SMN Equipment

The first week of Soldiery tomes is about to end and I, like most people, will have already capped. But I don't know where I should begin with my upgrades.

At some point this week I'll be getting allagan belt, pants and book to get my SMN to i91, but should I cap tomes this coming week and purchase the weathered Evenstar body piece? Or wait until the week after and purchase the Weathered book of Spades first? Or should I forget both pieces for now and go for accessories first for accuracy?

I'm going for body first, then book after.

You can't get the weathered book of spades without beating turn 7 and getting the unidentified allagan tomestone that drops there, so keep that in mind.

That's something I forgot about, thanks for reminding me. So I guess the question is Body? Or accuracy accessories for T6+?

As along as you have more than 470+ of accuracy then you are fine for t6.

The clarify, the 470~ acc is what is needed for your pet. Someone parsed our first attempts at T6 and my accuracy was at 100% with the SMN acc cap from T5, but my pet's hit rate was at ~90% (very low).

I'm not sure if it still works this way, but remember that you can put on acc gear, summon your pet, and then change back to the acc cap YOU need. Your pet will still have the acc it had when you summoned it as long as it doesn't die during the fight (it shouldn't). Also remember that food does not affect pets, or at least it didn't before 2.2.

I'll probably wait to make my decision about which gear to buy after I see reliable numbers posted for acc cap (more than T6) and have a chance to glance at all allagan drops, where they're confirmed to drop from, and how the soldiery pieces compare.

Also, I read that if you use spur on garuda she will sync her stat again to the smn. So if you switched equipment and use spur then she is back at a low accuracy. I have not tested this.

Any buffs that affect gear related stats, so spur/fey light/fey glow/fey covenant, forces garuda to readjust her stats based on your current gear.

At 448 accuracy I've missed once out of thousands of hits in T6. So literally 99.99% hit rate there, probably missed a bee or something.
Garuda misses 2-5 times per attempt with at least 200+ casts per go, so like 98% hit rate in T6.

We're guessing 472ish for 7 and 8, dunno about 9 yet.

I've geared my SMN haphazardly so far, and my ACC is horrible. What should I focus on in the i90-100 range to get my accuracy to an acceptable level asap?

allagan pants and boots, levi book, garuda and titan accessories, mog necklace. AF2 glove and hat

Cooked up this list earlier, how does it look for up to T8? Also could I adjust my accessories a bit better?

i seriously dont know how everyone keeps coming up with obsurdly high accuracy numbers, at 456 acc (before food) my garuda had a 99% hit rate, nothing near the 470 acc people are saying.
with that accuracy i guess i should meantion i was at 100% hit rate.

at any rate, anything over that is just a lose in another stat for an extra 1% accuracy (not even 1 dps) from garuda

EDIT: these were in turn 6 that i tested

People have been testing in t8 and t9. 492 Seems to be the magic number.

If that's the case then the list I linked earlier seems perfect I'd guess

It looks like casters got the hardest drops this time around. Based on what I saw from the drops, the High Allagan breeches, gloves, and mask are either in t8 or t9. I am hoping that the breeches are at least in t7, there are still 2 unknown drops in t7 and t8 is almost full.

Do we know where some of the accessories are from? Also is there a google doc with the list already like the one we had for BCoB and CT?

This is the list I saw https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...sharing#gid=13 and it came from this thread http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ut-Loot-Tables

I prefer this one. It shows that the body is from T8 and the head is from T7. That still leaves us with three missing.

Thanks, booked marked it

Hi, currently I use almost full TOM gears (except TOS body and allagan earring).
I curious if I should bother getting CoB (First) to boost DET CRIT or just straight getting TOS gear which give SS but higher int.

PS. female TOS body is so cute on lalafel, I like it :)

Looking at it, I'd say go for your primary pieces first that are considered an upgrade, this will mean i100 Body, then ring, then belt, then necklace, then finally Book of Spades. This should give you enough accuracy you'll need for now until you get the SCoB pieces, but I'd only consider getting a Soldiery piece if RNG is killing you in SCoB and/or it drops from the later turns. Having the extra Vitality and Intelligence is more important then secondary stats

Oh and I wish the chest on the female Lalafell's Evenstar coat wasn't open, Lalafell have no cleavage nor should they even be trying to show off chest. It won't impress the male Lalas when all they have to do is look up to get the entire perverted view of all the other races, lol

this is true, check your HP and your pets HP as you change low level gear to high level gear. Your pet will automatically change parameter to be on par with its master
