    Has anyone tested to see what acc you need to never miss a hit?

    I use a single electrum ring +1, the moogle axe also helps. I think focusing specifically on ACC much more than that is a waste because you could use the slots for other more useful stats.

    Pretty certain it varies from monster to monster, OP. Garuda, for example, seems to have particularly high evasion. Stacking accuracy on her is a bit more important than elsewhere. I don't think focusing on ACC is ever a waste (until you're at 100% hit rate of course) considering misses don't build TP, don't generate threat, and don't let you combo. Plus, who wants to miss a long-recast weaponskill?

    There is the law of diminishing returns. There may be a point at which you are scrificing too much damage for ACC, at which point you may hit more, but do less damage over all. For WAR damage output is boss if you're tanking or not. Honestly, a little ACC seems to go a long way.

    Brannigan's spot-on here. For average-evasion targets like Coincounter, Miser's Mistress, Chimera, and Ifrit, you shouldn't need more than ~400 accuracy, if I remember correctly.

    For higher-evasion targets like Garuda and Myrmidon Princess, you will need more. I personally go with 427 unbuffed accuracy in my DPS set and I eat stuffed cabbage against Garuda.

    In tanking situations you cannot really afford to miss so having a pair of electrum rings +1, an explorer's choker (or preferably militia choker) on hand are critical. Carry around accuracy food (I use mugwort carp to keep price down) as well as your standard attack food. Always be ready to perform different roles on warrior in that way.

    Haven't done any real testing, but I remember being parsed against Ifrit with 422 accuracy resulting about ~99.5% hit rate. I'm comfortable with about 410-420 acc but I won't go lower personally.

    At 412 with food I've been parsing 100% accuracy. At 404, I was averaging 97% in varying situations, so the cap must be somewhere in that range.
