One thing folks might be missing is that you can redo your original AF quests, so if losing the ability to use this in 60 cap is a problem, that problem can be solved (or if you are worried about the CHR loss...?!).
It's nice to be able to get rid of errant body, since the main reason for RDM to carry it is the HMP. That's because losing the +10 int on errant body isn't critical - there are other acceptable options for what you wear on your body when nuking (relic to pop nukes off faster, JSE/nashira for skill/macc, AF if you might get hit mid-cast, etc).
So if the +20mp and nice white border aren't enough, perhaps the chance to free up an inventory slot makes this worthwhile. If none of that excites you, there are better uses for your coins.
*If coins are hard to come by, consider saving for Loquacious Earring before doing anything else.
I just got sea access and started doing Limbus recently. Like was menitioned earlier, you lose your regular AF which I understand, but can you carry AF+1 and regular AF at the same time?
Hey i was just wondering, wots the deal with this whole AF gear +1? Can u upgrade urs or sumthin? If anyone has any info on wot this is all about plz let me know.
Lose: CHR+5. Lev 58 gear to 74. Gain: +20 MP, +2% Spell interrupt, +5 MP/while healing.
Doesn't seem too bad of a trade off to me (at this time). I'm not sure how hard it is to upgrade, but I KNOW I don't have the ablilty to get this done anytime soon.
At 74, when you can use this, you will likely be using an Errant Houppelande to nuke with. Since you are bringing your Houppelande to the party anyway, the +5 MP recovered while healing doesn't really matter. There's not much there to make me drool over this.
