Accuracy Problems..

[Zeth]

I was partying with a Galkan mnk a few days ago, of the same level and same sub, yet I couldn't help but notice how much I kept missing compared to him. Now I was on the understanding that Humes has a slightly better dex than Galkans, not that that makes much of a different, but our set up was almost the same aswell.


Here's my current set up;

Weapon: Tactician Magician's Hooks
Head: Temple Crown
Neck: Spike Necklace
Earrings: 2 Spike Earrings
Body: Gaia Doblet
Hands: Temple Gloves
Rings: 2 Sun Rings
Back: Wolf Mantle +1
Belt: Life Belt
Legs: Masters Sitabaki
Feet: Temple Gaiters

Here's his;

Weapon: Tactician Magician's Hooks
Head: Mercenary Captains Headgear
Neck: Spike Necklace
Earrings: 2 Spike Earrings
Body: Jujitsu Gi
Hands: Temple Gloves
Rings: 2 Sun Rings
Back: Wolf Mantle +1
Belt: Brown Belt
Legs: Masters Sitabaki
Feet: Temple Gaiters


Now I sold my Jujitsu Gi to a friend because I'm pretty close to my AF armour anyway and he just got to level 40, but still, having the life belt gives me a higher +accuracy than the Galkan mnk. Out of 10 hits, I'd miss 3-4, where a he'd miss, maybe 1 or 2. This went on for a few hours. Anyone got any ideas?

The answer is simple.

well in a few levels you can blow all your saved up seals on BCNM60 in Horals Peak (Orc BCNM). Its pretty easy with the right strat and you can score Spectacles.

If you need some more info on this BCNM lemme know.

My guess is you were just watching him at his best (i.e., when he had focus and berserk up, and you didn't). I've grouped with many a drk that I thought was just owning me damage-wise because their hits are so large, but I go back and check the logs and I've outdamaged them by 40+%. ^^

Humes and galka have the same base dex, so he has one dex on you, you have six accuracy on him. I guarantee you were more accurate than he was, overall (assuming you both used focus just as frequently).

Tha Big Cock stikez again.

Try using the Accuracy ring, u can purchase it at the Auction house for like 12K or so (regardless of stats/race) ACU + 12, DEX + 4. Believe me bro, itz worth every cent.

[Zeth]

I've never even heard of such a ring..:confused:

And Ungerpurr, we were Focusing about the same amount, we both landed nearly every hit when we done that. I don't know, maybe I wasn't seeing some of the times he missed, but he just seemed to be hitting more often than me, even though he shouldn't have been able to. Still seems strange to me though, I don't think I over looked anything..

[Dano]

question: do both of you have the same h2h skill ? coz that affects accuracy alot too, maybe you just lvled and dont have h2h skill max out yet.

or yer just really unlucky. Coz shit do happens, i've seen myself miss 8 hits in a row against a IT with +32 acc and focus on.

[Thark601]

yeah no shit... i've watched myself miss almost half a fight with 24ACC and focus, and then i've seen myself go an intire fight not missing a single attacking, getting double attack to land every other swing.. lol

Hmmm I have been having acc problems as an elf, and I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on using jackolanterns as opposed to Miths for food in a party?

definatly not, there purpose is for skill ups, your loosing alot of damage by not opting for kabobs

if you miss to much don't be cheap farm up 800k and get yourself 2 sniper rings

[Dano]

dont think the lanterns are necessary, meats increase yer atk by 20% and adds bout 5 (or 6?) str.

if yer missing alot, even with the sniper rings and life belts, then check if the mages are casting gravity and frost or not (which is very important). Update yer sub frequently, war tend to miss less normal hits coz double attack kicks in frequently, while thf sub dont miss their ws using sneak and trick.

if that doesnt help, you must be xping off something that's not in yer lvl range

Jack-O-Lanterns don't add +10 accuracy. (how did that rumour get around anyway?) The stats for Jack-O-Lantern is -10 CHR, +25 Darkness.

Eyeball/Optical soup on the other hand adds +12 accuracy, and a few other stats...

Jack-O-Lanterns actually do add +10 acc. I looked it up in the FFXI strategy guide.

Ahh, that explains it. The strategy guide, well, says alot of things... (BST pets take EXP away from party.... Grrr that's one mistake the strat guide made that has caused alot of grief for BSTs....).

Anyhow, many much more reputable sources report that it doesn't add 10 accuracy.
