Here's a breakdown of what we got:

Pixie hairpin+1: best Leaden Salute head without even a question, this is a huge boost.

Arvina Ringlet+1: best ring to pair with Archon for Leaden or with Garuda+1 for WF.

Nomkahpa mittens+1: obviously best melee hands!

Windbuffet belt+1: tough competitor for Shetal stone.

Engulfer mantle+1: just an upgrade for the mdt set.

Alruna gloves+1: best racc hands, good for Last Stand too when racc uncapped.

Mekosuchinae harness: awesome idle body(hope it looks cool haven't seen the icon), and best racc body(but mind it lacks recycle and ratt of Laksa).

Elder+1: obviously best grip when using Chatoyant, but remember that using staff is rarely convenient.

Arendsi fleuret: yay 119 sword!! With mdmg+90 too!

Eosuchus club: cause why the *** not.

So far haven't got Vellaunus+1 to beat Atheling, will do more test to see if there's any situation where it might pull ahead.
Quotin for new page.

They lack the enmity- of Thurandaut+1 so they're negligible for pretty much any set. Might be the highest snapshot pants though considering Nahtirah are 9% and these should be 14%.

edit: I'm blind they have enmity- too. Guess they're best racc pants then, though not a huge upgrade.

I really dont know what kind of math SE does to decide when a randon 119 weapon should have 242 or 228. Obviouslty 242 h2h skills would be broken for oatixur, but not for tinhaspa...

Guess I'll start caring about Incursion now. Lol.

Phantom Roll recast as an aug is actually very surprising.

What do you think about Vanir Feet vs Scopuli Nails +1?

Thinking about Last Stand.

Vanir should be almost always better. If your racc is capped but att isn't Scopuli might pull ahead, but it's a minor difference.

Just switched my Moonshade Earring to +250. Unfortunately, there are absolutely no AGI+ earrings in stock on my server. Should I stick with Alt/Wil combo until I can get one or would I be good with Moonshade + Volley or something?

For Last Stand I guess? There's Matanki that's pretty good. If you're unable to do Meebles/don't have points, can just stick to a Clearview.

Yea. That NM is needed for level 90 emp harp and shield, so it's camped pretty heavily and all the stuff rots.

Quick question. Arendsi Fleuret > Vanir Knife? My COR mule at the moment full times Vanir Knife and comparing stats it looks like the sword is better.

Not an expert COR myself but the only thing on Vanir Knife that the sword doesn't have is accuracy so definitely gotta go for the sword.

Strictly for WF/Leaden yes, but remember the sword has less acc if you're meleeing.

Tbh I only use Requiescat on older content cause I can't be bothered to waste bullets there. It's rarely useful on anything that matters.

Well I don't need an excuse to use Last Stand.

Alright so I'll ask a question now, you're talking about using different weapons for different purposes but with the whole fact that typically, QD will be used, as will ranged attacks + ranged WS as well as potentially, melee attacks and melee WS, how often are different weapons actually used?

Personally I've never held different weapons as I'm always accounting for the TP loss from swapping weapons so I just have the best general purpose weapon.

That depends on what you're main focus is. First question is: are you meleeing or shooting?

If meleeing:
Are you going to use Last Stand or Leaden/WF, or both?
Last Stand or both: Sabebus/Atoyac
Magic: Arendsi/Atoyac
Acc problematic content: Vanir/Sabebus

If shooting: Atoyac/Acinaces

Ah, my options have probably been more limited then as I have yet to unlock WF or Leaden Salute, should really get on that.

Not just less acc, but COR has lower sword skill as well.

It's still nice to have a better slashing dmg option though.

On Leaden, Zodiac should replace Arvina+1 on day, right? If I have an Archon Ring. (I don't yet but here's to being prepared)

PS: Holy hell Pixie+1 is a MONSTER.
