    In endgame situations where you're eating sushi for the sake of accuracy, sometimes you'll find your accuracy still isn't up there and therefore it's only -really- safe to use it when Feint is up.

    Basically, it's a sushi (when it is acc capping)/feint only body piece in most situations.
    I've tested meat vs. sushi as THF/WAR at Nyzul birds a few times, and I parsed better with sushi every time. Basically, I'd keep most of my gear the same for both foods, but when I used sushi I would use Rapparee and Merman's Earring, and when I used meat I'd use P.body and Hollow Earring. It was always BRD+BRD or BRD+COR. So I'd have to say Rapparee Harness is great for meritting, which is SERIOUS BUSINESS. I only have level 3 dagger merits though, maybe a real THF would perform better with meat and Homam body or something.

    Either way, TAing all of your weaponskills and using Hide to never get your food eaten is happy times ^____________^

    PLD is 45, Idk what I should gear it like. Luisant gear is good, but the price is def not worth it. IR Shit seems pretty decent if I have it all, but idk. Lower lvlsing sucks since gear changed every couple of lvls, I don't really wanna spend like 800k on something I'm ganna sell back in a few days <_>, but Idk what there is for PLD around my lvls or what to expect.

    Gothic hands/feet, I.R. pieces, Luisant if you have the gil and just want it (nice if you're leveling Sam or Nin or War or whatnot around the same time).

    Gothic Hands/Feet would be pretty nice for PLD at 45, can really keep the hands for quite a while. Valkyrie's Mask for head. IR is fine for body/legs, there are decent CP options at 50, and more AN stuff at 55 if you want.

    Don't spend tons on HQ gear at that level. It can be hard to get rid of (I listed a Kite Shield +1 like 6-7 times before it sold, for example).

    Yeah, it's just for one level... but:

    At Lv74 WAR:

    Warrior's Cuisses?

    or

    Exorcist Hose?

    >.>;

    or

    something else completely?

    May as well go with the Cuisses I'd say, +1 inventory, +100k (or whatever the Exorcist Hose go for on your server). If you're dinging into Haidate or whatever, then no sense buying more stuff for a few hours (at most) of XP.

    Or you could just spam Crab Sushi when it gets eaten.

    THF/NIN is comfortably better than THF/WAR at merits anyway. A good way of looking at it on THF is that /NIN has the greater potential but /WAR gives you more of a boost. If you don't need the boost, /NIN will yield you greater damage.

    I've parsed sushi vs meat many times and oddly enough I found meat even came ahead when my accuracy was at ~80% (60s~) and at 93%~ roughly on birdies it's not even close (using Corazza).

    Lol, I went from like 43-49 without ever being 45. Level synch is pretty cool, but I'm ganna have a lot of skilling up to do <_> Kinda glad I didn't spend a dickload on Lusaint gear lol

    Gonna have a bit of skilling to do either way. I had like 235 shield skill when I hit 75 because my static tended to kill pretty quickly...but yeah, sync is only going to make that worse.

    I did a parse once before I got almost all of my gear. 1 hour of sushi, then 1 hour of meat at nyzul mamool in the same party. 60% acc with meat parsed equally(bison steak)(to within 1%) to what I got with sole sushi. i started using sushi for a bit after that until my gear was better because the slower tp gain was irritating.
    And screw thf/war in merits. it's just a way to get mauled on from whenever I tried it and that was with me spamming TA+WS.

    Destroyers > Shavers

    When acc uncapped:
    Brutal/Hollow > active minuet earring > Diabolos' Earring > Attack Earrings

    When acc capped: Brutal/Fenrir's Earring at daytime, Merman's at night > Ethereal when cheap/lazy

    Swap out brutal for another acc/attack earring for Asuran

    RNG feet for TP and WS? I have 8/8 archery and just picked up skadi feet. So, Scout's Socks, or Skadi feet?

    So, got it today and have questions on its use:
    Warrior's Stone.
    Besides KJ, is it doable to do anything else in it? I don't do axes, and admittedly, I'm at a loss for what to do, since the DEX on Warwolf is nice, but admittedly, I'd almost prefer the ACC in a non-pizza situation.

    Really depends on how much DEX you have already in your WS set. You're gaining 3.25 acc with the Stone vs Warwolf, but depending on what you're fighting and how much DEX you've already got, the Warwolf is giving you anywhere between like, 1% and 5% on your crit rate. I'd say definitely Warwolf for SC, War Stone for KJ, and it's situational for RR. Warwolf will win in high DEX or Acc situations, whereas Stone will win when both stats are lower.

    Ouch.
    Make a time machine and go back and warn yourself...wait, that would make a paradox, wouldn't it? Warn me! But if I tell you, it'll make a paradox. So go back in time with your time machine, tell me, and then instruct me not to warn you.

    Oh wait. You did that. My bad for following instructions :'(
