Got these yesterday. We went 2/6 on the gloves and 3/6 on the hat. I would speculate that the gloves are ~25% drop and the Dagger is about 5% from what I have gathered from people who have killed him a whole lot along with our results. We started 0/4 on the gloves then went 2/2 on the last 2 kills where myself and the other main NIN in my HNM LS got them.
I know that if you boost a certain element you become more resistent to that element. They dont help you attack but seeing a nin/drk with tons of Fire Gear on take a Firaga III from Tiiamat for 55 dmg is all the proof i need. Its all defense based.

The NM is an undead type mob. Which means he is weaker to Light elements (Aero, Fire, Thunder, Light), and stronger to Dark elements (Stone, Water, Ice, Dark). These would seem to relate to you gaining some of his natural resistances/weakness.
well... i think what Shanock was getting at is that these kotes may strengthen darkness skillchains. can anyone confirm this theory? it seems logical but... i still would like a second opinion or possibly some proof behind this.
elemental resistance on equipment such as these are defensive only imo. You'll either take more or less damage vs some elemental nukes on u, or resist more or less certain elemental based enfeeblings. Example more darkness resistance wil make u resist sleep more. But i dont think there's any proof so far as to whether elemental resistance on armor is offensive.
actually, arliss doesnt know what he is talking about. lv 70+ is when you start getting less accuracy gear and more str oriented gear. 90% of mobs you fight lv 73+ con VT.
Optical hat and Haub give more then enough accuracy then you will ever need. +10 accuracy gloves, are crap.
You would only ever use it mabe on Gods, but even then most sam either sub rng and spam sidewinder or keep doing Spirits within, which cannot miss anyway.
(I highlighted the parts of the post about the "new Kote" that I wanted in the update.)
I made that post before the update even happened...I asked for an item that's amazingly similar to this item. This isn't even in the suggestion forum! It's in the MNK forum!

Posted:Jan 11 2005 at 3:06 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Accuracy caps at +40, so if you can get those kote, you probably already have 40+acc, so it's best to go w/ the Attack/STR stats next, and if your are a mnk/sam, these are probably the most kickass things you could get.

SE officially posted this and if I find it again soon, I'll post the link. 2STR = 1Attack and once again, STR raises the cap on Attack... VIT/Def works the same way. This should prove pretty useful. -_o

lol lvl75: opt hat, peacock/specs, scorp harness/haub, life belt, sushi. . . . how much acc do u need to hit the mainly T-VT xp mobs ? And for GODs/HNM, with those guys u'll rather have a problem doing dmg then hitting, unless you do Spirits within and i have yet to see that one miss. So in endgame area, ppl go for str/att (DD) gear or eva/def/vit (tanks) gear if they got the choice. The rather little +acc you do need can easily be gotten from equip slots, that don't have much good alternatives.
No idea where to get it though, its rare so its probly a notorious monster drop, and theres no price history in AH and none in stock so i dont think anyone's killed the NM on siren o.O
if its in the auction house history, that means someone has them.
He was actually refering to the Horoshuma Kote, as you can see if you scroll down a bit. It's gotten from an NM in one of the revine sites, I believe, dropped off a griffon. Just FYI I guess. ^^;
look at hands section... lvl34 in AH... a week or so i sent an update (obviously never posted) of Horomusha Kote, lvl 34, Attack +15. i think sacrificing the 5 attack for no evasion knockoff is worth it for ninja (especially) or any other job that takes hits.
