Job points + Reward cap? two AF pieces give you +57?

[Gwydion]

Hi SE,
I have two questions about Beastmaster with respect to Reward and Job points:

1.) Why does Reward cap at 50% if I can equip two pieces and get Reward +57%? How does the job point Reward augment work? Does it go above this cap?

Totemic Jackcoat+1 = Reward + 22
Ankusa Gaiters+1 = Reward + 35
Total = +57 but cap is at +50%
Job points Reward Effect = +10%

What is happening here? Are we getting Reward +50? +57? +60? +67%?

2.) Why does 60 job points give Beastmaster a Magic Accuracy bonus? What is the point here?

Any information you guys have would be GREATLY appreciated.

3.) Does Reward Effect from ob points go beyond the 50% cap?



Thank you!

Edit: Added 3rd question.

1. The cap was made back when getting 50% was really hard. Rejoice that you only need 2 pieces to do it now and can sub in more -recast and mnd pieces. Or you could use Ankusa body instead to remove more status effects when you reward. Job points are a separate term. So with 50%+ reward you would be getting reward*1.5*1.1 or +65%

2. The same reason all the melees do. For various ws that are magical or have additional effects that are

From what I've read magic acc. is used for charm also.

I'm still waiting for the name change to Jugmasters and the removal of the <charm> /ja.

Your inferences or educated guesses seem really spot on. However, I would like to hear from SE if any of this is as accurate as you describe. Thanks for your reply!

The only inference was the guess on why 50% is the cap when it's so easy to cap now. The gearing part was just logical of what can you do within the way it works. The jp thing has been tested and I believe SE said so at one point. And the whole why do melees get macc gifts has also already been addressed by SE I believe it was when someone asked why war gets them

you know considering the power one can get out of primal rend i would think you would actually enjoy the macc >.> ..... tho i guess not alot of stuff resist light dmg

While not a lot of mobs have resistance to light specifically some just have overall high meva. And don't forget cloudsplitter!
