Current BIS for Bard

[Ooshima]

My current set up with Elfin bow for respective BC soft cap

472 cap for T1-T4
Elfin's Bow
Bard's Chapeau
Bard's Shirt
Bard's Ringbands
Hero's Belt of Aiming
Bard's Tights
Ballad Boots

Ultima's Choker of Aiming
Tremor Earring of Aiming
Allagan Bracelet of Aiming
Gryphsonskin Ring
Vortex Ring of Aiming

Food: Stuffed Cabbage HQ (+21), total accuracy = 473, average item level = i87

For T5, I'll just swap out the Allagan Bracelet of Aiming for a Pentamelded (+8 Vit, +12 Crit, +8 Det) HQ Gryphonskin Bracelet for the +12 accuracy.



EDIT: If you guys haven't cleared Titan EM (I know a lot have not), then here's a similar alternate with the same 473 accuracy. Changes made in bold:

Elfin's Bow
Allagan Visor of Aiming
Bard's Shirt
Bard's Ringbands
Hero's Belt of Aiming
Bard's Tights
Ballad Boots

Ultima's Choker of Aiming
Hero's Earrings of Aiming
Allagan Bracelet of Aiming
Gryphsonskin Ring
Vortex Ring of Aiming

What's the difference? Swapping out 8 determination for 10 critical hit.


On a side note, if you decide to go for the latter set (Allagan Visor and Hero's Earrings), you can discard Gryphsonskin Ring for Ultima's Ring of Aiming, that will land you exactly at 472.

how exactly do they have the elfin bow without clearing titan extreme?

how exactly do they have the elfin bow without clearing titan extreme?

crap, screw my logic I meant have yet to get the Tremor Earrings of Aiming

In any case, I've realized that the latter is better and did another revision to it:

Elfin's Bow
Allagan Visor of Aiming
Bard's Shirt
Bard's Ringbands
Hero's Belt of Aiming
Bard's Tights
Ballad Boots

Ultima's Choker of Aiming
Hero's Earrings of Aiming
Inferno Bracelet of Aiming (technically you can use Allagan's too if you get the drop, both doesn't give accuracy, not Inferno is BiS)
Ultima's Ring of Aiming
Vortex Ring of Aiming

With Stuffed Cabbage HQ, this nets you exactly 472 accuracy

Avg item level 87.5, system might round it up to reflect i88

To me this would be the best set available pre-T5.

Gives me
