    Sylvan Caban +2 Testing

    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.

    lvl 80 pachypodium (abyssea - tah)
    distance: 2.8
    caban:

    average: 350.5

    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.

    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.
