Samurai: Levels 1-30 - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

I recently got Samurai, and was loving it up to lvl 10. It's a job I've wanted for a long time and now I just don't know about it anymore. I have played around with Dragoon (my 2nd choice) and Jump+Wyvern are really nice, plus the added ACC bonuses later.

SAM just isn't offering much right now, I know in the end at higher levels it's "somewhat" worth it. But I get into parties and after missing 7-15 (highest miss rate so far) I get kicked out...some pts don't notice but I feel like I am not contributing. DRKs, DRGs, practically every other melee reaches 100% before I do and say "I thought SAM gained TP really fast." I really want to play this job, but it seems like I'll never get to even lvl 20. Is there any advice on what I can do to improve, missing that much is ridiculous...althought maybe I just notice misses more since it's a long delay and I am just waiting to let loose a WS, however each miss hurts a lot.

P.S. Valkurm Dunes is horrible, I cannot stand the n00bs there...they refuse to listen and take advice, yet invite advanced jobs who have played the game for awhile -_- Alternative levelling places would be helpful....

Make a 6 man PT to go either in Yughott Grotto or Gusen Mines

At your level there's basically nothing you can do to improve your accuracy.
At 14 you can go for dex rings, but the first +acc item SAM can wear is the Windurst/Federation Tekko at 25.

dragoon and acc bonuses? they only get one acc bonus at lvl 30. I'm enjoying sam a lot more than drg and i feel im more useful in a party since i can chain with 2 people every fight. suck it up and get to 30, its a lot better from there

and they only have that to offset the fact that dragoons have the worst dex of melee.
