Re: +Acc On MNK Overrated and overpriced?
Yes, but bad english. I've seen much worse, but I do wonder where people buy keyboards without any punctuation marks whatsoever. I have to believe that's what the problem is, because I know I learned about periods when I was in first grade and apostrophes by third grade at the latest.

Re: +Acc On MNK Overrated and overpriced?
if you don't overhunt, and at your current level, you won't "see" much difference, but it's there. if you can live with performing under your best, then so be it

Re: +Acc On MNK Overrated and overpriced?
For connecting hits in Raging Fists, there is a difference.

I can understand not having expensive monk gear at level 40. Not everyone can afford it. For acc+ gear at level 40, besides the snipers or wood. ring, there are other cheaper alternatives... at least show some effort.

Re: +Acc On MNK Overrated and overpriced?
It actually took me longer to type all that than the 40 paragraph essays I usually do. Be thankful I tried to speak 1337 at all, what I normally would have written would have made your head explode. All the same, tips for free accuracy gear lie within all that jibberish.

Thing is, ya gotta do some work for it, as with most things in this game. Endure many harsh trials to get a Jaeger Ring, you must.

Re: +Acc On MNK Overrated and overpriced?
I apologize for your poor reception, Deathwish. They're usually quite nice people, really. Some punctuation would be nice, but you're doing ok as long as you leave it in 2-line bursts like you've done so far.

Seriously, people. You guys on KI a bit too much recently?

As for Deathwish, it is suggested that you read around a bit. You'll find that what you "feel" is hardly the truth in this game. You should probably do your best to quest a Brown Belt (if you haven't yet) and equip a venerer ring (quite cheap). Also, Battle gloves.

Question: do you eat food? With above set-up, eat sushi. Squid Sushi isn't too expensive and gives good amounts of +acc. You'll notice your tp gain rate increase. If you do not eat food, do so.

You've only been playing this game for 2 months. You cannot expect to grind straight to 75. There is simply no way you can already have your subjob fully leveled and all the gear you'll need. You'll have to take it slow and you'll have to take breaks to earn money.

Keep your Beastman's Seals, they'll turn into cash. Buy a Venerer ring now, a lifebelt @48, and some random +acc items if you want to try a meat build and scrape by. But for you, I'd suggest all +attack/STR and eat some sushi.

That was good punctuation, but the post content was sorta incoherent. Sorry about that e.e

I added KI to my restricted sites list due to keyloggers people like to plant there, but I still aggro to poor grammer and incomplete thoughts.

But getting back to what Lmnop said, yeah, you can't just push, push, push to 75, pass up gear and hope to stand out. There is a lot of good advice to be found on this forum and others, take time to read and consider it rather than ask if its all "overrated." This goes for subjobs too, many of the ones people consider "standard" are "standard" for a reason, then there are ones that are totally subjective, yet, that doesn't mean they have to be overlooked entirely.

I'm not saying you need to go out and spend millions of gil on awesome gear or sink lots of time into that sort of thing. But do put thought into what you want for MNK (or any job you claim as a "main job"). If there's a quest for a good piece of gear, make the time to do it or seek out friends to help you.

I've known a lot of people who just run to BRD, MNK, WAR, RDM or NIN for the fastest way to 75 and they typically don't do what I've mentioned. That's not to say they're all bad, they just don't stand out. This is pretty much why being level 75 meant nothing to me before and it means nothing to me now. To me, its more important how I got there.

Re: +Acc On MNK Overrated and overpriced?
+Accuracy gear is not necessary, at your level, but it is nice.

All together from my bit of extra gear I have a good mix of +Str +Att and +Acc

I generally hit about 4 hits on my Raging Fists (About 300-400 is my average).

Though it really depends on what I'm fighting. My party the other night wanted to go into Quicksand Caves with me at 43 >< My numbers were horrible. I think about 100ish damage on my Raging Fists, I tried Backhand Blow, but it just completely missed 3 times in a row.

Now thats real overhunting IT++++, the beetles were annoying.

Spiders were not bad, but they generally killed the tank >< (Stupid crappy ninja)

Good news is that I hit my highest numbers ever (generally play paladin so I never get high numbers).

A good 583 Raging Fists (Berserk was up and we were fighting VTs, and I was eating meat woooohoooooo).

And a good amount of the + accuracy gear at this level isn't bad, generally 20kish for most the pieces on my server that I have. Life belt is about 60kish.

Still, it's good to have +Acc for weapon skills, and when you overhunt.




I will live, and die by the Sword
