am i an idiot for using scorpion arrows still at 57? and are demon arrows a reasonable upgrade? (someone said theyre no good for xp but they didnt say what the detriment was, and im assuming it was just cost)

Demons are better, they are just a cheap ass.

because of someone else using acid bolt? but i'm not sure about whether the attack down effect from demon arrow will overwrite acid bolt's effect or not. Since now not much ppl doing rng burn anymore, and I'm the cheap ass who use crossbow for most of the time during lvling my rng :D

It doesn't as far as I can tell, anyways demons are better, nuff said, Kaburas on the other hand can be used as a WS ammo, don't gimp urself by using scorps -_- anyways demons are pretty cheap too <<;. IMO xbow > Bow on none piercing weak mobs due to acid bolts/holy bolt/darksteel bolt switching

ya i always carry both, and use all those 3 ammos for xbow, demons are lvl 60 tho, just wondering if anyone uses those damned non stacking elemental arrows i guess

xbow eh? maybe i will grab an armbrust, was just gonna stick with arbalest+1 to skill marksmanship til 67 since im lovin my e-bow

Other than NIN, what other RNG subs are important, and to what ends? IE. SAM is important but only in these situations, WAR is important but only in these other situations, etc.

[Zarath]

/war for HNM and /nin for XP for as long as I've known but idk I'll let more RNGish ppl answer that lol

[Tricen]

Why are a lot of SAMs starting to use Byrnie+1? I was under the impression that was really when you get amano, since the 20ACC. I mean I know you can still use byrnie+1 on a nonamano sam, but wouldn't Huaby+1 be better?

[Zarath]

Well in the end, we all can agree it depends on your overall acc, why armano and byrnie+1 works. If your acc is shit then a hauby+1 will do you more good, otherwise it's just an idiot band wagoning on armor he believe is better cause he saw a Relic SAM wear it.

The lvl 45 Iron Ram gear set. Anyone know the amount of accuracy and attack provided by the set bonus? I couldnt find anything on it.

I keep hearing and reading both, in my defense of this question:
Is wearing blue magic skill preferable to accuracy gear on physical spells? (i.e. SH vs Jubbah)

Plenty of other places to put accuracy if you need it. Jubbah for all relevant spells. If your headbutt is resisting too much, can try using SH instead, since the damage on that doesn't matter if you are using it for stun.

[Akucaen]

I'm not having accuracy issues either way, to be honest. I'd put the Jubbah on not for the skill, but to squeeze the DEX+STR out of it for Frenetic, Barrage, and Disseverment. The question though spawned from me reading about using the jubbah for the skill as well (not just STR/DEX mod Phys spells), but I was under the assumption physical potency was affected by mainhand accuracy. (All the acc added up plus whatever may be on your mainhand sword.)

So, using it for, say, M.Bite and other spells that aren't STR/DEX.

The attack value for blue magic is dependant on your blue magic skill, and the +15 skill from the body will help a lot more than the STR and DEX will.

It's 1 acc/atk per piece beyond the first, maxing out at 4 acc/atk with all 5 equipped.

Edit for Capo: This has always been the case. Maybe you checked your atk with 4 pieces on then with 5?

As well as the base damage rating, similar to how HTH skill+ makes base HTH damage (the DMG: # of the weapon) go up.

yeah i put 4 pieces on then made sure nothing else was going to change so i could see the change in attack with the full set on, i lol'd when it was one and then sold it all

That's exactly the answer I was looking for. Thanks so much.

pallas's bracelets or warrior's mufflers for steel cyclone on war/sam?
i used to use relic, but after all the 2h adjustments i'm not sure which would be better

[Sampi]

Why would a SAM ever wear Askar Korazin (STR+5 Attack+12 Double attack+2% +5 Store TP) VS a Hauby? I see a lot of 75 SAMs wear it and makes me think WTF...

[Charismatic]

STORE TP.

in terms of damage they are almost identical, pallas are very slightly better, but you lose that bit of acc
