A fast easy way to see if your accuracy is up to snuff, and if your magic accuracy is good - go to Dho Gates or Wo Gates, see if you can hit the mob without song buffs and food. If your magic damage never land consistently (sometimes hit 20, sometimes 400-600) then you know you need to work on magic accuracy. The same goes to melee.
I would suggest to make capacity point party and work on your gears and macro testing against those mobs while you are at it. Those capacity points for Summoner is very very nice to have. The areas are mostly empty almost every time - so why not take advantage and do daily capacity point party and rack up those merits. Enjoy the somewhat old school nostalgia while promote non AFK behavior.
