As I was nearing my lvl70s I decided to do some research for my end game gear (which can be purchased, since the best of the best gear is ex/rare it would take a little longer to get). I bumped into these at the bottom of the hands armour list. None in stock and with a quick glance at the sales history it didn't seem there would be one for awhile to come. I aslo checked the +1 version and that would take even longer for one to pop in stock. Anywho, I began my research into these fine mitts; and alas! You don't need to have leathercraft at an exceptionally high lvl. Luckily for me I had a good friend with leather at 80+ and cloth at 60 (if my memory serves me right). At the time the normal version of these mitts were headin off for 500k. I looked at the ingrediants and thought I'd risk an extra 200k to purchase two of the most expensive ingrediants for this synthesis: 2x Tarasque Skin
So I pass on all the ingrediants except for the earth crystal as I wanted him to sign it. A day or two later I get a messege: "You're going to love me for a very long time."
I am so glad that I invested 200k extra for these mitts. Anyways, attack+12 is wonders for me as a DD, deffense is abismal but hey... I'll have utsusemi:ni fairly soon. +6 fire will cancel out the -6 fire from the bomb core I use. CHR-6 is the only drastic problem; SE have clearly stated that CHR can greatly affect weapon skills, whether it be skillchains also I'm uncertain. Just hope it won't affect Rampage.
So if your on the Shiva server, come and examine me and /cheer for my craftsman :D
glad to see you're usin your head to get what you want but rare ex = the best of the best? Naw, I'm gonna skip some of my af2. their just not gonna give me the boosts I want.
SE, make some af3 or whatever REALLY worth getting.
