I really like this. I got one just recently for my BLM at level 12 and I used it until level 15. If you combine this with a Linen Robe (I used a Linen Robe +1) what you get is better than the Royal Footman's Tunic because you get the Intelligence boost with a higher Defense bonus, though you do lose the +1 Agility. I like the extra Defense because against ITs, every little bit helps... Especially when you're a Taru BLM!
