Path A appears to cap out at Attack +15, Accuracy +10, and Store TP+3. not quite the Adaberk killer I was hoping for (damn it SE, jobs other than SAM need sTP!) but it will certainly do for now.
Not dissing the piece but the base stats on it are pretty disappointing for a 119 armor. I mean if you look at the 117/easy-to-get Gorney Haubert +1 this piece has 8 less STR and VIT, 9 less DEX and 7 less AGI, INT, MND and CHR. It's kind of a big difference and the only stat you can boost via mezzotinting is VIT apparently. Just wishing for a little more consistency from SE.
Adaberk was dead a long time ago when drk stopped being useful. This is however an interesting piece with different possibilities. Looks cool too. At least they didnt make a new kind of airlixer or plasm to get.
