Sylvan Caban +2 Testing

[Helel]

From my own personal testing experience, it seems blatantly obvious that sylvan caban +2 increases ranged attack (or damage in some way), yet nobody seems to believe me. I wrote these numbers down in notepad so forgive the spacing. I took pictures as well if anyone needs further verification.

For gear I simply swapped caban and dux +1 body back and forth, but for the dux swap I also equipped thaumas gloves for the remaining two STR (in both sets thaumas kecks were equipped). Thus, both sets had exactly the same STR and ranged attack.

For this test, I wasn't so much interested in what the boost was. I'm just tired of trying to convince people that caban does boost damage/ranged attack. I did however, compare tessera vs caban for last stand, and caban won, so the boost is enough to offset 17(.5) ranged attack and 1 STR.

Do I need to shoot more things, or can we settle this? I have more data but vs different mobs.

Thought it was already long proven just not quantified

[Helel]

I thought so as well, but according to a recent topic on FFXIAH, there are many who still don't believe it.

BG wiki still only lists a boost to snapshot. It'd be nice if someone could update it so I don't have to keep referencing these tests.

thanks to /checkparam

velo on with caban +2 :
r.acc: 944 r.atk: 1124

velo on with kyujutsugi:
r.acc: 957 r.atk: 1113

caban still wins, with capped r.acc
also, caban does not need to be equipped when using JA.

Actually it seems to give R.ATT +5%, my friend and I got different increases. Someone should test exact value, but it's not a static increase.

Equipment:
Yoich, Adiluvin Arrows
STR+12 is worn at all times, either via Sylvan Caban+2 or Temachiani Pants, depending if velocity Shots part of the check

Base 805
berserk 1006
Velo+Zerk, no caban 1125
Velo+Zerk, with Caban 1163
Velo, with Caban 962
Velo, no Caban 924

Caban seems to give +38 attack, after Berserk's attack bonus.


Bedlam+2 (LOLOL) and Animakii Bullet
Base 517
berserk 646
Velo+Zerk, no caban 722
Velo+Zerk, with Caban 747
Velo, with Caban 617
Velo, no Caban 593

Here it gives 24 or 25 attack, so its not flooring something, but its also not static.


Velocity Shot's base effect on Ranged Attack seems to be a bit under 15% (14.8)
And Caban seems to increase this effect to 19.4%.
Its also calculated seperate from berserk, unsure if gear affects it


Fully geared. - pants and Caban to account for STR+12

Base 913
berserk 1141
Velo+Zerk, no caban 1276
Velo+Zerk, with Caban 1319
Velo, with Caban 1091
Velo, no Caban 1048


It seems to account for ratk from gear. Food and Minuets untested.
