I'm leaning towards the greaves myself...

Greaves

Thought so, thanks.

[Zzsark]

Of course there's always Dilaram's Sollerets. Hard to obtain than buying off the AH though.

Posted in RQT but looking for a ranking of top 5 neckpieces for Rampage for BST. Mainly I'm wondering is it worth making a Soil Gorget or should I go straight for BST AF neck.

[Alkimi]

I'd say Rancor Collar probably beats anything atm. As long as tonberry hate is capped.

Aquiline Belt (MAB +3, Magic Accuracy +3) vs. Sveltesse Gouriz (AGI +7) for wildfire for cor outside abyssea?

[BrayenMidgard]

for Ukon's, Cdc, and Victory Smite (drakesbane and rampage as well i suppose....):

4atk/25tp bonus earring vs anything else?

not many strong earrings so i was wondering if the 25% translates into enough crit rate to make it worth using
Since I haven't come across any testing on tp between 100/200/300 i am unsure how much roughly this would add in terms of crit.
basically looking for some actual value to put behind the 25tp bonus

Proteschar figured that CDC base crit at 100/200/300 is 15/25/40% respectively
so 25 TP bonus from 100 base would be 2.5% crit

Aquiline Belt (MAB +3, Magic Accuracy +3) vs. Sveltesse Gouriz (AGI +7) for wildfire for cor outside abyssea?

Sveltesse for Wildfire. The higher the mob's Int vs your Agi, the bigger the gap between the two, with Sveltesse always being superior.

Augmented Seiryu's Kote vs Augmented Heca Hands +1 for BRD Evis (or something else)? Looking for best options in and out of Abyssea.

[OdinBlaize]

All things being equal, Rogue's Armlets +1 or Raider's Armlets +2 for TA+Evisceration?

[dasva]

raiders

[noodles355]

All things being equal, Rogue's Armlets +1 or Raider's Armlets +2 for TA+Evisceration?

Concidering for damage: separate TA and separate Evis > TA Evis, and for hate: If it's something so serious you'd actually need to TA Evis for hate, it's probably the sort of mob you'd be wanting to Mandallic Stab, I don't see a need to TA Evisceration, so it doesn't matter.

[Glacont]

How useful is the Etoile Cape these days?

Def 5 DDex +5 CHR +5 Accuracy +5 Evasion +5

DoT?
WS only?
A part of an EVA/ACC set?

[Byrthnoth]

Waltz set, and I use it as part of my Step Acc set. It's also a decent Acc TPing piece, but I don't find I have much use for that these days.

[noodles355]

Wouldn't Sharpeye Mantle blow it out the water as a Acc-based TP back?

[Byrthnoth]

Sure, but they you have to carry Sharpeye mantle (and you get -Subtle Blow). I don't really use a set like that, so I don't generally care about carrying another piece for it.

Drakesbane: Plackart+2 or Ares's?

I've been using Ares's as I figure Acc is a non-issue for things I'd use DRG on, and 10Att > 2Str surely? Other gear is: Twilight head, rancor, att+7 ear, brutal, af3+2 hands, pyrosoul, rajas, atheling, anguinus, af3+2 legs, af3+2 feet.

Also, NQ unaugmented Heca (waiting till I get 2nd abj to HQ before trying for augments) vs AF3+2 feet? Assuming Augmented heca+1 feet are best.

[Foldypaws]

Outside abyssea, *definitely* Plackart+2. You want something like 140 Dex to cap. Ditto on the feet, for the same reason.

Inside, other way around, as you don't need the dex.
