2 Questions as I Enlist in FFXI Archers Academy lol

[Sepukku]

1. Ive heard +2 AGI= +1RACC -AND- +RATTT. Ive heard Strength determines RATT. To increase damage (not accuracy) should I get Strength items or Agility Items?
(No I will not neglect AGI items, Im just saying if no good AGI items/food are in my price range...)

2. Can I use Barrage with a Gun? (Yes, Taru w/ a shotgun, watch out or ill turn your shins into spin art ^-^)

1) To increase damage per shot, you want +str and +att items. It does make a difference, particularly showing up in events like BC40 when everyone is on an even footing. (Other than that, I don't think anyone would know or care.) 2 Str "should" also add 1 Rattack, but it's hard to tell anything ranged with certainty, when you can't see the stats.

2) Yes.

1. 2 AGI = 1 Ranged Acc is false. AGI does play a factor in Ranged ACC though. It is better to enhance your ACC with Pure Ranged ACC Items. STR determines how hard you hit melee/ranged. The more STR, the more damage you do. Use Meat Mithkabobs or Meat Chiefkabobs.

2. Barrage works with X-bows, Guns and Bows.

1.) 2 AGI is APPROXIMATELY 1 racc, not exactly. It's more like .8 or something. For slots like earrings where there's no +racc stuff, +agi works nicely here. AGI does not add any ratk whatsoever. STR will increase your max damage and average damage by increasing your damage curve. From what I understand ratk only increases your max damage, not your damage curve.

2.) Only thing barrage doesn't work with is ammo that procs like fire arrows, bloody bolts, spartan bullets, etc. Also does not work with any throwing weapons. Other than that, works with every ranged weapon fine.
