One of the best hands you can use for MNK SAM & NIN at this level and much later. As for SAMs using rice with AF gloves instead of these, since you're sacrificing food, AF gloves are completely worthless.
Absolutely monumental for MNK/SAM/NIN. Do *NOT* however, use these on WS for Samurai after you get Yukikaze, as Yuki/Gekko/Kasha all get a pDIF bonus as of the 2 handed weapon update, and the first hit of almost all WSs is also given an enormous accuracy bonus, therefore the gigas line of bracelets is really your best option.
They still rock for TPing until you get Dusk/hachiman or hachiman/fumas for a 6-hit w/haste, though.
Dubont these gloves are better than AF gloves for SAM, when i have equiped o kote i can use meat mithabob (its gives u +22% to atk)... with af gloves i can use only rice balls who gives u +50atk (only with af gloves). Mithabob dont stack with rice balls :)
Ragni, It'd only cap @350 attack. Meat Mithkabobs max out at +60 bonus.
However, to everyone who can't afford these, if they want to use rice balls it's a good choice ONLY if they use Roshi Jinpachi as well. (+100 ATK with both hands and the head) It's a cheap alternative for people who can't afford much. Of couse it won't give you the best bonuses but it's available.
Freakin' expensive as hell but totally worth it more if you camp the NM and get the RA/EX drop. Save your money. It's such a great feeling when they finally drop. 1/5 on them.
