It's nice to swap in for the WS, but Blessed Mitts is much stronger for almost everything else with its +7 MND and 5% haste, which is much more desirable. For its cost, this is a very expensive piece of gear.
This doesn't cost barely anything, Benedict Yarn is free, Benedict Silk is free, Ancient Beastcoins are free (besides limbus fees) and the ether leather needed for it costs only 70k
If Blessed Mitts are so much better why would you sell them. I prefer R/Ex "junk" so my mog house is not cluttered with non-R/Ex junk i keep meaning to sell.
Actually, blessed mits haste + is not really that good. I have used full blessed set with walahra turban...Cure 3 recast time 4 seconds, I cast haste on my self, recast is 3 seconds. But with that gear on my cure 3 does 190-200 depending on weather conditions and the day. (Taru whms know what I am talking about) The reason this is BETTER then the blessed is the healing skill + AND the mnd plus. As a tarutaru I have the luxury of not stacking hp- mp+ **** on. So I see the difference that mnd and healing skill gives. With these gloves on my cure 3 will do 230-250 depending on the weather conditions and the day. (For those who dont know dark weather kills cure potency, so does dark day) 190-200 vs 230-250 cure 5 close to 900. Only thing i ever need to divine seal anymore is divine viel stuff.
Haste + is very good, just not for whms. (Except lolmelewhms) Bottom line, these are better than the blessed mitts for curing purposes.
First thing you will need is access to Sea (CoP Chapter 8)
Then you will need a Rare/Ex drop from both Temenos and Apollyon a.k.a Limbus areas.
Once you have the Benedict Yarn and Benedict Silk You trade those to the CoP NPC inPort Jeuno along with a 3rd craftable material available at the AH, the appropriate piece of AF1, and a set amount of Ancient Beastcoins which also drop in Limbus.
Once all of the necessary items are turned in you must wait until the next conquest tally to pick up the AF1+1 item.
Best WHM gloves EVAR! Hexa Strike has STR and MND mods, the MND and Healing magic skill boost Cure V a bunch, and MP+15 Enmity-4 is always nice. First thing I'll be working on when I get access to sea and Limbus will be getting these babies.
Considering they give Hexa Strike as STR_?? you would consider that a valid source XD... to bad it's wrong, it's STR and MND. STR 20% and MND 20% what is powerful when you consider it's a 6 hit attack =P.
