Why would you go through the trouble of fighting Wulgaru for Hissho Hachimaki when you could just get an Optical Hat, which is easier to get and can be used on every single job?

8 attack i suppose, thats the main thing about it,

Why would you go through the trouble of fighting King Arthro for Velocious Belt when you could just get a Swift Belt, which is easier to get and can be used on every single job?

Edited to make a point.

Depending on your ZNMLS (Because I know none of you are getting Wulgaru done through shout groups), I wouldn't bother spending points on something as stupid as that Hachimaki. Comparing 8 attack to 2% Haste is a pretty big difference, too, not to mention Velocious belt isn't only wearable by 3 friggin jobs in the game. =P

[pathwriter]

Right, but my overall point was that it's a question of someone trying to get the best option available. And, seriously, a ZNM LS that docks you points for Tier II mobs? That's some bullshit right there.

Heh, my ZNMLS doesn't use a point system, everyone makes their own Zeni, and then they get to choose one item from the pool on their trig (Everything else goes freelot). I dunno how other LSs do it.

Anyway, I see what you're saying, though. I suppose I shouldn't be one to talk since I'm obsessed with getting hilarious shitty items nobody has (Spelunker's Hat, Reacton Arm, etc). =P

I got NIN question of my own. I recently got NIN mule and was wondering if it's possible to kite KV with 280Eva skill, eva+ gear and no speed movement+.

Thanks in advance.

[Hyriu]

yes.

any job /NIN can kite KV.

they dont have 30 defence >.>;

Darksteel Harness +1 will mitigate more physical damage than a Kaiser Cuirass.

I'd be inclined to use Usukane Hizayoroi for Blade: Jin, but I've not yet leveled Ninja high enough to question the value of Attack versus a huge chunk of DEX for that weaponskill. I couldn't speak to Shura Haidate on that subject.

On paper, the two are virtually even.

In practice, Haidate generally win because capping Acc is most important and most of the time you need the extra Acc that the DEX on Haidate provide.
