He probably means +1, since the Noct +1 gives Dex/Agi +2

Damn i thought someone crafted it on a server, i was getting ready to buy it for my RNG

I wish :D

It'd probably be in the hundred thousands though ;_;

well a thfs job is too really transfer hate not as much to do damage. so if you arnt using ur tp for sa+ta your not as good imo. but i guess you can get tp fast with archery.

Reading through this thread a bit i was kinda curious about the gun as a thf. Is it feasible to use as a thf? Or just another status symbol saying "Look at me i am rich". But if it actually does decent dmg with capped marksmanship i will probally use one.

I have a noct brais +1 now, but I was wondering whats better for higher levels, that or the AF pants? I'm going to guess AF.

Yukimura it's more of just a status thing, for coolness. Thief doesn't get access to many guns but it's cool still. Crossbow is our best bet to helping the party if you truely have your heart set on a few ranged attacks, acid bolts. And this takes alot of rng acc, the latest +1 rng acc rings on an equipment macro and something to switch back to dex rings for SATA and if you have them snipers for tp gain with daggers. +1 noct gear definitely, although if you have better dex/agi equips(LL,hairpin) you'll need more equipment macros which really isn't a big problem. And of course rng sub...But maybe thf/nin using a *insert damaging SATA dagger* + a archer/hawker knife would be equally fine.

Even with all this you'd probably still miss quite a bit, but it should help land that one needed acid bolt shot eventually.

711 it depends what you're doing. solo defiitely AF pants with its +4 agi. For party this depends and I plan to keep both. I just obtained my AF pants last night from the castle.

Althought the difference would be small, it's definitely even if slightly going to help your tp gain. If you're fighting inc-tough++ mobs and you're just that very border between hitting decent-hitting alot, those little differences carry you over the top. But for SATA, for very obvious reasons 4agi > 2 dex I'd imagne and this is what I plan to do.

So remember, if you're only having 60-75% hit rate, a few extra dex can make the difference up considerablely because you were on that very verge of being 80%+ acc. Or insert whatever acc% you want for a certain mob, that was just an example.
