Lvl 58 drk here. i have 2x snipers, life belt, the AF gear, and the neck that gives +4 attack and accuracy, (good lord i forgot the name)), vassagos, assault, spike, i guess the standard. I also have haubergeon coming at 59.

well anyway with my acc around 30+ and my attack around +20 i was wondering which foods i should use.

i never tried jackolanerns yet but i hear those are pretty widely used among drks. a fellow player gave me a squid sushi +1 to try though and ive been hooked on those ever since. i hardly miss at all which really helps the whole skillchain bit. i guess my question is..

jackolanterns, sushi, or something else?
 
I'm a Dragoon, and I personally use Sole Sushi if the mobs we are killing have high evasion
 
I'd have to agree, sole sushi is going to be better than squid sushi for a DRK. Squid kicks ass for a THF, because it adds DEX AGI and accuracy, but Sole would be better for you since it adds DEX STR and accuracy. ;)
 
what race are you?

i'm a level 57 DRK Elvaan, so umm.. yeah .. i miss .. A LOT.
i pass on the DEX+ food and prefer jack-o'-lanterns for the accuracy + 10. i NEED more accuracy, but if your another race - say mithra who miss less than elvaan - i'd go for DEX+ or STR+.

also you always have the Absorbs spells right? (absorb-dex, absorb-str ...)
 
I've been using Sole Sushi for the last 5 levels (DRK) and must say I am hooked on it.

Pop one in, absorb-agi (lower the mob's evasion) and str (More dmg for you and help out your tank), fire an acid bolt (Defense down)and enjoy the result! I've been slicing thourght crawler like there is no tomorrow.
 
I'm pretty sure squid sushi is acc+14, something more thank jack'o's

But I have not tried sole yet. Bah when evasion is not a prob on certain mobs i rather eat the Yellow Curry. Mind you I am a THF, so just ignore all i have just said. I also have the Elvaan (in)accuracy.
 
Jack'o lantern gives +10 acc +10 evasion (solid number)

Sushi (sole and squid AFAIK) give stat boosts as well as +14% acc. <--- not 14, but 14%!!!!!!!!!
 
yes sushi adds a percentage of your accuracy, but how do you know what your base accuracy is anyways?
 
I believe every point in a weapon's skill rating adds 1 accuracy. Popular belief is that DEX also increases Accuracy by .5 points per DEX.

Note that the benefit from Sole Sushi does not factor in your accuracy from equipment. It only uses your base accuracy (which is hidden) when deciding how much of an accuracy bonus you get. Also, the benefit caps at +39 Accuracy, according to a few online sites.

Anyway, sole sushi is your best bet if you can afford it (25k for 6 hours of food is pretty steep...) If you're lacking money, then either jacks (each jack lasts 3 hours or until you die; make sure you have enough with you just in case) for Accuracy or mithkabobs for STR and Attack work good (yes, hitting often is good, but getting high damage per hit is also good... the best thing is to strike a balance between hit rate and damage/hit, as your total damage will suffer if you boost one but neglect the other).
 
so what your saying is ...

scythe weapon skill = 188
base DEX = 52
DEX+ equipment = 5
accuracy+ equipment = 27
salmon sushi = 15% 0f 188 = 28.2

base accuracy = 188
accuracy bonus from base dex = 26
accuracy bonus from dex+ equipment = 2
accuracy bonus from accuracy+ equipment = 27
accuracy bonus from sushi = 28

188+26+2+27+28 = 271 accuracy

??
 
I have pretty much the same gear as you but I have the haub instead of the RK gear I assume you are wearing....Eat sole sushi, sure your dmg goes down a little but seriously I miss 1 of 10 and ALWAYS have tp for SC ^^

For what it's worth, Im Hume...
 
>_< damn you humes!!

i was once in a PT with 2 DRKs, the hume DRK hardly missed (when compared to me).
 
yeah forgot to mention i was elvaan and i do have a haubergeon coming at 59 so i could probly spare some accuracy for damage. i havent tried sole sushi or jacks yet but i think im going to trade in my squid sushi and try those two. thanks for all the input
