Is there anything I can swap to improve?

Interesting, as an Elezen my base stats + Ifrit claws are
STR: 245
INT: 247
ATT: 520
ACC: 349

I knew there was a difference between races. Im curious as to what the rest of your stats are.

Rest of my stats are on the post right above the one you quoted.

Just made my triple melded gloves. So this is my setup now.

Uldahn Officer Cap + Sanction (int 40)
Flame Lt Jama
Flame Sgt Tabard
Felt Bracers (str 49)
Flame Sgt Sash
Felt Trousers (str 16)
Uldahn Officer Boots
Explorer Earrings
Electrum Gorget
Flame Sgt Bracelet
Rubellite Ring +1
Rubellite Ring +1

If I can ever get triple IV on the felt trousers and/or I get the DL Corselet, I could give up one of the rings for acc

Stats: Str +22 Int +23

352 Str
303 Int
395 Acc
550 Att Pwr (681 with fist of fire)
+80 Crit Pwr (tabard and boots)


Stats with only fists
241 str
256 int
349 acc
520 att pwr


Question... when I have sanction and am using the officer cap, should I give up the boots for AF boots or change to some melded belt?

Wow...poor Lalafel (OP). Guess you will need that extra Rubelite Ring.
I have a spare, it's right between these two slices of bread.....

I'm used to it; playing a taru in ffxi got me used to having abysmal melee stats (cept dat MP pool on PLD, mmmmmm)

I read through these threads and have to ask.
Why drop the flame serg ring for a rubellite +1?
As this person is wearing 3 Flame items they get the bonus which is a grand total of 20 attack. STR +18 from the rubellite would only give 9 attack bonus. Is there something I am missing that would require dropping 20 attack for 18 str?

STR is one of Monks Primary bonus stats, it gives a hidden boost to overall damage up to a specific point based on the DPS of your weapon. Most people tend to agree 40 DPS roughly requires around 350 STR and 310 INT for maximum benefits, but being the Saraphi has 42.06 DPS it's stat caps are higher and pretty difficult to hit in most cases.

However, seeing as SE is adjusting battle mechanics in ARR, we can only speculate on what they plan on changing and just how effective current stats will be in ARR. So there isn't a huge rush outside of personal satisfaction to actually try to reach relic stat caps at this point.
