The formula for calculating critical hit % is:

Maximum crit value (or, what I worked it out to be) is roughly 645.
341 native at L50, 304 from Daystar, Hero and Allag + Food. (Some pieces are lower ilvl but have materia slots. Mastr ACN ring.)

645*0.0697 - 18.437= 26.5%
You also don't sacrifice much MND with these crit intensive builds!

Enjoy critin', friend!
Actual numbers:

341(base) + 247(crit gear) = 587 + food(27 from Apkallu HQ) = 614
614*0.0697 - 18.437= 24.4%
