Accuracy on gear - is it important?

[Friske]

The tooltip for accuracy is:

'Affects the accuracy of both physical and magic attacks. The higher the rating, the better chance your attack will have of landing.'

I'm a BLM and for me, from lvl1 to 50 my spells have probably been resisted about 5 times. At endgame, I never see my spells get resisted/miss etc. Is there a point to accuracy? Or should I just trade accuracy off for determination/other better secondary stats.
I've never been to coil before, so is accuracy considered important there? Do your spells/attacks miss on those monsters?
I'd love to read everybody's opinions about this.

Yes u want accuracy for coils, enough for 100% accuracy. Missing is a huge drop in dps or it could ruin ur transition through ice and fire.

You need 437 for coil turn 5 for a 100% rate. Anything more is waste, at least for the current content in game.

Pre 50? No acc needed, it's always capped. Post-50 yes acc is important but not major stat, Coil yes must reach 437 otherwise you will miss/resisted.

as you lvl you may notice you will miss quite alot vs mobs 4 lvl and higher than you. Its mostly for coils. if you go full darklight you will be over the cap so it does allow for some transitioning thru gear as you get more ilvl 90 pieces or decide to use crafted endgame gear till you can get a replacement. remember you can also use food for acc also, so even if you are below the cap you just make sure you are well fed and its all good.

Is the accuracy cap different for Mage/Melee? Because everywhere I've seen has said 470~.
