It's worse than Cheviot/Umbra. Why would you guys want it?
Because Cheviot/Umbra has job limitations.
Shadow Mantle isn't difficult to get
Mdk got acc3 dex2 subtle blow 1 last year, so they didn't raise stats on that earring it seems so far. Last week I personnally got 4/5 high stats on ACP earrings (2 eva 5, 1 dex2, one acc3, one attack4), so I have my hopes up for a dex2 acc3 and str2 att5 (as well as a second mac2 mnd2 ..w).
Which mission are you repeating to get the earrings and whats the lowest number it can be done with?
It's the Fei'yin ACP fight. Not sure exactly how many you need to lowman it
Fei'yin.
We do it with MNK/BLU + RDM/WHM; strategy is have the mnk "supertank" the mobs and kill at least the WHM, and try to kill RDM too, before wiping, with hundred fists and possibly chainspell. If you killed both RDM and WHM you most likely wont wipe ( its random, mob are superannoying...). Reraise and the remaining 2-3 are cake: RDM>WAR>THF ( WHM is annoying because it spams cure5..). I say "supertank" because the mobs will occasionally run to the RDM, but most of the dmg is done on the mnk. I believe you have time for 2 wipes if you don't buff at start, not sure.
Half of the time you don't even wipe.
Cool, thanks for the info. Is /blu going to be worth it for an Amano sam or do the gobs have considerable defense (Berserk makes a huge difference to kaiten damage depending on defense).

just got this from angel skin key for final moogle fight.
How much -bp delay before its useless? I have full smn af2 but use bahamut staff so do not have a -delay croizer. Also 3 chr is nice for my bst i never use
-15 is the cap for -BP, anything more than that won't have any effect.
if you go the supertank route you are better off /blu probably, although if you don't dual box a rdm can bind and gravity one while you kill the whm on SAM. /WAR is not needed anyway so if you got BLU8 go this route. If you wipe once you have 10min left so so you are easy on time.
also with diaIII I'm doing 207 crits .. so I a most likely am pdif cappe (that's with def food)
If that's you, you should really consult the gear thread. You could make quite a few very easy improvements.

Weskit Augment #31 = INT+5
Rune bow Augment #9 = MND+2 (for my rdm)
Rune bow Augment #20 = MAB+2
I'm very happy.
