Raetic looks nothing like it.

i'm so sorry, but these are the same weapon designs on different weapon types.
Rune chopper vs Mandau.
at least it comes with a bottle cap opener.

Not sure as I cannot find source but I had read a loooong time ago that the model for Rune Chopper was initially the model for Bravura and vice versa. That is why it looks so close to Mandau (or Apocalypse for that matter). BUT I could be entirely wrong as I the information I had read however long ago could have been wrong as well. Just my two cents.

So any theories as to why our Neck has magic accuracy on it? Steal land rate? Is TH based on magic accuracy, or general SE ***?

Status Bolts, obviously

Really though, I don't think Macc has any affect on steal/mug/despoil/thproc, but no actual testing was ever done to confirm or deny.

Yeah, those things are the only impact Macc could have as far as I can see. They have to do SOMETHING to have been put on the necks. Might not be that crucial, but there's got to be something it can impact.

I feel like it just might be a case of, "racc or macc, we have to pick one" I'd be down for a sick MAB/WSD aug though for Aeolean. Not that'd I'd ever pay for a torque(+2) until it's like 5m, but that's another topic.

Not that THF really gets anything good in this regard, but there are dagger WS with added effects that magic accuracy would have an impact on. If you /DNC, then it affects Violent Flourish as well.

God, I hate that you might be right about it being for that. If neck gets a WSD+5-10% aug it would at least be used for those WS by default, I guess?

Hey guys, I hope you have been doing well.

Pretty noob'd question here, so brace yourselves!

Is any augmented Herculean gear still BiS for any sort of TP and/or WS sets?

And may I please ask what is the minimal augment that is worth using for each/any of the pieces?

For example I am asking if someone could please word it like,

Herculean Vest is BiS for low, mid, high acc TP and/or WS set when it has at least QA + (insert # here), and acc + (insert # here) etc etc

Also, in which order should I prioritize augmenting each Herculean pieces first?

Thank you very much in advance for your time and help

You can get DT -3 or MDT/PDT -4 with any stone. You can only get DT -4 with Fern (and MDT/PDT -5 with Fern, too)

Is there any chance we get an update on the first page? I don't mind digging through all the pages, but it's been 5 years since its last update or so I think?

I've requested before that like "current" sets be the first post of every page. I think that would be awesome. Incredibly so.

Instead of "stickying" the THREAD. "sticky" the post for the top of every page.

I don't know how you accomplish it, but I'm sure a codewizard can make that happen in 5 minutes.

I agree, having a constant sticky that holds about a 3rd of the page for combat sets *should* be pretty easy to implement. I do however remember someone saying that ffxiah was built on a very old format? So maybe easier said than done?

Hey guys, I hope you are having a good week.

I am trying to regear my THF (It's been years)

Looks like this guide is pretty outdated (On the first page)

Could someone please take the time to point me in the correct direction for an up to date guide and/or current BiS sets? Or perhaps someone on FFAH that has up to date item sets I can try to work off of?

I'm sure the info is somewhere on here, I just haven't found it yet. I'm so clueless as I'm not even sure the top Daggers to AIM for anymore. What are a few good combos? Is Aeonic Dagger > EMP dagger a good combo?

Thank you very much in advance for your time and help

For those that care, most thf lua have a mistake with where check_buff('Feint') is located.
Code
function job_post_aftercast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    -- If Feint is active, put that gear set on on top of regular gear.
    -- This includes overlaying SATA gear.
	check_buff('Feint', eventArgs)
end


This should actually be put in job_handle_equipping_gear(playerStatus, eventArgs) below sneak and trick
Code
function job_handle_equipping_gear(playerStatus, eventArgs)
    -- Check for SATA when equipping gear.  If either is active, equip
    -- that gear specifically, and block equipping default gear.
    check_buff('Trick Attack', eventArgs)
	check_buff('Sneak Attack', eventArgs)
    -- If Feint is active, put that gear set on on top of regular gear.
    -- This includes overlaying SATA gear.
	check_buff('Feint', eventArgs)
end


This is to say you're just proccing TH with SA or Ta, swing with w/e gear on (TH+5 and critD/stp/multi/dex/agi w/e). The Feint set is supposed to equip over it when Feint is active. This does not work properly in the first case.

There's nothing to think until augs are shown

Going to take something phenominal to beat Anu/Ainia for TP but won't take much to beat Caro for ws's

I expect Dex+25 based on the drk neck shown. And then either stp or triple attack in slot two. Slot three probably crit hit damage or something useful but not as useful as we would like. Got my neck already, kinda dreading augments making su5 dagger best offhand.
