So recently i augmented one of these http://www.ffxiah.com/item.php?id=13694
A Psilos mantle: ACC +1 ATTK +12 R.ACC +1 R.ATTK +12
And the Augment i got was +4 Ranged ACC
SO my question is, is the Total of 12 R.ATTK + 5 R.ACC make this a better piece than my amemet +1?

Thank you in advance ^^

No. Ranged accuracy gear is much easier to come by than str/ranged attack gear for ranger.

Nice, but I would like to see that on my Amemet +1.

I can't bring myself to get mine augmented, signed by a friend who quit about 3 years ago. QQ;;;

Maybe Ill buy 1-2 or two to burn. >.>;

Use it with Barrage and stick with Amemet+1 for everything else. Atleast paired with AF+1 hands.

The best way to farm cocks is as Thf or with /thf. You start off sneaking up behind the cock and sneak attack it, sneak attack makes sure you end up hitting the cock from behind as hard as you can.

After that just start whacking the cock. Be careful though, the more you whack the cock the more likely to hit you with one of its nasty attacks. The last thing you want while you're face to face with a big cock is to end up

That's a lot of ABC's for a single ability. Much better off upgrading well... everything else before that just for 5 15 racc.

Edit: Whoops, I misread the Jaeger mantle.

I kind of have to agree though 150 ABCs just for barrage? This option is barely as expensive and he isn't missing out on RATK. Id only get the Jaeger to Complete what ever RNG armor I could.


1m-1.2m for a barrage piece isn't very cost effective for the OP if your like me and don't do Limbus much these days. especially when he's paying(150 ABC's of course hurrrrrr) for an ability that has a 5 minute recast.

If OP has Gil/ABCs to burn go for a Jaeger mantle, if you need other items stick with the Augmented Psilos for barrage and get what ever slots of gear you seem to be lacking.

Jaeger mantle Rare Exclusive
[Back] All Races
DEF: 7 Attack -10 Ranged Accuracy +20
Ranged Attack -10

Your actually getting 15 RACC over that Augmented Mantle but losing out on 10 RATK, but scoring an extra hit on barrage is worth losing such an amount.

Price: 150 Ancient Beast coins (This is the only turn off for me)
Lets face it I'm broke now and these new Fay Weapons didnt help.
3 Lances(Best I got was DMG94 STR3 DEX3)
3 Bows(STR+4 RATK+15 WSACC+13)
1 GK (lol its crap anyways.. :/)
/rantoff

So to conclude to the OP depending on how financially endowed you are or how much you lack; you should be able to decide which you will use. Stat wise I would say they are both valid options. I'd rather use the ABC Cost to go towards Bolts/Silver bullet Materials :X

Thought about augmenting a Lynx Mantle or Wyvern Helm?

Fixed. The augmented Psilos has 12 ratck on it. 22 RATCK is a pretty hefty number.

Lol am I the only one who blew ABCs on barrage piece? Guess I like full barrages a little too much. I can farm them easy on blm so guess it didn't seem quite as big of a deal :/

Just hasn't been priority for me, due to wanting other limbus items first. I'll have mine in a couple more weeks.

This. Although now that I have Boxers, Loq., Musical and Brutal and every Rng/Drg/Thf/BRd AF+1 worth upgrading maybe I will.

Or maybe I wont. I can not justify using 150 ABCs when I could sell them for about 1.35 mil gil

Besides, with food and buffs and other racc gear already I shouldn't need it. I'm capped/close enough on ixion and odin with Hunter's Roll and pot-au-feu in TP set, and barrage set uses more racc on top of that. More just isn't needed.

I think people worry too much about barrage racc. If you're at cap, you're at cap, and you're still gonna have some complete miss barrages. It's just bad luck, sh*t happens, but in the end you're still at acc cap, and if you're at cap, 20racc on your back isn't going to do sh*t.
