I've done this 3 times right now, and the NIN in our perma's havin' internet problems ><; But anyways... got this on the first one we did (even sent in the pic), and the other two already had it, so it was mine. I heard the Desamillion Earring (INT+2, MP+15) is pretty rare... buddy of mine only seen it on 1 person on Kujata.
crappy drop rate

don't feel to bad if your race can't equip this...after about 10 kills we still have no drop...

we've been going in with rdm nin and rng only and demolishing this enm..

atleast the 2k xp makes it worthwhile.

AGI

AGI helps more towards Parrying than Evasion.
I dont know if AGI helps with Trick Attack. Can you go into more details on the AGI helping Trick Attack? THF SJ does not have to be loaded with DEX / AGI it has not effect on it much as it would if THF was main.

I dont AGI makes much differnce in TA. im a lvl 55 thf (66 rng main) on alexander and ive recently changed my SATA macroes around a bit.
i have a macro that i hit b4 SATA that gives me my grace rings and noct brais+1 and ive recently added eris' earrings for the enimity+4.
the only difference ive noticed in SATA was wayyy more damage from the +10 DEX. but, i was also losing +7 AGI from replace my genin and drone with the eris earrings.

from this, id say AGI doesnt really play a major role in SATA, id say its more DEX.

Also Evade+ stuff will help with your SATA

I would think the AGI will be a bigger factor post 60 when you get Assassin as you'll use TA by itself.

Pre-assassin you'll get much more damage by stacking up the DEX for SA.
Well...

You might be right about the Drone Earring...

But hey, some people like to tack on DEX, some people like to tack on DEX. I personally like to tack on DEX. My DEX total is like, +28 when I'm finished with Sushi. My AGI only reaches a whopping +17. This is different from my solo gear/Assassin gear, but my normal melee gear is all DEX.

It's all about the way you play. Too bad I'm Hume, or I'd get this earring...

or you could just use a Drone Earring for AGI+3 to help more with the TA part of sata. DEX+2 AGI+1, AGI+3, same sum really
You're right

Ya, you're right, I don't know what I was thinking, dex and agi doesn't apply to thief subjobs. It's been well over a year that I've been thief main and sometimes I just don't think about these things. Of course though, the dex should help with criticals and agi should help with evasion and ranged accuracy, not much, but a little. Still a very nice earring considering stuff like this isn't available for my mithra until mid 70's.
sata modifier

Unfortunately +DEX and +AGI modifier dont apply on SATA with THF sub ^^.
Still a good piece of equip for us ELvaan.

Im pretty sure that dex/agi dosent affect a thf sub sata =/ It will only count as a normal crit and ta will transfer the hate...thats it
works for /thf?

does DEX + AGI modifier still apply to a thief sub?

Im a hume, so Im rather upset that I cannot clip this on...however It seems that only an elvaan main Thief's sata would be affected, not their subjob...which kinda sucks for all those pimp elvaan DRK/THF's.
Didn't pick a Mithra? here ya go!
# Aug 05 2005 at 6:53 AM Rating: Decent
(Elvaan)(Thief)? >>> (That's too bad!)

(Melnina's Earring) >>> (You can have this)

Perfect for those people that have too much time invested into their character only to realize that thief job is really where it's at and need a little helping hand with some extra dex and agi. Lucky (******* Sword)s! Wish us mithra thiefs could get this...o well.
