  • What's better for RNG gloves?

    Okay I'm having hard time deciding which gloves to use for what. I'm down to three gloves for my RNG. Now, I have the cursed gauntlets for Crimsons but I'm going to need a lot of LS points for the kote. So, any suggestions since they're all beautiful and mad sexy!

    I guess it depends on what else you wear?

    Personally Id go Skadi's for WS and Seiryu's for TP.

    But then my RNG is 1 so maybe Im not all that qualified.

      i say Crimson for TPing becouse it have RATT+ aswell as RACC+ and Skadi's for WS

        You also have to keep in mind how hard Skadi's is to get.

        From what I understand, Crimson's for tping, not sure about WS from my poor mage mind!

          Well he said he already has the cursed gauntlets to attain the Crimson's... so it may not be so difficult for him at this point.

          But yeah, I think pretty much Crimson's for TP and Skadi's for WS since that have the STR.

            Every RNG Ive asked says Crimson for TP, Seiryu's for WS. The extra AGI and Racc is great for helping your WS land, especially when you're swapping out a lot of your Racc for STR.

              Toki pretty much nailed it.

              And Kirsteena's point is probably the most important...you can pick up a sky ls and probably have Crim Gauntlets within a couple of weeks, Seiryu's Kote within a couple of months depending on the line to get them.

              Full Salvage pieces take an extraordinary amount of time and work to get, as you not only need to be doing Salvage as often as possible, but also doing as much Assault as possible to get enough points to enter Salvage, then actually get the drops that you need, then make gil for the generally batshit expensive synth materials needed.

              When keeping it reasonable, Crim for TP and Kote for WS, if you can only get ahold of one go for Crim Gauntlets.

                Get both, they both drop from the same god

                Skadi's is another matter entirely, very hard to obtain.

                As others have said Crim for TP, Kote for WS, but just to add:

                I tend to favor Kote for most Xbow usage. This is because I have a build that favors MND rather than strength or accuracy to boost the output of my Holy Bolt damage. Its also because Orthenus Bow has no accuracy bonuses native to it.

                Also in the event you gain the attention of a dragon, you can end up getting intimidated by wearing the Crimson hands, which could put you in a bad spot or not at all, but its sometimes best not to take chances. So against dragons, skew to kote there as well.

                Another thing you could look into (provided you have access to sea) is the Hunter's Bracer's +1 for thier enhancement to Barrage. Its the only piece in the game that will let you get one extra shot out of the job ability.

                  I'm already in an end-game ls, I just have to get enough ls points to obtain the abj for the crimsons and enough points for the kote. So until then, I'm stuck using my Hume M RSE gloves. =/. Thanks for the help guys.

                    Personally like most have said

                    Tp -> Crimson
                    Ws -> Kote until you get Skadi

                    Skadi is hard to get but if you get them ws in them all the way, Imo.

                    Hmm even in Mnd set up I would lean towards Crimson, tho not knowing your set up would be hard to compare what is your Holy bolt set up?

                    Wrong!!! Crimson gear turns your classification to a Dragon bbq. You can be intimidated by Dragoon Types as well as Demon types. If you are fighting a dragon no penalty will occur. Also with crimson you have the chance to intimated Demons. I would steer clear of crimson finger gauntlets in Dynamis-Xarcbard, too many chances to be intimidated then to intimidate.

                      I think its possible that Seiryu, being a god, would have Dragon Killer himself. Because he's intimidated me while I've worn Crimson.

                      Hmm even in Mnd set up I would lean towards Crimson, tho not knowing your set up would be hard to compare what is your Holy bolt set up?
                      Right now I'm just using Hunter's Bracce and Suzaku's Sune-Ates. I'd usually have Dusk Trousers on in the place of Bracce otherwise. I'm still in the process of tweaking things.

                            Skadi really isn't that good for most RNGs (it's better for a KC RNG or a Joyuese COR). Put rather simply, which would you rather have?

                            AF body (RACC+10)
                            or
                            Blue Cotehardie+1 (STR+5 AGI+5)

                            That is exactly the comparison between CFG and Skadi. You can't really even compare Skadi to Kote.

                            Centurio X-I 1/1 - Celphie 1/1 - Deadly Dodo 0/2 - Doppleganger Dio 0/1 - Jaggedy-eared Jack 0/7 - Joo Duzu the Whirlwind 1/1 - Leaping Lizzy 2/16 - Mimas 0/1 - Odqan 1/9 - Orcish Wallbreacher 0/1 - Ose 1/3 - Sagittarius X-XIII 1/1 - Serpopard Ishtar 3/6 - Silk Caterpillar 1/2 - Tom Tit Tat 0/2 - Trickster Kinetix 0/2 - Valkurm Emperor 6/10 - Wyvernpoacher Drachlox 1/1

                              cfg for both tp and ws.

                              rng atk will do more for your dmg than agi will ever do.

                              i really dont understand why ppl keep looking to the modifiers as if they're the single most important thing for ws....
