Civet Sachet  

I really don't see what's wrong with this item.

Many jobs have nothing, or next-to-nothing to wear in the Ammo slot until way later in levels, when you get things like Bomb Cores, and such. DEX+1 and AGI+1, while very small bonuses, are better than nothing at all. Many jobs have nothing to wear in the Ranged slots, such as Dragoons, Monks, and other jobs.

DEX, while a small bonus, does help accuracy. .5 ACC for a One-Handed weapon, or .8 ACC for a Two-handed weapon.

AGI, while a small bonus, does help evasion.

I can assure you that -anyone- could benefit from this item, regardless of job, unless there is a better item instead.

For MNK and DRG, there is next to nothing else to wear in this slot, except what, Pebbles? How often does a MNK or a DRG actually get asked to pull?

For Mages, the only other thing is a Morion Tathlum, but not everyone has one of those. If you don't have a Morion Tathlum, this isn't bad either. AGI+1 is better than absolutely nothing.

For WARs, SAMs, NINs, DRKs, etc who *can* equip a Ranged Weapon, if you are not the puller, then there is little other reason to not equip this, unless you intend to use Acid Bolts (which NIN cannot do). I don't know too many NINs who tank and pull (pulling always brings with it, the danger of losing shadows on the pull), so it is likely you will be pulling as NIN. Other than trying for a few extra TP while throwing a chakram, I see nothing else a NIN would want from her ranged slot at Lv30. AGI+1 would help her EVA, and DEX+1 would give .5 ACC. Both of which a NIN needs. For SAMs, unless you are the puller, or seriously trying to squeeze out extra TP from ranged attacks, there is absolutely no reason to not wear this. .8 ACC helps.

So, in the end, the only jobs I can see who DON'T want to wear this:

RNG: They are constantly using ranged attacks and cannot afford to give up their ranged slot for this. Attempting to macro this in is still useless, as it wipes their TP.

PUP: The Animator goes in the same slot.

Puller: Obviously, if you are pulling, you are using a Ranged Weapon.

WAR/THF/DRK: If you have Acid Bolts, you are probably using those instead of this. If you do not have Acid Bolts, and are not the puller, use this instead. DRKs could even pull with Poison if they wanted to, again, the .8 ACC thing.

Mages: If you don't have a Morion Tathlum, use it. If you have a Morion Tathlum, use that instead.

Otherwise, if you have this, use it! I mean, what Else are you gonna put in that slot? Pebbles?

When I try to think of practical uses for this as a Mithra, the first jobs that come to mind are THF, NIN, and RNG.

THF: The only problem residing with this is that THF would be unable to pull and there are weapons u can put in throwing that give dex or agi as u level. So for THF this sucks.

NIN: Since NIN have A+ Throwing rank, most NIN's are inclined to use a Chakram or Dart to level this up. In sky, usualy a NIN or RNG will throw a God weakening item to help in god battles. Thus why NIN level throwing. So yea thsi isnt practical for a NIN.

RNG: Uh i shouldnt have to explain this. 1. Your losing ur main way dealing dmg u have. 2. Dex and Agi would serve best for ranged attack on xbow and critical rates... o wait u have no xbow to use wen using this. Yea this sucks.

Now other melee jobs i know of like SAM WAR DRK etc might make good use of it i guess. But only if they arent pulling or using status effecting bolts. Basicly the trouble u have to go thru to get this is kinda not worth it. I realy dont see any Mithras using this at all 30+ and I think these are reasons why.

Mithra realy got the shaft on these.

Anyone know which NM that this Sachet would be the easiest from? As in most frequest drops?

this would be very good for a mithra mnk

Got this last night. It's kinda cool, but not all that useful, as said already. Ran around looking for the ??? mark for 3 hours before one of the NMs droped it (was 1/3, all at the spawn by PLD flag area). Although as a mage I did find it useful in a skill up party. +1 DEX isn't all that bad, considering nothing else better for acc to put there. Although I'd have liked the Taru one more. +2 INT, for free. {Yes, please.}

that kinda sucks unless i am a drk lol but since i am thf its not helping me out lol maybe when i go to rdm that might be nice but doubtful to use rather use a bow more fun lol even though i wont use the bow to much mithra already have enough dex and agi lol give other races some. lol

is there also one of these for every race and if so does neone know what the stats are for the hume one causei cant seem to find it any where thanks

As a dragoon, I can look at this and drool for a eternity.
