This is by far the best Adaman piece out of the entire set. For all three jobs, this has the best stats for TP gain and WS since there's no form of haste body meant for the body, and even then, the body offers the best stats in damage that's worth overlooking the others. For head, there's Walahra turban and O.hat, Dusk gloves/ledelsens for hands and feet, and B.Haidate for Legs. Of course when the mobs are hard to hit like Mamool ja Lurker and/or HNMs, switching out to the Adaman set is preferred, but for exp/merit and missions, haste gear all the way.
Aight, I hear so much bashing of the rest of the Adaman set, an I'm gunna bust out my opinion wether it matters or not.
Adaman Celata... this is probably the most overlooked head peice in the game... So many people say Optical Hat is better... well by the time you can wear this ****, if you still need +10 accuracy, you need to quit playing this game.
Some people will say go with Wyvern Helm instead of Celata... well there's one thing about that. Attack > STR anyday when it comes to regular attacking. Sure, macro in all the STR/INT gear you can think of when you're doing a WS, but it aint gunna do you **** all when it comes to your regular attacks.
The Gloves; Not many people really talk bad about the gloves, so I got nothing to say.
The Legs; again, same as gloves.
Feet... now alotta people bad mouth this peice of gear too... now given there is better **** for WAR, DRK's don't hav emuch of an option here. What can we wear... AF? Thick? please.
Bad mouth the -MND all you want, but it dosn't realy matter with WAR/DRK/BST all that much... DRK it'll effect your cross reaper, but not all that much, because DRK already have ****** MND, so in theory, that WS aint to hot to begin with.
Now there is an alternative with DRK, and that's the Black set (JSE)... but now I dunno about other servers... but Lakshmi dont got alotta black ****... so either you gotta be in a great LS that takes down Ouryu on a common basis... or you gotta have 20+ million gil to throw away.
Body... well the body is amazing... no one argues that, an if they do... they're smoking crack.
Head - O hat is WAY better,and yes you still need all the Acc you can get at 75 when you do gods/HNMs
Gloves - For a War, Relic gloves are way better. And for Drk Relic gloves are also better, however, so is the Black JSE and thats not 20 mil, its like 1 mil a piece.
Legs - For War, B. Haidate or Relic legs are way better, the negative stats suck. And for Drk, again, Theres the Black JSE
Boots - For both War and Drk, Amir Boots (+6 acc, +5 atk) are way better. And yet again for Drk, Black JSE
Hey man, i dont want to make you feel dumb or something, but look at when the guy posted the post. The Drk JSE wasn't out yet. And their wasn't any Amir either. Sorry.
You have to keep in the mind when he posted that: Feb 2006 before Aht Urghan came out. Prices were also highly inflated then.
But keeping up with current updates, all of the Adaman gear pretty much sucks except body which is the hardest to get. For DRK this piece is awesome because now 3/4 of your STR and DEX get converted as ATK and ACC . For example 4 DEX = 3 ACC
In regards to your "If you still need +10 accuracy by the time you can wear this, you need to stop playing the game." comment, you are an idiot.
The only thing that makes Celata even CLOSE to worth wearing, is it's 5 accuracy combined with 8 attack. If it had less attack, or just STR, Optical hat would still win.
Also, for DRK, MND is a Guillotine damage modifier. And it's a worthy one, because when you can add a decent amount, it will have nearly the same effect as adding STR (Talking in terms of diminished returns) so it would be slightly beneficial to not wear thick nor adaman feet.

Posted:May 13 2006 at 6:27 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Did you forget how to read? I said macro in all your STR/INT/VIT/W/e the **** else modifiers you have for WS's.
Can i get some instructions on getting this Adaman thing...? Please i mean holy shlt how the hell do you get this thing You must be a total god to get this.
Earthen Abjuration: Body drops off Nidhogg... not Kirin.
If you want this, you better have a damn good bot because hes botted on many servers. Hes a pushover if you know how to fight him, if not, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.
this is one of the best pieces of the set theboots suck for Drk by a long shot, the MND- is hurtful, this piece is gotta give mt Kabuto offtoo, good piece
hands are way better than thick, i just but Cursed Mufflers -1, which when uncursed will give me +5 acc and +11 attack, its the attack thats worth it, as for casting magic, macro them out ::shrug::
This Armor is realy great. It looks very nice and has all the Status u need. BUT the other Parts are IMO not realy good. Only the Legs are okay, because the +6 acc. (thick 2acc)
For the Adaman Head i would much prefer the optical head, for Hand and Feet you can take Thick, because the acc diffrence is not that much and you dont get the -10INT and the -10MND.
i really want to no how to get this whole armor set! can someone please email me the detail about this armor? PLEASE EMAIL ME AT michaelyang3@bellsouth.com!!!
omg.../em drops over dead. thats beautiful!!!!!!! now i wanna be a DRK and try to get over 10k dmg to a tunnel worm ^^...means i gotta switch to ELV /cry
I got this beauty around a week ago from Nidhogg, won the lot with 50 to a lot of 10 lol.. It feels awesome to saw the " You obtained the earthen abj body " thing. anyway, just want to say this thing owns badly.
%*@^ this armor rocks good thing i need only 3 lvls till 100 in smithing and i can make it then ill be the king lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dude i m just guessing i dont know you or anythibf but i dout you have half of the things you say you have in there everything that can be a +1 is a +1 evena a hawkers knife +1 and that is uber expensive **** who even has winged boots +1 ifv never even seen them in jueno before anyway thats just what i think i could be wrong who knows
ha... nice farming character... funny how he has 2 bloodbead earrings... when u can only wear one... cuz its Rare, if that wasnt the case i wish all of us could wear dual assault earrings... what a scrub
This is the Armada Hauberk, not the Adaman Hauberk. Someone has taken the picture of the Armada Hauberk and pasted "Adaman" over Armada. Adaman gear is +VIT and +Emnity and is WAR/PLD only.
Then you MUST get a Earthen Abjuration: Body, which you can get from: Nidhogg or King Behemoth
-----------------------
I don't suggest you get this made till you have the Earthen Abjuration: Body because it is a RARE drop and if you don't get it, it would suck to waste all that gil...
Do you need to have a hauberk synthed, or will buying a cursed hauberk work? I personally dont want to take a chance with 2.6mil (when i am that level)
You can purchase the cursed items on the AH. Not too many have been placed on the AH just because people don't really do that. Most often you pay someone to craft it for you. But, yes, you can purchase the cursed Hauberk on the AH.
I'm curious, if it's rare/ex how do you get someone to craft it for you? Or am I just missing something painfully obvious? (Which is obviously the case.)
The end result of your labors may be RA/EX, but you don't get that from the crafted portion. You get the proper Abj. to drop off something, and get someone to craft the Cursed Hauberk for you, then turn both in to an NPC in the Cathederal in Sandy. That gets you the finished product, which is RA/EX.
So no, you don't need to get 90+ in a tradeskill to get your Abjuration gear.
I got this crafted and decursed like a week or 2 ago. Basically what most people do is get the abjuration, buy the items, and then find a high level crafter to make the cursed item for you. Usually the crafter charges a small fee for his services(100k, well maybe not so small).
In my case the crafter ended up breaking one of the ingots which is used to synth the adaman chain. He lost 2 ores costing me 200k. A ls mate of mine lost 900k when the crafter broke a synth on the hand piece of this set(adaman mufflers), but the worst is another ls mate of mine that lost a hauberk getting this synthed. (Imagine losing 3 mil on a synth someone else is doing for you). Good news is he ended up getting his gear synthed eventually.
3 Mil lost in a synth ><. I've seen worse on pics. not sure if they are accurate or not. http://hometown.aol.com/skewlsout/cloth.jpg Shining Cloth ~20mil in Diabolos, only 2 ever sold in AH.
