i100/110 BLM Gear, What's the deal?

[Goldhawk]

this game is not designed for a full set to be the best functional.

That's just stupid though.

That's just stupid though.

Most MMOs work this way. You itemize your stats around pieces of similar power level with different stats on them.

I found the accuracy/critical hit/spell speed pretty well balanced with this set, determination is a bit low, but not really that badly. And gives you enough accuracy for anything T9 or under.

This is why Vanity slot/Glamour system kick in

Hi, the weathered evenstar earrings and ring of casting both have accuracy, compared to the hero's earrings and ring who don't.

[NyneAlexander]

What IS the accuracy cap? I'm sitting at 458 right now and dont see any gear that will actually improve my aim.

For T9 its about 487. (I've just heard this via word of mouth and haven't had a chance to confirm this as my group just downed T8 last night. finally. stupid towers.)

Here's my lodestone, with my blm raid gear currently equiped I'm sitting at 465 acc unbuffed. With HQ Apkallu Omlettes, It goes up to about 476. If I get the i100 weathered weapon (turn 7 drop plus some soldiery tomes) thats another 40 acc, putting me WELL over the cap for T9.

Now granted, I got lucky with some drops in coil, namely my ring and my wrists, but all of my other gear is easily farmable.

I wonder if some of you guys do not even check some of the threads out there that have alot of the data you are looking for.

Best in slot with High Allagan Weapon

Anything that gives you Crit and Spell Speed over determination is better. The only pieces that you are forced to have Determination is the chest piece and the earrings (BiS earrings are T9)

Alternatively, BiS with Saurian Belt

There's been discussion that Saurian Belt of Casting HQ is better than any i110. Technically, the lost of 5 intellect for the gain of so much secondary stats make it better by 1 to 3 DPS depending on your food (Ponzecake or Sachetorte)
1 to 3 DPS gain for investing about 2-3 mils on one belt. I personnally don't think it's worth.

Hit cap is 470 for T9. Your BiS will always be a mix of Sold/High Allagan so yeah, you want to upgrade those 100 armors because stats increase = DPS increase.

fair enough. i take responsibility for not doing adequate research before posting. 470 is the move

Its all good for ya, atleast now you know you can actually drop some acc gear for more spell speed or crit, because you want food up at all times you can even dive lower and make up for it with food. i do intend to get the allagan earrings till our group can down turn 9 and drop the excess acc i do currently have.
