I don't know much about knightly mantle, but I love this for my BST. I just got it and I can't believe the improvement from the Gaia Mantle (however you spell it). Was reasonably priced at AH on unicorn server. Something I would recommend to have in your equipment stock pile.
Pally, is an HP based job this item is IMO 10X better then Knightly Mantle, If you cant afford this then dont get it but in end game situations HP FTW. Ask anyone who's done alot of High earth HNM the stats of 12DEF 20HP 5ATK Far our weigh VIT+4 DEF12, Hp is highly underrated in this game, just like EVA used to be..again this is End game back piece soo take from this post what you will but hte my 2gil for ya =P!
As a Rdm/blm without a Darkstaff (too poor) I am often told that I am backline mage (56rdm) yet I carry a wise wizards anelace and tend to melee in xp ptys do you believe it wise for a rdm of 60+ to use atk in xp party or should I keep this around for when I solo rdm/nin with 2 wise wizards anelace, life belt, scorp harness?

I agree with Svt, your too poor yet you own a SH which is like 5-6mil on Valefor (if i remember correctly) yet the dark staff is umm like 100k maybe 120k o.O
honestly..this Mantle should NEVER be worn. if your a tank..the Knightly Mantle is a FAR better choice..seeing that it gives +4 VIT. And if your in it for the Attack...use the lvl 61 <forgive my spelling> Anemit Mantle..it gives +STR as well as +Attack.
Ahn is right!!! In end game HNMs HP is more important then +Vit. I have 74 PLD and have +65 vit with my gear the mobs still hit me the same as if i had +40 vit. SE puts caps on how much a stat can change things I.e. vit can only lower the curve so much, then it doesnt do any thing. I have tested this that is why i use more HP gear for Gods and other HNMs. Dont get me wrong +vit helps and i still have a lot +40vit but i also have a lot of HP+ gear. But you are right this mantle will be outdate soon by another mantle, but not the ones u mentioned. The Gigant mantle has +80hp so people if they can get it will use it. i hope this helps.
I'd say Knightly Mantle would be a good alternative to this if you don't want to pay the high price for the Behemoth drop. They're the same defense and the Knightly Mantle gives +4 VIT, so it's perfectly suited to any PLD out there. http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?fitem=8822
changing subjects now as a lvl49 samurai, i couldn't wait any longer to see that furry giant called "behemoth" so being the idiot that i am... i went to behemoths dominion with some prism powder and some silent oil. going deep inside i camped in a roundesh circle. it was a dead end and nothing was there except for 2 thunder elementals. it was getting late and no pop for 4 hours made me kinda dazzy, then suddenly an alliance of lvl65-75 entered. waited another hour and i was slowly passing out, the alliance circled the dead-end of the dominion. i sat in the middle of the dominion and there it was.... it came right on top of me and hit me for 356 i ran and it used an AOE attack and did 116 damage i was getting low oh health the monk provoked and the alliance started the fight i could tell that they were a poorly organized alliance because there was 13 mages, 2 monk tanks, and 1 darknight but the fight lasted about 15 minutes, later i asked an english member of the alliance if he got any drops and well getting back to the mantle he got a behemoth hide and right on the spot one of the taru whitemages crafted him the hide. i got to see it and it looked pretty damn sweet, cant wait till i get one of those myself

It pains me to see a nerdy blowhard share his geek-knowledge in such an obviously compensating for real life way. Are you a manager at a Radio Shack? Thought so. Put the FFXI down and get some fresh air.

Anyone know average price in Sandoria Auction House?
pathetic question, if you actually got to level 60 to be able to equip it, you would be pretty experienced to know it more than likely will only be on AH in jeuno, and you would check for yourself 0.o lazy bum
