+accuracy or +"weapon" skill?

[Laehn]

Well, i know that skill on weapons effects accuracy, but to what degree? Is it better than +accuracy items? And +skill effects weapon damage too right?

Btw, anyone know how those weapon belts work? Like staff belt, mace belt...? Theyre latent effect, so i originally thought they worked by subjob...but then i thought about that...blms and smns are both as proficient with staves...so anyone know?

I believe that each weapon "skill" adds 1 attack and 1 accuracy for that weapon.

The belts you are talking about only go off when you're subjob matches the correct belt.

The Staff belt goes with Blm Sub, due to the fact that there is an Avatar Belt for Smn sub.

Out of all the belts, I find that Sarashi (enhance dual weild) is most popular and is best overall due to the fact that you NEED nin sub anyways to have dual weild. For Nin sub all the +enhance dual weild you can get is always good.

The +marksmanship belt is good for Rng subs, seeing as those who want to play around with Gun/Xbow WS need Rng sub to use them having the belt would give extra +Ranged Accuracy.

1 skill = 1 attack and .9acc, i think. its in the games formula.. or .9 attack and .9acc and it just rounds up.. you'll have to go look.
