Nanban Kariginu hidden

[darktroll]

Has anyone else tried to test out the Acc or eva bonus that SE stated came from eating Pamamas while wearing this?

Just took it out on my level 40 NIN to see what the acc bonus was.

Checking a T worker Crawler in Yhoator Jungle, with 120 Katana skill it took 10 Acc (2 rings) and 6 Dex (didn't feel like muling for more low level acc gear) to reach low evasion with and without the Nanban Kariginu and a pamama. Seems like the effect is either completely hiden (doesn't effect /check) or they were full of crap/left something out.

Or maybe there is no hidden trait?

Where did SE say this exactly?

At the fanfest where they announced a bunch of random ass hidden effects. Like Matron's Knife allowing the consumption of raw meat and fish, Avengers increasing accuracy the lower your HP goes, etc

Is there a link to a list of such things? My curiosity has been piqued.

[Tekki]

I dont think there is a link, but I can confirm it. Past what Rocl stated, I think the only other thing was them saying if you were the Xth player to use the taru that removes your food in Jeuno, you got a haste effect instead and a different title.

Should be in Elmer's report in the WotG section.

Either I was more tired than I thought last night or someone moved this from FFXI: Newbie Player Advice. 8)

It's also has slight mention in the "FFXI Fan Festival Report and Pictures!" thread :http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/viewt...riginu#p803908

One thing to note is that the translator was aparently behind at the time this was said, so possibly a misstranslation or left something out

Also, tried eating multiple pamamas at the same time with Nanban Kariginu to see that might do it, but as expected that was not possible.

Gonna have to see if it is triggered by eating a certain number of pamamas over time.

Other possibility I'm gonna try tonight is using Wild Pamamas instead

I have seen absurd postings of people saying it is something like +25 accuracy and evasion at level 75 and that is just ridiculous. I saw a post on lolAlla about it and some dude used it (@75) and it made a VT fly drop from high evade to an even check. He then placed on a Snipers ring and Dex +5 and it then checked the same amount. From that, it sort of looks like ~7.5 accuracy which I could believe and would make it a great level 30 piece because there is nothing that will give you that much accuracy at level 30ish, but it also prevents you from eating meat or sushi as well... Though eating sushi before level 50 or so is kind of it's own can of worms.

Thats the post that got me interested in testing Ashky but I think you miss read it:

I didn't get a chance to test the evasion, but to test the acc was easy. Went up to b. tree to work on unlock senj. and the darters there conned VT high evasion w/ katana and no additional dex/acc gear. took 1 sniper ring and 5 dex to move them down to flat VT. Equipped Nanban and ate a pamama. It still took 1 sniper ring and 5 dex to drop the darter from VT high evasion to flat VT.

So far I have not seen (other than the insane "I heard it gives 1acc/3levels" claims) anyone test it and find an accuracy bonus. I'd like to believe that a Dev didn't out right lie to us, so I'm assuming there is some sort of additional trigger.

[Ashky]

Indeed, I did miss read it. So basically, it didn't do anything for him. GG SE.

there's no chance it could be a racc improvement rather than acc?

either way it seems silly that a piece of armor would be ungodly for 45 levels (aside from CoP rings maybe) and anything else I can't think of atm

How is it ungodly if it forces you to eat Pamamas to use it?

If the 1 evasion per 3 levels was true, which I doubt it is, it would be pretty spectacular for evasion setups. I can't think of a better body/food evasion combination. +25 evasion @ 75.

[Maxxthepenguin]

Since when did people care about evasion? Admittedly I've been interested to see what a modern evasion (and VIT/Def for that matter) setup can do but, in general, nobody really cares about it.

[darktroll]

I think at this point given the how the info was delivered there is as good a chance of this as anything.

Think the next step I'll take is to try and see if there is at least a noticable evasion bonus.

even if the bonus is only a more resonable +1 per 10 levels or a flat +X to both stats, it could still be a pretty useful peice till the late 50's. If there really is a +1 per 3 levels I could understand it being hard to unlock (or at least discover) and it would seem a bit broken at 75 if you were looking for a pure evasion build.

[Maxxthepenguin]

How is 3 more eva than the next highest combo (SH+1/Usukane + Jack O Lantern) broken at all?

[darktroll]

maybe not broken, but considering you can pick one up (on pandy at least) for under 25K, and the nm that drops it is easily soloable @ 75, its a tad cheaper/easier to get than the SH+1 option for more evasion (if its true).

personally I can't see using it much past 57-59 but with a level 40 Nin, thats not something I've put a hell of alot of thought into yet.

hah, now that cursed knife has a use.

[Kaliden]

Avengers increasing accuracy the lower your HP goes

That is.......awesome.

Does consuming raw fish or meat have something good to it? And it makes sense for avengers to do something at low hp if you thing about it lol >_>
