Tarisland hit rating explained and getting more hit

Hit rating is one of the most underappreciated stats in Tarisland, largely because the game does not hint at the stat being important. However, if you’re a DPS player, you will need to get Hit on your gear. Failing to do so will leave your damage uncompetitive, as you’ll find yourself missing your enemies when you reach higher levels or take on harder content. This guide will explain the importance of hit rating in Tarisland and the best ways to get hit rating in the game.

What is hit rating in Tarisland?

To put it simply, Hit Rating is a stat that measures the likelihood you will hit your attacks against the enemy you are fighting. You can see your current hit rating score by going into your character attribute and stats screen, then checking the hit rating value.

Now, you need to measure that hit rating value by the content you’re looking to complete. When you reach level 30, you’ll find that you need about 70-80 hit rating to land all your attacks against mobs in the open world. Meanwhile, if you’re attempting dungeons, raids, elite modes, and challenge modes, you will need a lot of hit rating.

You can check how much hit rating you need by going into either the dungeon or raid menu screen and then selecting the instance you want to do. You’ll then find there is an attributes button to the right of the dungeon or raid’s name, and when you press it, it will tell you the required stats you need. In terms of hit rating, it will tell you how much Hit you need, and your current hit rating score.

Depending on how close or how far away your hit rating is, you will be more or less likely to land your attacks. If you meet or exceed the hit rating, you’ll land all of your attacks. Assuming you’re around 10 less hit rating than the desired value, you’ll likely miss around two or three times per instance. Your chance of hitting an enemy when you are missing 20+ hit rating greatly decreases. The further away you are, the more likely you’ll fail to hit the target you’re fighting. You need to get hit on your gear to avoid losing huge damage bursts or missing key abilities in your build’s rotation.

It is hard to determine a percentage chance you’ll hit based on your hit rating compared to the enemies as all creatures have different hit rating requirements, based on target level or instance requirements. So, the rule of thumb is to be pretty close to the hit rating requirement. The further away, the more that miss chance compounds and makes it harder to land any skills at all.

How to get more hit rating in Tarisland

Players will find other are a few methods to get hit rating on your gear in Tarisland. The first method is via the gauntlets loot option, specifically the icon that looks like a bracer rather than a glove. There are a few ways to get these items:

• You can get a guaranteed 57-hit rating by completing the Camp Carlyan dungeon on normal difficulty.
• Farm the elite Merfolk Swamp dungeon, as you can get epic bracers which roll two random stats.
• Spend gold on the auction house on 80 item-level bracer gauntlet items. It’s expensive, so avoid doing this if you can.
• Spend your Rare Medals on the bracer gauntlet item to roll random chances to get hit rating.

There is a second method to get hit rating, which is via the Ruby Chest options purchasable from the Trading Post under the Gems category. For the most part, Jewelcrafter professions make gems, and they sell their random red crate options on the Trading Post. The ruby gem crates cost around 189 gold on my server at the time of writing. These crates can contain a selection of 2 gems, which can either be your primary stat or hit rating.

The Tier 1 gem crates give around 6 of each stat. So, you may need to get a few to reach the hit cap needed on your gear.

Outside of that, you’re largely rolling and farming gear for more hit in the future. You’ll naturally acquire more hit rating as you start clearing raids and looting other pieces of gear. Moreover, as the higher-tier gems become craftable by experienced Jewelcrafters on your server, you’ll start getting better gems available to purchase. Remember to start working on your own professions to afford the gold you need to buy your gems, or become a Jewelcrafter yourself to address these gem slotting requirements for the short term. Any extras you can sell on the Trading Post to get more gold too, for funding your potions. Just a few ideas on how you can fund an expensive part of the gearing process while still being a Free-to-Play player.
