Corsair/Equipment Guide

• Items link to HQ versions, however you can always use the NQ item. Most gear listed is focused on Range enhancing, AGI, or MAB gear.
• At level 20 Corsair/Ninja gets the Job Trait Dual Wield, this will allow an extra boost to Ranged Accuracy through the ability to wield a 2nd dagger.
  • COR20/RNG10 through COR59/RNG29 will automatically grant Accuracy Bonus I (Ranged Accuracy +10), while COR60/RNG30 through COR95/RNG47 will grant you Accuracy Bonus II (Ranged Accuracy + 22).
• Remember that some of the gear listed only works with a certain sub (either /RNG or /NIN).
• Rare, Exclusive and/or Augmented items will be in italics.
• Items in bold are for /WHM or /WAR and are only listed up to 30, because /RNG, /NIN, or /RDM become much more useful after level 30.
  • Past 30 if you require more MP gear please refer to a mage guide.
• Trial of the Magians guns are not listed due to the many required trials and variations, if you would like to see them please visit the Marksmanship Trials page.
• Format borrowed from Beastmaster Equipment Guide.

Below is my some recommended info to help out those who seek it. With most guides becoming less and less updated, I figured I would not do the same.

• Total dice cost for all dice (excluding Corsair's Roll which is free from unlocking Corsair) is 1,676,627gil.

• Pot-au-feu +1 - If your having problems hitting monsters with ranged attacks, grab this cheap food for more accuracy and attack.
• Red Curry Bun +1 - If your having no problems hitting monsters with ranged attacks, boost that damage with this food.
• Squid Sushi +1 - This is the food for both ranged accuracy and some agi to assist in your Quick Draw Accuracy.

• All cards can be picked up from Jajaroon in Nashmau at (G-7) for 48 gil for a single card (1 shot) for a total of 4,752 gil a stack (99).
  • Cards can be stored in a Card Case, like Ninja Tool Bags or Ammo Quivers. You can trade 99 cards and a Carnation to Nokkhi Jinjahl to make a Card Case.
• Trump Card Cases can be picked up from Jajaroon at the cost of 10,000 gil.
  • A Trump Card can be used in the place of any elemental card. (Note that the Trump Card will NOT overwrite a basic elemental card. IE. having a Fire Card and a Trump Card in you inventory when Fire Shot is used, the Fire Card will be used first.)

• Orichalcum Bullet - This is your new favorite overall bullet offering both MAB and damage greater then anything you've had before.
• Omphalos Bullet - This is your new best friend for Quick Draw, make sure you macro it out for anything that isn't Quick Draw or be ready to fight Akvan again for it.
• Steel Bullet - This is your cheaper damage dealing bullet. While Oberon's Bullet have more damage and range accuracy, you will be paying for every bit of that in gil.
  • Synthesized with Alchemy (48) and Smithing (30).
• Bronze Bullet - This is only for those magical weapon skills Leaden Salute and the much loved Wildfire.
  • Synthesized with Alchemy (38) and Smithing (13) or a stack can be obtained every 24hrs from the Bronze Bandolier.

• Commodore Tricorne +2 - About 31%-33% of the time you will receive supercharged roll bonuses even if you don't have that job in your party, but this only works on level 64 and under rolls.
• Desultor Tassets - If augmented with it, can provide your Phantom Roll Recast a 5 sec reduction.
• Luzaf's Ring - Increases your Phantom Roll and Double-Up area of effect from 8' to 16'.
• Navarch's Tricorne +2 - Enhances your Blitzer's Roll by 3%.
• Navarch's Frac +2 - Enhances your Tactician's Roll by a static 1tp/tick.
• Navarch's Gants +2 - Enhances your Phantom Rolls by 10%, increasing the duration of each a total of 30-40 seconds (depending on your Winning Streak merits). Also enhances your Allies' Roll by 5%.
• Navarch's Culottes +2 - Enhances your Caster's Roll by 10%.
• Navarch's Bottes +2 - Enhances your Courser's Roll by an unknown value at this time.

For more in depth Quick Draw information, please refer to COR Quick Draw Guide by Arekkusu. (Guide is a bit outdated on gear, but getting updated)

The formula for Quick Draw is:
2*(Gun base DMG + bullet base DMG)*(1+(MAB/100))*(staff bonus)*(Day/Weather Bonus)

• My recommendations are below for straight up damage and remember to bring the appropriate cards with ya.

Wildfire deals fire elemental magic damage and is unaffected by weapon or bullet base damage.

Its modifiers are AGI and MAB. A simple rule of this is about ~ 2 AGI > 1 MAB.

A simple formula (not 100% accurate) for Wildfire is:
(478.5 + 4.8*AGI - 2*Enemy's INT)*MAB

To calculate exact damage the formula for Wildfire is:
[floor(5.5 * (Lv + 2 + floor(@ * floor(AGI * .6))))] + [2 * (Your AGI-Enemy INT)]
