I have a set, the only visible effect is the def. I'm hoping it gives a hidden effect of extra accuracy or something. Even if it doesn't, I still macro them for Last Resort and Sleep II...

Ahem. The AF boots are by no means crappy, and don't believe anyone who tells you they are. They are closer to unique.
The 5 mnd that you recieve from the boots isn't useless. Mnd is used in certain great sword weapon skills. The only one that comes to mind at the moment is cross reaper. Have em macro'd in there for a little extra damage and people will thank you for it.

A ship sails and I stand watching 'til she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says, "She is gone." Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all; she is just as large as when I saw her. The diminished size, the total loss of sight is in me, not in her, and just at that moment when someone at my side says "She is gone," there are others watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout "There she comes!" And that is dying.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/profile.xml?20442 Maxanlax, DRK 75 on Unicorn Smithing: 89+1 Leathercraft: 58 Goldsmithing: 42 Clothcraft : 60 Alchemy: 25 Woodworking: 46
