Not sure what you mean by resisted. If you mean the additional effects procing then probably. If you mean the spell landing or not no.

It completely depends on what you are fighting. But if you equip acc bonus and tp in decent amount of acc gear like homam or switf belt acc neck back etc and eat sushi you will be decently above the acc on most any xp lvl mob you'll face.

Did not take effect means it missed, not that it got resisted. Semantics etc, it's the correct term. Cap is 95% hitrate, macc does not affect physical spell accuracy.

BLU Accuracies:

Physical: Weapon Accuracy
Physical Spell's Additional Effect: Blue skill + Magic Accuracy
Magical Blue Spells: Blue Skill + Magical Accuracy.
Magical Blue Spell Additional Effects: Testing has shown that Macc effects the additional effect. Elemental Staves matching the EFFECT'S ELEMENT (not the spells element)will increase accuracy. I.E. Regurgitation will receive a Magic Accuracy boost from Water staff but it's bind will only receive a boost from the Ice Staff.

I'd love to see your testing on this...

Beat me to it. This came up a while back, but no data was ever produced aside from a brief test I conducted that I'm inclined to discard. I know the additional effect is generally aligned with its black/white magic equivalent (light sleep an exception, sorta), but my test only proved that point rather than anything concerning add effect macc.

Certain spells are calculated as ranged attacks, but whether or not they use racc I don't know... Given that we don't have an innate racc skill, it would be quite odd.

Doesn't BLU also get access to Rapid Shot?

I remember seeing someone saying there was testing about the effects being the element of the effect not the spell before... but can't remember if there was solid testing

Fire Elementals completely ignore the Bind from Regurgitation iirc. If it was water based it would land just fine.

Pinecone Bomb. If fact SE broke it a couple updates back with then Ranged update where it would deal massive amounts of dmg for no reason was hilarious.

And its success is based on RACC. Odd but yeah SE likes to make us BLUs buy a crap ton of extra gear for a single spell for no apparent reason.

Yeah but how often do you hit anything with it? Blu only has sword club evasion and parrying skill lol, I think that's the lowest amount of melee skills out of all jobs...
