Final Magian/Empyreon Armor.

[SargentRemora]

Just finished Caller's Doublet +1, basic testing on Raptors outside of Jeuno with both Meteor Strike and Heavenly Strike (0 TP merits and 0 TP when nuking, 5/5 MAB merits): damage went from 1064 to 1117, so a 5% increase.

[Malacite]

So the +2 is probably 10% tops then.

Still, I'm pretty sure this means I can re-do my Redignote now for a diff job.

Savant's gown +1 doesnt seem to give extra spells, nor does it reduce mp cost.
42 second recast on rr2 with or without gown.

i'm stumped

Edit: no cure potency either.
Edit Edit: no extra +skill either
Edit Edit Edit: potentially reduced cast time, difficult to eyeball, and i'm not gonna bother with fraps for such a small effect.

[Salmijr]

Did you keep the gown on from before you activated light arts (aka fulltimed)?

Have you tried the gown without using Addendum? Maybe it allows to cast those spells without using a charge. Also try subbing a melee class and check spell list again in case you haven't tried that already.

So your theory is that it ennhances addendum without actually having the addendum active?

At any rate, gown doesn't allow you to addendum without using a charge, it doesnt allow you cast /rdm spells (bind gravity refresh) without being /rdm (with or without addendum active)

redid all test as /mnk5

edit aero1 vs bees right outside bastok gave 117 damage wether i had no arts, just dark arts, and addendum black. so its not some form of MAB.

Well it was just an idea lol. It doesn't seem to do anything at all. Maybe it's a typo like THF hands?
Try out Manifestation/Accession with it? I don't know ><

Edit: Another crazy idea but I guess it's worth a try. What level are your WHM and BLM?
Maybe it does unlock spells but you need to learn them first? So far all our Empyrean increases those Stratagems like you'd expect, it's weird that this one doesn't.

It could give -enmity +macc or something else near-useless. Or it could be a a small % chance to have some effect.

Lol, wrong guy :X Mine has an "L".
Anyway kinda disappointed by the tests so far. I guess I was expecting too much from this body piece.

Thats the text for Savant's Gown+1 according to FFXIAH. Google translate mentions WHITE (白), but not black...

I don't suppose anyone has gotten a hold of the THF+1 body and could test what the "Augments Conspirator" does.

I have it, but I havent really tested it. I can tell you from having just used it, +1 doesnt enhance duration.

[Scrooge]

This tells us that, at least, it's not like a Double Attack trait which would overwrite the multi-hit property. Most likely it actually gives a 3rd attack with the offhand weapon, and my hypothesis would be that if I tested enough, I would see an attack round with 4 club strikes eventually. One other thing to note, I never observed two strikes with my mainhand weapon, so I think the 3rd attack must be offhand only.

I've been unable to replicate your results.

Test #1: Proc rate
Nin/Whm, Regular dmg katana, Xiphos offhand, 5/5 Iga +2, no other gear, no buffs, no food, hitting Fortification.

In 120 attack rounds, I saw 14 procs on offhand only. To be more specific, broken into sets of 20, I got: 3/20, 2/20, 2/20, 2/20, 0/20, 5/20. Seems like it's a 10% proc rate with the full set.
-

Test #2: Determining whether it counts as an extra swing or a Double Attack
Nin/War, Regular dmg katana, Ihintanto (1 dmg, 999 delay) offhand, 4/5 Iga +2 set (sans hands), 10 extra DA gear (Twilight, Athling, Brutal). Boxed Cor constantly rerolling Fighter's Roll. No other gear, buffs, or food. Again hitting a Fortification.

The idea was to jack up my DA rate (between sub and gear I had at least 20 + random value of Fighter's Roll), hoping to see 3 or 4 swings of the offhand in a row. Used a regular dmg katana + a 1 dmg one to clearly capture it in log. The extreme delay was to ensure there was no ambiguity in attack rounds.

Logged just under 100 mins of Fortification beatdown across two sessions. NEVER saw a triple or quadruple swing from my offhand. Not once.
-

Test #3 Attempt to replicate the OAT swings
Nin/Whm Mainhanding Xiphos, offhanding OAT Enchu, 5/5 Iga +2, no other gear. Just two weapons, and the 5 piece set. No food, no buffs, no nothing.

In 1 hour of smacking a Fortification, I still haven't seen a single instance of more than two swings on my offhand.
-

As of now, it appears to me the full Ninja Iga +2 set bonus is 10% DA to offhand.

Google translate of JP wiki mentions white and black, has no info re: effects though. And besides I tested in both addendum white and addendum black

Sounds like solid testing, but there's a good chance it works like other OAT and the bonus is a separate term in calculation for a second attack. For example if you had 10% Set Bonus, 20% Double Attack, you'd see 10% + (1-10%)*20% = 28% chance to attack twice, instead of an additive 30%.
