MNK gearing advice - currently il86

[KaosPrimeZero]

Hi All here is my current gear

Weapon: Saharan Zenith
Head: Melee Circlet
Body: Melee Cycles
Hands: Fuma Tekko
Waist: Fuma Obi
Legs: Melee Gaskins / Allegan Trousers of Striking (if I don't need the accuracy Turn 1-3)
Feet: Allegan Sollerets of Striking

Neck: Allegan Choker of Striking / Ultima Choker of Striking
Ear: Darklight Earrings of Striking
Bracelet: Allegan bracelets of Striking
Ring: Allegan Ring of Striking
Ring: Ultima Band of Striking


At present I am unsure as to what I should be upgrading next and in what order from this point on. We are still unable to beat Twintania so turn 5 gear is still not available to me. Turn 1-4 however is.

If someone could list a preferred list of upgrade, I would greatly appreciate this.

Many thanks in advance!
Chaosprime!

Would it be better to go:

Melee Gloves > Hero neck > Hero Bracers

Or

Hero Neck > Bracers > Melee Gloves

As you can see I'm only including myth as allagan is purely luck based and we are trying to beat turn 5. I guess you could add primal ex. Accessories into the mix as we have beaten Garuda.

Thanks!

Try this aiming for this: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/2327515/. With this you can eat buttons in a blanket on turn 5, and are cheaper to craft. Hope this helps.

I'd suggest Gloves first because it'll increase vitality and give the biggest strength increase, but the order doesn't really matter on Neck or Wrist because both give the same amount of accuracy.

On other notes:

Unless theorycrafting eventually proves differently, I'd suggest just sticking with the Melee Gaskins for legs, as current theories indicate that Determination is the greatest return of MNK's secondary stats. Thus, the Melee Gaskins are probably a BiS for MNK due to generous helpings of both Accuracy and Determination.

If I'm sticking to the Melee Gaskins, then the Melee hands become almost useless other than the VIT compared to the Allagan counterpart. In fact My ACC now with that set above using melee legs is 505. Hero belt will add acc and so will the accessories so I guess other items are better suited? Seeing as I don't really need ACC at all right now the Allagan ones I do have are suited well? When we eventually beat Turn 5 I will full time the allagan body and thus lose the ACC from the Melee body meaning the Melee gaskins will replace that ACC but ill still be way over the limit.

I feel upgrading to the hands for an extra 2-3 vit just isn't worth the mytho? not sure.

Been pondering n this for a while and still no closer to a answer. The set above is purely crit based however ive heard In a few places now that with the enhancement to GL det is more important to mnk than crit now, so creating a purely crit based setup seems not right?

Still at a loss :/

You have sufficient gear to do any content in the game now. I would just focus on progressing towards your best in slot set at this point. Depending on desired accuracy, you'll want myth helm/pants (473 acc set) or myth pants/bracers (469 acc set).

Just remember that the Allagan Weapon(iLvl 95, indisputable BiS) has NO Accuracy on it! If you're looking to down Turn 5 soon, you'll want to account for that.

Well in light of this I have worked out that this for me at least seems a solid build and that based on my current gear the hero's belt is the next best upgrade. Allegan hands is a better piece than mythos so would be a waste to get them I think.

Here is the link to the set-up I created: http://xivdb.com/?wardrobe/6982/MNK-CP-BiS

This will put me past the ACC cap for Turn 5/Extreme Primals.

What you all think? Seem good to you all?

[Wingszerodrive]

also do take in count the EX primals acc if you got access to it if your acc cap then Tremor earrings are good and for bracers i am not sure where they drop but maiming bracers are a good pair ifrit if you need the accuracy

ohh yea and hellish claws once u beat them all that well until u get T5 weapon
