    SCH materia melds question

    im sitting at 450acc/550crit/298det. Im thinking of remelding my accessories and adding more accuracy.

    I can add 32 more acc at the cost of 16crit and 11 det
    giving me totals of 482acc/534crit/287det

    If I in fact re do the melds I would be accuracy capped for t10-11 without food. last weeks parses showed me only hitting on ~72% of offensive spells. So im trying to get as much acc as possible without gimping my heals too much

    Thats my lodestone link for anyone that wants to look at my gearset before providing any feedback.

    Thx

    You should try to compensate accuracy with food as much as possible before thinking of hitting the acc caps without food. It's worse for you to sacrifice MND in favour of accuracy, if that only means you can get a few CRT/DET more out of your food. Besides, accuracy food nicely has CRT on it already.

    So basically what I am saying is that keep your left/right side i110 items (or higher if you have any) for T10+T11, whilst capping the accuracy on those three crafted items you have already (good choices due to their native CRT).

    You'll lose 0 MND in doing so if you have the old pre-2.4 i110 BiS in mind. You need 0 i90 items, just those three left side i110s fully accuracy melded on top of using accuracy food. For T12+13, you can use some i90 accessories for more accuracy and also gauge some VIT in there. I use 2x fully accuracy + VIT -melded Emerald accessories on top of those i110 left sides.

    Of course, when we start having enough tomes to get our i120/i130 BiS, we will start losing MND as to hit the acc caps, we will need to downgrade to i110 with melds. This is the first week where I will be losing MND if I want to accuracy cap while getting my BiS items. (Bought the boots first, then the bracelet, then the ring and this week I will have enough tomes for either the BiS headpiece or the belt). However, in my opinion that will still be worth it. If you have a full-on accuracy relic, you can use lesser i110 melded pieces while still having the accuracy even when using those i120/130 pieces. Which, of course would be good.

    TL;DR: cap your three left-side items' accuracies and use your i110 max MND gear otherwise (and i120+ where you can). You'll be 460 base accuracy which will be capped for T10+11 with food. For T12+13, add two accessories with ACC+VIT melds so you'll not only gauge VIT which is needed for now, but also get the accuracy benefits.

    Edit, I logged out with my T10+11 gear, so if you wanna use it as a reference point, my lodestone. Acc is capped on all three left sides. PIE is also capped on the headpiece+gloves. Belt is 1-2 off the PIE cap. All the items have complimentary DET.
