Ok, I read the posts here and for the Kingdome Aketon, but I can't seem to find anyone who has asked or mentioned... Can you get crystals from too weak mobs with this, or does it still have to be EP or higher?
I have 2, the one for Sandy and the one for Windy, I had Bastok's but sold it. I love them! Cute and very usefull! I might buy Bastok's again just so I can have them all.
I do Goldsmithing and I use Fire crystals currently. Instead of me spending 3k per stack of crystals, I can wear this and head to Valkurm Dunes and get myself all the Fire Crystals I need. The movement speed helps because my guild is in Bastok and i'll be doing a lot of running to/from the guild to the AH and since time is money.... :)
I'm currently working on my 2nd Rank 10 and still use my aketon to farm for crystals when levelling my jobs 1-10. It's the same def as any fishing/fielding/mining gear and suits a double purpose. It's the perfect excuse for ridding myself of the lvl 1 RSE.
Crafters or those who are leveling a low job may want to have it. I know that the price of crytals sucks when you are trying to raise craft skill. Most of the people I have seem this on are low level jobs anyways.
