Current BIS for Bard

[BrandoH]

The Hero's Bracelet is really good, and for the Artemis Bow Zenith BIS list it's a necessary piece. After eating HQ Devilled Eggs, that'll put you at 473 accuracy (assuming you didn't meld 3 acc into your Gryphonskin Choker). That'll give you 99.99% Accuracy on everything but Asclepius in T5. For that fight, put on a Gryphonskin Ring over the Vortex Ring.

I agree that aiming for 482 acc is unnecessary, with 472 I missed something like once per run on Asclepius and anyway during that phase my main role is to serve the mages their Foe Requiem so I really wouldn't bother raising acc... Best option imho is BrandoH's set but with Bard's head instead of Allagan, which would result in 476 acc, 561 crit and 244 det with HQ eggs

If I buy the Hero Bracelet, I'll have 473 ACC with HQ Deviled Eggs without reverting the Vortex ring back to Gryphonskin Ring.

But once the Allagan Choker drops, I'll be having another ACC problem. LOL!

I think without Allagan items, this is best in slot

Artemis Bow Zenith
Bard's Chapeau
Bard's Shirt
Bard's Ringbands
Hero's Belt of Aiming
Bard's Tights
Ultima Choker of Aiming
Hero's Earrings of Aiming
Hero's Bracelet of Aiming
Ultima Band of Aiming
Vortex Ring of Aiming

Humhum~

I guess I'll just buy the Bracelet instead of going for the Zenith, as I'm not really fond of the additional stats. from upgrading to Zenith, might as well just spend a week of my myth, instead of 2 weeks.

If you go that long without any Allagan loots, you're having a really awful time. But use Hero's Ring of Aiming > Ultima Band, and eat HQ Eggs during Twintania. You also didn't list feet, but the Myth should be worn there too. After the food buff, it'll put you at 478 Acc, 563 Crit, and 235 Det. Plenty enough to cap on everything but Asclepius, and only 4 points short of the the cap on him, so the hit rate should still be really high.

I'd honestly rather have 99.99% on Asclepius than 6 more points of crit, given that it's less than half of 1% increase iirc (Also, 495 Myth saved if you didn't spend it yet). But the difference between the two is negligible currently. I think I'd like to have the 482 for when 2.2 comes out as well.

I have a question maybe someone can answer. Since I am so low on acc at this point and can not get a boot drop to save my life I am wondering if the crafted boots would give me more acc than non crafted alternatives?

No, Darklight Calligae of Aiming and melded HQ Gryphonskin Moccasins have the same accuracy cap from everything I have seen (16). What is your ACC? With the DL set and NQ relic, you should be doing pretty well.

My acc with all my i90 and elfin bow is 429. I have to sub in dl for 2 i90's + food to reach cap. I will be at 411 iirc with all my allegen.
