well last night i finaly HQ'ed me a pair of these i think i'm 1/3(4) but it was a great night indeed finaly capped cloth at 60 with one last silk cloth and got my .2 skill-up. noticed it was firesday 10% new moon and decided that i'd try. and poof! i'm not on my way to not being poor.
When i got bored and leveled my WHM mule to 20, i realized that the kingdom tunic wouldnt be enough anymore, so i went and bought Barons stuff. I didnt buy all of course because of the simple fact that, well, some of the other parts suck butt. Here's what i used till i got seers +1: Head: Silver Hairpin Neck: (can't remember) Body: Baron Back: Mist Silk Cape Hand: Baron (at Lvl 26 I used the Mycophile cuffs from time to time if we had a weak Tank, no secondary Tank, was the only mage, or had to spam cure because of crappy gear. Don't know if that helped any, lol, but the -2 enmity gave me warm and fuzzy feelings inside) Waist: Friar's Rope Legs: Baron Feet: Mages Sandals Main: (can't remember, but it had +4 to INT and MND i think) Range: Nothing Ammo: That egg from holiday mog quest. Can't afford a Morion Tathlum. Ring: Saintly rings x2 Earring: Energy earrings Sub: can't remember
Seems when i get bored again and level blm for sub job, I will have to buy the mages tunic (not sure if that's it) because the Baron gear IS NOT blm friendly, meaning, stat wise the tunic is better for blm.
The Regular versions of these suck, no point to buy em, their terribly crappy! but some +1 versions are ALMOST worth it... these may be "nice" or "Cool" looking, but really, does +1mp while healing signify 200k+????? or even +3MP signify 100K+? no! its new, prices suck >_> save your money and wait, it will drop like NOCT gear did when people realized its defense was lvl 20 >_>
this item is purely a status symbol. the stats on these aren't bad, but they're not the best. mage's sandals or sandorian clogs are better if i'm not mistaken, and a LOT cheaper. i'm hoping the new-ness of these items wear off so ppl realize they're not that great (well, the feet atleast).
The Mage's Sandals are cheaper and better, as they yield a +1 AGI bonus that these do not have. The San d'Orian Clogs have even better stats but require you to be level 25 to equip them.
Garrison Boot are better. http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?fitem=4875 MND & INT are grat for WHM/BLM combo. My GF uses them and it really helps.
I went and leveled Whm this weekend. Because I -hate- how the Priest's Robe looks, I went with the Baron's Ensemble....minus the hat (+1 Enmity = Bad for Whm).
