These are my current favorite gloves for soloing, they rock! The mage stat boosts are hard to get on gear worth meleeing in, for startes. The parry skill is quite nice when you consider that even if it doesn't happen often, a parried blow is like getting a free Utsusemi shadow for no MP and no casting time. Finally, dex+6 is slightly better than getting +3Acc. That's pretty hot when you put it all together on one piece, and totally makes this worth getting if you can. Very, very nice bargain at only 15 coins.
These gloves are obtained by trading the following items to Sagheera in Port Jeuno:
Rainbow Velvet is a skill-up synth item found on the AH and usually low cost. Ancient Beastcoins (ABC's) drop from mobs/chests in all Limbus zones. Cardinal Cloth drops from certain Apollyon based Limbus zones. Ruby Silk Thread drops from certain Temenos based Limbus zones.
