    Speaking in terms of WS macros:

    Tokon Hachimaki = 5 H2H skill, 12 Accuracy, 5 Conserve TP (H2H skill give DMG: +1)

    Anwig Salade = 4 STR, 25 Accuracy, 5 Attack

    324 H2H skill = 291 Accuracy, 329 H2H skill = 296 Accuracy, so Tokon's H2H skill gives a full 5 accuracy in this case... Attack on Anwig is canceled out by the H2H skill on Tokon also.

    So it comes down to:

    Tokon: DMG+1, 5 Conserve TP

    Anwig: 4 STR, 8 Accuracy

    What's better for WS? (I'm pretty sure the answer is going to be Anwig, but I just want to make sure.)

    One other question relating to MNK gear...

    STR Taipans | | | Thew Bomblet
    Usu. Head | Faith | Brutal | Ethereal
    Usu. Body | Usu. Hands | Rajas | Toreador
    Foragers | Black Belt | Usu. Legs | Usu. Feet

    Close to optimally geared, I think - but I'm considering getting a Strigoi Ring in place of Toreador's. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

    Current stats (/NIN, no food, no buffs) come out to:

    STR: 114, DEX: 91, Attack: 450, Accuracy: 397

    Going forward, does that seem too light on Accuracy (with or without Pizza)? Eyeballing it, I haven't noticed had any accuracy issues - and I've become a huge fan of Carbonara in Abyssea... but I know 397 is close to borderline for capped Acc on something like Greater Colibri (ignoring level corrections).

    assuming capped ACC on guillo regardless, in what order do these bodies place:

    hauby+1
    perle
    askar
    ares (pretty sure ares is best, but not completed it yet due to lack of 25)

    Ares > Askar > Perle = Haub+1 if acc isnt a factor.

    How do plastron and Heca body factor into that hierarchy?

    That one goes beyond just doing some quick mental math so not 100% on it. Plastron should be somewhere between askar and perle/haub. Heca vs. Askar is closer, it should win if you're getting +3 damage from the extra 7 str, (2 from fSTR and 1 from WSC) but otherwise it's around the same place as plastron maybe even lower.

    On the topic of Guillo, upgrades to this set?


    Ultimatum (107D)/Pole/---/Bomblet
    Nhead/PCC/Brutal/Assault
    Hauberk+1/Perle/Rajas/Flame
    Forager's/Virtuoso/Black cuisses/Ares feet

    Things I know:
    - Bomb core instead of bomblet when less acc is needed
    - Need WS Gorget, working on it
    - +6 STR ring maybe

    I use virtuoso because I like the acc, I find I really need it a lot of the time despite having capped skill at 80 and full merits. No abyssal earring (really hard to organize a DM these days... got Suppa forever ago) and so.

    With Diabolic Eye up I intend to swap out Nhead for Varangian when I get it.

    What else should I look into? In Abyssea EXP with a BRD or a COR (not both) I'm averaging 1000-1100 or so with the high end ones being around 1800 (double attacks, etc) and low ends when all hits land around 900.

    I eat pizza+1, btw.

    It really depends on what you're fighting. I've been killing Mangy-tailed Marvin on my Ninja with roughly the same amount of Accuracy and have had zero issues. When I was XPing on Bugards on Monk with roughly that Accuracy, however, I definitely needed Pizza. Strigoi Ring is almost certainly worth getting (I can't see SE releasing STR +10 rings next month), either way.
