works but not till a higher lvl.

[Saurian]

if 2str=1atk, what is the point of str?

I cant seem to find any reason to use str over attack, same w/ dex over accuracy.

[Awntawn]

str is for monks and dex is for thieves :spin:

EDIT: there's absolutely no proof that I can dig up for this, but I think that it makes sense to have mnk's base H2H D be it's str/2 or something close to that, then the grapples add to it.

[Saurian]

what makes str for monks as opposed to some other melee class?
