    Lynx Mantle craft level

    I've been trying to make a Lynx Mantle +1 for a Barrage setup. All of the crafting sites list this as an 85 leathercraft synth. I am currently 0/30 on the HQ at 101 skill (Haven't bothered with support or my crafting items). Checking FFXIAH, there is another crafter who should have t1 on this complaining about an 0/20. Has anyone had better luck than I have on this synth?

    replacing amemet+1 with that shit isnt the brightest idea tbh

    find elsewhere to put more r.acc. And if you are really desperate for more r.acc get jaeger mantle.

    I'd rather waste my tier 0 (If that's what it is) on a mantle that isn't all that great than invest millions in a "wortwhile" synth like Dusk Gloves, a market which has been crashed by the economically-illiterate to the point that I'd have to find a taker at more than 23 million just to break even on Caitsith.

    What does your barrage setup look like anyway.. I'm sure you could easily swap in Racc in other areas without such a huge sacrifice.

    o.hat, pcc, str+2 earring, vision earring, af1 body, seiryu's kote (af+1 hands if mob doesnt have high eva), double behemoth rings+1, amemet+1, scouts belt, af2 legs, scouts socks. Thats about r.acc +80.
    However in merits it has less r.acc and more str/r.attk in some spots.

    Honestly... Jaeger Mantle isn't as big of a sacrifice as many people would have you believe.

    Weapons are pretty much 1:1 r.acc:r.atk

    For example:

    Trailer's Kukri: 14 r.acc
    Hawker's Knife+1: 3 agi, 12 r.acc

    vs.

    Francisca: 7 r.acc, 7 r.atk
    Kriegsbeil: 5 agi, 4 r.acc, 8 r.atk

    vs.

    Vulkan's Staff + Axe Grip: 10 r.atk, 8 str

    More less you are getting a number of 14.


    Head is probably the best place to switch out for accuracy.

    Many people like to use Hunter's Beret+1 which will give you 4 agi and 5 atk or Wyvern Helm+1 which will give you 6 str.

    O.Hat or War Beret+1 are more efficent in that they give you 10 or 9 r.acc respectively.



    My order of substitution is:

    1) Ring (if using Rajas)
    2) Head
    3) Weapon
    4) Jaeger Mantle
    5) Hands

    For barrage you can't really substitute out your weapon... And I would think that fighting high eva mobs you would be using behemoth+1 already... which means that isn't a viable substitution either. Pretty much leaves head and Jaeger mantle.

    You are giving up 26 r.atk, and gaining 20 r.acc...

    This is actually a better subsitution than going from Finger Gauntlets to Kote.
