Shinimusha Haidate  

Store TP info can be found in the SAM forums.

Anyway, the point of these is that with a 450 Delay GKT, such as the level 50 Koryukagemitsu, you need 46 StP to reach a 6 hit build. At 50, you get Store TP trait III, which gives you 20 flat-out. This leaves you needing 26 more. If you equip the Shinamusha Hara-Ate + Shinamusha Haidate then you have added 15, for a total of 35 (leaving 11 to go). Now, equip Rajas Ring and you are only 6 away.

For the final 6, you have two options.

Option 1) Carbonara

Food Effects: (30 Minutes, All Races)
HP +14% (Cap: 175 @ 1249 Base HP)
MP +10
Strength +4
Vitality +2
Intelligence -3
Attack +18% (Cap: 65 @ 361 Base Attack)
Store TP +6

Option 2) Arrabbiata + Ecphoria Ring

Food Effects: (30 minutes, All Races)
HP +12% (Cap: 150@1250 Base HP)
Strength +5
Vitality +2
Intelligence -7
Attack +22.5% (Cap: 120@533 Base Attack)
Store TP +5

Note that you get one more STR and more ATK with Arrabbiata, but that due to it only having 5 versus 6 StP, you need to add 1 more from your ring slot. Also, since it is made with Dragon Meat, price may be prohibitive.

Hopefully this information clears up the confusion that was posted below.

As a final note, people using Soboro Sukehiro should not be focusing their gear on StP.

Soonest seen him spawn is 5mins after I killed him and latest 5hrs after I killed him >.> 1/5 after 7hrs with TH4. Droped both pants when he did drop though, seems to be a trend based on the posts. They spawn on a 14min timer and the nm spawns in line with that timer roughly 6vana hours.

Just like to say...

After many many hours of no pop and frustration last night and another 2hrs and abit today.. HE FINALLY POPS! AND *cough* 1/1.

I'm one happy taru ^^

Well, if you are xping on mobs that are weak too dark magic, a DRK can build tp just as quick as a SAM or a RNG, if not quicker, with a 1 min recast timer on abs-tp, we can ezly do 1 ws every 1 min if not quicker. (Take into consideration the mob doesn't use its TP attack) we can get an average of 50-125 TP back. With 3 mp a tic without a RDM refresher, I can ezly cast abs-tp every 1 min and out TP build alot of SAM's and RNG's. Yeah a SAM can do 2 WS back to back but in the long run I was doing 2 to his 1. Just a thought, of course if you don't have 3 mp tic with refresh gear and saction this will be had to maintain. With the right set up DRK's can build TP real quick and deal alot of DMG.

Well i got mine last night,They dropped on my first try.Killed the Strongman with 64MNK/WAR.I used my 2hr, just for fun,which made for a quick kill. No one was camping it so i stuck around and got a second shot at him. He popped an hour and half later, even without 2hr i still didnt have much trouble killing him. No drop on second kill though. My SAM is currently 49 so im excited to try em. Even if they dont make a huge difference, they still look good!

1.9m on titan....

Just a fun fact: At Level 50 (w/ Store TP 3), with a 420 Delay GK, you need exactly +15 Store TP to get 100% TP in a default 7 hits and not a default 8 (as in, from 0%, w/o getting hit, and w/o shooting your bow). That's what the Shinimusha Body & Leg add up to.

For a 450 Delay GK, you need +7 Store TP.

I was bored mining in Gusgen Mines, figured I'd take an adventure away from the death and mining gil sellers of my server. I explore around as I mine and look up NMs in the area, figure I'll try to pop this guy, sure enough 20 minutes later he pops I quickly defeat him and what's more? I get every drop that is possible to loot off this sucker, Lucky night I guess eh? hehe

Ok aside from the new HQ Alumine Gear, These are awesome for non soloing. Simply just have a swap to AF macro for when using a weapon skill for the +3 str. I want to get these again. Especially with the new jse gear.

I'm wearing both Shinimusha parts(body and pants) which give me +15 TP Store. With Ochiduo's Kote and 2 Snipper Rings, this allow me to greatly out damage any DRK of my level, and I also get more TP then a RNG/NIN(meditate included). Not only do I almost always hit my target, but TP goes damn fast !!!

my TP stats:
When my hits land: 15 TP
When I get hit: 3-4 TP
When my arrows land: 18-19 TP

This doesn't look much. But over all, and espescially when tank loose hate to me (which happen pretty often is he's not a PLD), then it really does a difference...

Ho, and did I mension how cool it looks ???

ALSO, and most of all, note that now, for the first times since March patch, I can self-chain again ! and pretty easilly !!! (as long as mob is hitting me between my 2 WS).

if you ask me, yes this is a good item, yes i have been thinking of buying it, yes i have bought it, no i was not pleased with it.

ok right now i am a lv56 sam/war, i am pretty displeased with this item, i spent 280k on this and i was not happy about the outcome, i was already using RK breeches and i dont think these are worth the money, if these were like 80k-120k yeah then they would be worth it but over 150k? no way, i bought my RK breeches for 100k and i like them alot better than these or AF, yes the store tp thing is pretty neat but SE really gimped us on our store tp ability, i mean +.5 tp... that doesnt make much of a difference at all, percision timeing on your skills is the key to building TP, they have a new item called the Shinimushas Hara-Ate that gives a Store TP bonus of +9, as soon as i figure out how to get it, i might trade in my RK chainmail and RK breeches and buy these back, but if your using these alone, you probably wont see a difference, and i dont know why everyone loves the AF legs, the only time i use them is when im walking in town, other than that, no i hate them, +3 str and +15hp doesnt stack up agains +2 str +2 dex +3 atk, so if you ask me, RK breeches beat this, and the AF, the only time this is usefull is if you have alot of store tp items, and theres not many out there so just skip this item unless you have a buttload of cash, either way your gonna need to save up for the Haubergeon anyways, make up your own decision im just telling you my opinion.

k i bought these right after the expansion....
got em for 250k on quezelcotl, befor these i was
gaining 13 tp a hit. after i bought these i was
getting 14-15 tp a hit.. i dont think that 250k was worth the tp gain im gonna switch to the af leg armor right when i get to 54 (3k exp)....
