So I just found out recently, like today, that equipment actually DOES affect your stats. [EDIT: As you level.] I had heard about it, but never really noticed it or anything.

I'm not going to go through the game to max out everyone's stats as best I can, but I would just like to know if anyone has actually used this knowledge to their advantage.

Just to show how good it can be:

My Garnet has 72 Magic at Level 99. I always have her equipped with magic increasing equipment. But it you do it right her magic can hit 91 at level 99. Higher than Eiko's(Max's at 90) and Vivi's(Who actually maxes at 87 or something. oO)

----
I also would like to know who people find more useful. Garnet or Eiko? I know, some people don't use healers, but just humour me.

I had read a few places that people believe Eiko is more powerful than Garnet. I, myself, have never seen this.

How do these relate? Well, I power level like CRAZY in this game. And I found out that Eiko's stats, more than anyone's, are affected the most if you get her at a high level. I read that she is suppose to have 1 less ability stone, naturally, than Garnet and Vivi. She always has about 10 less than them for me. And her stats are horrible. I read that if you don't get her at a relatively low level her stats will bomb, and she will never live up to her true potential. She is, naturally, suppose to have the same strength as Garnet, supposedly, and slighly less magic. But in my newest play through, at Level 86 she is weaker than Vivi and has lower magic than Quina.

Anyway. How is everyone else's Eiko doing? And how does she compare to other part members?

To much? :ohshit:

I believe Eiko's starting stats depend on Marcus' when you lose him. You can level him to insane levels when you use him on disc 2, which greatly affects Eiko's starting stats.

I've never really paid any attention at all to how equipment affects stats, so no, I don't bother with that. As long as I don't have trouble with the bosses, I don't feel the need to spend that much time figuring out stats and such.

I DID level Marcus pretty high though. I found that helpful since I like Eiko a lot. :lew:
 
There is actually a thread for Called "Eiko or Dagger" or something its not that old either.
that equipment actually DOES affect your stats

I would not worry about maxing out stats like that when the gain is so insignificant,
only seed is considerably effected at 99, Im talking the ATB gauge is lightning fast there is no delay in turn time what so ever.

If you want to focus your efforts try gaining higher spirit stats as this leads to more Trance mode occurrences, if trance mode is even a part of your game plan?
 
I read that Marcu affected Amarant, not Eiko. Hrmm... Confusing.

And I'm not worrying about. I mean, leveling with stat boosts. I guess I should have clearified that.
