Mist gear is also an item you can trade in for Guild Points. I was trying to keep my CC at 40, becuase all the guild point items they were asking for were like Gaiters, Gloves, Kenpogi and really easy stuff to make (and cheap). But I decided I wanted to be able to HQ Shinobi Tabi and went ahead and started raising CC again. I checked back the same day that I had turned in 9 Kenpogi and the guild was now asking for Mist Mitts. I only have 39k GP and can't get the key item yet needed to make it. Higher level guys keep telling me don't get it until you've already gotten the others, it's not really worth it in the first place. Eh well.

I was wondering, if you get this item, then you change guild contracts, do you still keep it? I am asking b/c I (someday) plan on taking leather and cloth quite high (100 and 60 respectivly at the moment), but want to make sure I keep my key items (actual items I assume you keep) if I change guild contracts.

Reason -- If I do want to make the nice really high stuff I'll need the actual items from both guilds (apron + lvl 50 skill items).

Thanks in advance

it would never change Guild Point price, 40k for anyone of good enough lvl.

This is a key item purchased with guild points at the cloth guild. It is required for making some of the new cloth recipes introduced with CoP. At my skill level (Cloth 80), the cost of the key item is 40,000 guild points.
