    SAM and meat pre-60

    I parse better with Sushi rather than meat. My gear setup is: Soboro, Brass grip+1, Emp hairpin, PCC, Beetle+1 x2, Jujitsu Gi, O.Kote, Sniper's x2, Nomads mantle, Life belt, "those store TP" Haidate and bounding boots. when i fight ITs, they check "Low evasion"... so i eat kabobs. The results are lame, i miss a lot of attacks (even though i have +34 accuracy, lvl4 Gkt merit, Hasso and +8 Dex helping) which does not make any sence, since the mob is IT- or IT.
    I'm expecting to hit every time (or close) with Soboro and eat meat to make up for it's lower damage on weapon.

    Is there anything i'm doing wrong or should i wait untill 55-56 for when i get to ToAU camps?

    What's your parsed accuracy?

    I have (and had at your level) as much acc as you, and had the same issue. Parses were usually ~75% acc without food or with meat. You will parse better with sushi, but learn to use Seigan or you'll end up dead. Either learn to deal with the acc and eat meat or pop the sushi and deal with the lower per-hit damage of Soboro. Either way, you're still going to be the majority of the damage in your pt for a long, long time so really, what's the difference?

    My SAM is currently at 51 and I've had the same problem. With meat, I miss too much and with sushi, I end up tanking if i'm not partying with a good tank. If you end up tanking and you don't become a MP sink for your healer and slow down your party, just eat sushi and do your job of dealing DMG.

    Why are you wearing STP Haidate at a level that Rajas alone gives you a 7-hit setup?

    Did you mention Sniper's Ring in the off part of Rajas? Lv.51 is the beginning of SE's decline in good experience camps for the Zilart times. Crabs take forever to kill because of Defense, Beetles have higher evasion and evasion bonus moves, which someone will always fail to dispel, everyone is a retard and trying to overcamp in ToAU.

    Get a sniper's if you don't have, get Royal Knights pants, take your party (RNG's and THF's are good here), eat meat, and try KRT until about 54/55, then go to ToAU. I ate meat the whole time and never had those issues on SAM, and I only put 2 into GKT. Just understand where you are in the game etc. I had more accuracy issues on RNG through Lesser/Colibri than I did on SAM.

    If you have Sattva or Tamas (which is likely considering the OP has BLM, PLD, and NIN leveled) it's the only way to get a 7-hit.

    which does not make any sence, since the mob is IT- or IT.
    If you even have to worry about seeing a plain IT mob while exping, thats your problem. Most people are too quick to change camps, and end up overcamping. Basic concept but still gets messed up a lot inadvertently.

    It's the only way with gear to do it. I'd much prefer to gear for it and then decide on the fly what food I'll need to eat.

    CN was a lot more uplifting. With a RDM and 2 DNC i had: haste, haste samba, hasso and a soboro while eating meat and subbing DRG (for giggles) it was the 1st time after 50 i had been pleased with my damage. Unfortunatly did'nt parse it but i was hitting between 40-50 and Jinpu was hitting for 200-300 while TP was comming out my ass. Obviously Hasso was'nt used much.
