Magic Accuracy Skill is a 1:1 ratio of skill:magic accuracy.
*This is different from how melee based combat skills calculate accuracy in tiers, and at less than 1:1 after 200 skill.
*This attribute is found on all [[item level]] weapons that can be equipped in the main hand.
*Only the main hand weapon's Magic Accuracy Skill affects Magic Accuracy, for [[Dual Wield]] balance.

*The original explanation regarding the introduction of the Magic Accuracy Skill statistic on weapons equating +1 Magic Accuracy Skill to +1 Magic Accuracy is the correct interpretation of its operation: [https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/37600-Macc-No-longer-displayed?p=473450&viewfull=1#post473450 2013 Dev post, English notes], [https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/29223-%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E3%82%A2%E3%83%83%E3%83%97%E3%82%92%E8%AA%9E%E3%82%8B%E3%82%B9%E3%83%AC?p=473383#post473383 2013 Dev post, Japanese version.]

**This is incorrect, the values shown here are assuming +1 Magic Accuracy Skill = 0.5 Magic Accuracy above and below 50% hit rate.

**If the magic accuracy return were actually 2:1 as the Dev post claims then Lute would have seen a drastic difference in their results.
***This also would make no logical sense given that it would give magic accuracy a significant decrease in gains compared to melee skill accuracy increases.
****Mages by design often have to hit ''somewhat'' similar quantities of magic accuracy against endgame foes as a melee player would. All of which depend on the foe's level, INT, and [[Resist|Resistance Rank]]. Further, the magic accuracy+ on equipment for mages is very similar to that of melees in quantity.
*****E.g. V20 [[Ongo]] requires a melee hit rate of ~1,241 to cap while a bursted earth spell requires 1,222 magic accuracy or a free nuke requires 1,365. A magic accuracy skill of 2:1 on a weapon would make a dramatic difference in hitting these numbers.
*****We do not observe this handicap in endgame, and the testing verifies the Dev post is confused, and incorrect.
