Ive been doing some research for my end game gear. I'm lvl 50 now and I have all my AF and what not, a Sibold's Reach. My primary stats are:

STR - 259
VIT - 290

It's my understand that STR caps at 350 and around 300 for VIT.

That being said, I'm wondering what my best gear progression would be. Naturally, I need the Ifrit Axe. While I'm waiting for that, what else should I be focusing on? x2 or x3 Meld gear? If thats the case where should I start. I'm completely overwhelmed with all the options and I'm not even certain on the caps due to how old all information is for this game.

I've seen end game gear people with like triple meld gloves with +50 some odd STR etc. I would just like some help with gear direction.

At the moment I figure I would buy a +1 Electrum Ring for the (18) Accuracy. Should I get a +18 STR ring? or more accuracy? Should I wait for trip meld stuff to go on the AH for my boots/gloves/belt or just settle with double meld? halp. thanks guys!
