Stat that is compared to an enemy attacker's accuracy to determine the chance that a character has of avoiding an attack. See Hit Rate for details.
Evasion is directly affected by a character's evasion skill and AGI. For every two points of AGI a character has, their evasion is raised by one point.
See Check for details on how to interpret high evasion and low evasion check messages.
Evasion Skill
A character's natural evasion skill gained via actual combat experience. Different jobs have different evasion potentials.
NOTE: These lists include items that enhance evasion skill. There are more than a hundred items that enhance evasion value, you can find them on the specific equipment slot pages (ie: Legs, Back, etc.).
Sand Cockatrice in Cape Teriggan. These are dangerous mobs to fight, however, you can use Hide on them and they have double attack, thus allowing for more skill up chances.
Korrigans on the second floor of The Boyahda Tree. More dangerous than Steelshells, but are Monk class and attack more often, thus allowing for more skill up chances.
High level Notorious Monsters, certain monsters in Assaults, Nyzul Isle, Besieged and other end game activities can provide plentiful skill ups. Just pull aggro and try not to die!
I find that if you're a THF that the best way to cap out EVA is to do besieged. Just got /whm pop the no dmg taken medication and diaga a mob. you'll get spammed with skill ups done right. Once med wears quickly pop 2hour and flee away :D GL
Don't even need to flee, just set homepoint in whitegate.
Head over to Stoneserpent General Zazarg. He is the Galka who is always tanking lots of mobs around him. Start building TP until you have enough for a weaponskill. Pop your "Fanatic's Drink" and or THF 2HR and immediately use Hurricane weapon skill. Most of the mobs will be attacking you and you should be getting parry/evasion skill ups like crazy. Remember to filter everything because the chat log will lag you. Remove evasion equipment and stack AGI equipment if you want to skill up parry faster.
Another highly effective method for using Besieged to skill up is to run to entrance where all the mobs come in at the very beginning of a Besieged. Sub WHM for Diaga (or BLM for Poisonga). Pop a Fanatic's Drink, then use Diaga on one of those huge crowds of mobs. Die, Home Point, and repeat. You can also get some levels on parrying if you engage a mob first and try to keep a lot of them in front of you.
