WAR, DRK, SAM, BST especially, don't hit 59 without one of these. You will use this until end game. There are few pieces that will get you better results than this. Lately alot of PLD's have been focusing on DD style as well, so this is a great option.
One of the best armors that you can have at level 59 for the selected jobs. You will regret it if you do not purchase one of these. My advice, farm until there is no tomorrow! No one has EVER regretted it. ^^
There's little anyone can do to drop the price on these things unless the ingredients fall more. The synthers already make a massive loss, these are already MUCH cheaper than they were last year. Worth the buy right now.
@ Rikirocket: Why would I make the ACP body into a !Haubergeon when Hauby already exists? I can use Hauby on PLD, SAM, and BST. Nuevo can't be used on all three of those, nor can Mirke Wardecors. I'd rather do something different, say pet buffs, and keep using Hauby because it's already there.
There's no excuse why any of the DD jobs that can wear this shouldn't have it now that the price has dropped so violently. Even before the price drop this piece is a must have.
If your a WAR/DRK/BST doing end game then I would rather swap this out for the Hauberk, since it doesn't lower evasion as much and doesn't lower AGI, keeping some of those crit hits off of you. Otherwise yeah, few body pieces can stand up to this one for the other jobs at this lv. until you get to the 70+ pieces.
