The bonus skill levels in the equipment stats are the need only one stat to show you how it affects damage and accuracy. More skill = more damage and more accuracy.
Thank you for your explanation.

BTW, while I have the ear of knowledgeable people . . . I have another thread / issue open about my Son's character (Ramrat on Ragnarok) not being able to proceed in RoV. While in a CS he got DC (power loss) and when he got back on to both my computer and his own, he's unable to start the CS over again OR continue to the next mission.

What should we do? Are we doing all we can by posting on these forums? Honestly, he's worried he'll never get to "finish" FFXI and he's been playing since March 2004 and would like to complete RoV, as well as the other expansions.

All I can say is have faith, trust, etc, but I don't know . . .
