Scorpion Harness is just not worth making anymore.
@Demon, I've made 60 Scorpion Harness +1s and never threw away an NQ.
@Guffy, you're only T1 for the synth, meaning you're roughly 10% chance to HQ. If you are 31 levels above the caps, you could increase your HQ rate to 25-33%
Hey Guffy, Because of the crafting skill required for this piece, you could increase your chances of HQ dramatically by adding 6 lvls to your leathercrafting and 7 lvls to your bone crafting. That might sound impossible, but there is a way...
On FFXI wikia, it lists leather craft sub (33) and I think that's more accurate because HQ tier 2 is supposedly 31-50~ and with the tanner gloves + advanced leather support, you should hit 31 over the required leather sub making it a 25%~ hq rate.
This piece is truly great in most situations, however something to be aware of is the -20 ice resist. If you are fighting a mob (or player) that has ice spikes on, you will get paralyzed far more often than with other options. You may want to swap to your artifact armor for those situations, unless you have someone around to paralyna you.
@ Rikirocket who said "Mirke wardecors
[Body] All Races
DEF: 42 HP +10 MP +10 STR +5 DEX +5
AGI +5
and +2 aug of your choice
(+10acc +10evi)
ACP has out dated this gear for some if not a lot of people"
Keep in mind, Scorpion harness is level 57, while the Mirke Wardecors is 75. That's 18 levels wherein a Scorpion harness is still one of the better pieces of body armor for certain jobs (THF, DRG, BLU, DNC, NIN etc)
