Frontline and i80 twinking gear sets

[Shake0615]

Where do you find info on how the iLevel Sync works and what makes the Circlet of Light better than, say, the High Allagan Circlet of Fending? I figured anything above the iLevel mark would just get synced the same as any other piece of gear.

You basically want to drop anything that gives accuracy/parry/piety for pvp. There are no accuracy requirements so everything will land 100%, using accuracy gear is gimping yourself. You want to go for all out DET/Crit/skill speed for dps/tank, maybe stack crit for sch or whm...personally i do crit for sch and all spell speed for whm.

And since Frontlines is i80, you have a lot of options for armor choices. For example, I got to dust off my Ultima ring because its one of the only rings with spell speed for my whm lol.

Unless il80 changed something, accuracy still counts but it's not too important. When I was leveling my pvp rank in wolves den I started in pve pld gear and never missed even when blinded. As I dropped my acc gear for dps stats though I started to notice misses while blinded.

So it's not a completely worthless stat, but it's pretty far down there. Wouldn't kill you if you had it on you if you had to choose between parry and acc.

False. Physical classes need 363 accuracy minimum or they will miss in PvP. Casters, however, need no additional accuracy.

All classes updated.

Are you certain? I've had 451 acc on my BLM and have missed every now and again with Fire and Flare.

You must have been blinded by a SCH or SMN.

Turns out I was trying to hit healers who had the evasion buff up. /cry

Ilevel sync was explained in the patch notes as adjusting the stats of items to those of the chosen ilevel, and doing nothing else.*

First off I just realized I made a mistake listing the Crown of Light, the First post has been corrected.

The stats of the High Allagan Helm of Fending are Def 116/MDef 116/Str +24/Vit +28/Acc +25/SkS +18. When ilevel synced the stats become Def 111/MDef 111/Str +15/Vit +17/Acc +19/SkS +13. A Crown of Light has Def 111/MDef 111/Str +15/Vit +17/Parry +19/Det +9. An ilevel synced Nocted Circlet and Weathered Noct Circlet sync town to Def 111/MDef 111/Str +15/Vit +17/Crit +13/Det +13.


*The i80 PvP and Frontlines also have an additional effect that negates Morale and Materia to make things more even.
