Drexel,

Do you use INT or STR food?

Drexel,

Do you use INT or STR food?

INT is slightly better for me I suppose as you get 1 more INT than you do STR with STR food. I end up getting the same ATK bonus based on how the percent bonuses end up, I do get 3 or 4 more ACC with INT food over STR though. At 371 STR if I use STR food that would give me 377 STR, one over the predicted cap so if I do use STR food I would use a Zircon Bracelet over a Rubellite Bracelet. However in the end the differences are almost too small to care about. The INT food looks better on paper but its very difficult to achieve the full ATK and ACC bonuses while maintaining a proper stat distribution across all your gear slots.

I also have available to me currently, my entire Artifact set, Storm Sergeant's Hose and Ifrit's Claws as other gear. I am currently attempting to get Giantsgall Claws and Melding some Intelligence and Accuracy to them. Also I currently eat Lava Toad Legs as my chosen food (not reflected in stats listed). In regards to my hat, well it's my Black Mage hat and I can use it for Monk. Until I can make something of equal or better value, that is my hat.

Thank you for your time.
