Talk:Essential Ninja Equipment Guide by Dibble

Later levels:
Ok so im 65 NIN and thought id add a few things to this talk page, and you can add them to the main page if you find they help. I also like the idea of this being soley good gear to wear as opposed to everything you can wear.

Weapons: 40: AF weps, Both of them are good and can be used until 48 with ease. 48: Sai x2, or the +1s if you can afford it, both good DPS and parry skill is nice. 54: I went to Muketsu, the HP drain is nice and occs fairly often on VT mobs 61: At this lvl is the first major DD for NIN, i went with Kabutowari as its great DPS 70: This will be next upgrade, +3% Crits are nice and the DPS is cool, id dual wield em both 71: Kodachi of Trials - Xp in this, break it, get ur WS u need it! 72: Senjuinrikio - Endgame Katana, nice DPS for WS and main hand, nice crits DO NOT USE IN XP PT UNTIL BROKEN 73: Perdu Blade: Off hand for Shenjuinrikio is a nice combo, if you can get it.

Head: I used empress hairpin all the way up, and will upgrade @70 70: Optical Hat - Acc, Eva, Raa, Nice peice of gear, well worth farming the eyes. 75: Walahra Turban: If you have a haste set up use this, if you dont Ohat might be better Macro in this over Ohat for casting if ur tanking HNMs etc, its -5% casting recast are nice!

Neck:

33: Peacock's charm - Now i borrowed this from a friend, its really good. Helps you land ur hits and keep better emnity. But if you cant afford it, just ignore it and use Spike. 60: Chivalous Chain - Finally, a really good DD peice for NIN, STR+3, Acc+5 Store TP +1 Definatly worth saving for or get spamming excavation duty to buy it from Assualt.
 * I plan to use this endgame when my NIN is there, as it really is a good peice!*

Earrings: 50: Velocity Earring: Evasion +4, great piece, helps stop getting hit so much. 54: Eris Earring: Emnity +2, Nice, helps now the DDs start to get uber powerful yet NIN dont. 72: Suppanomi - Hard to obtain through a reward for Divine Might, But lowers delay by 5% on weapons and gives you 2 AGI to help with Parrying. 75: Brutal Earring - Best DD earring you can get, +5% double attack and store TP, easily worth the 700k for it, but im afraid you need Sea to obtain.

Body: 45: Brigandine: HP +10, Dexterity +2, Vitality +2 50: Nokizaru Gi: Agility +4, Enmity +1 Need i say more? Obtained from Subligar Quest. 55: Royal Knight's Chainmail Strength +2, Dexterity +2, Attack +3 57: Scorpion Harness HP +15, Accuracy +10, Evasion +10 59: Haubergeon: Strength +5, Dexterity +5, Agility -5, Accuracy +10, Attack +10, Evasion -20 this when you loose hate and have no way to get it back instantly, it raises ur DPS. When you have hate change back to SH again. These two body peices can be used at 75 although im sure many will agree there are other things But as i have to tested them this is as far as i can say.
 * Do not level past 57 without this, Eva helps avoid blows, Acc helps TP, used endgame!*
 * This peice is for 2 things: One WS macro, once done change back to SH, and two: change to

Hands: 34: Horomusha Kote: Attack +15 - these are great if you will pay for them! 34: Ochimusha Kote: Attack +20, Evasion -5 great except for the EVA down, camping NM takes ages 60: AF is nice to help with DEX, and being free cant hurt if you are skint. 72: Dusk Gloves: Attk+5, haste +3% can i say more? Coming down in price also :)

Rings: Any AGI, STR or DEX rings work 40: Snipers Ring, Acc+5, Def-10 (you should'nt be getting hit much if ur doing it right) 50: Garrulous and unyielding rings are great! STR+3 AGI+1, DEX+3, VIT+3 74: Flame rings - STR+5
 * If you have a CoP ring use Garu over Unyeild.*

Back: 38: Hi breath mantle: I cant stress how great this is, HP+38, Emnity +5 last half an hour, 50 uses. Im using this all the way to 75, once 75 changing to Behemoth mantle or Foragers, dont change to Amemet as ur DD isnt good enuf to be buffing too much Attk.

Waist: 48: Life belt - 10 acc, nice! 50: Swift belt: Has as hell to get, i went 1/4 but still, its nice, acc+3, haste+4% 72: Warwolf belt: STR+5, DEX+5, AGI+5 Emnity +3, nice peice for hate!

Legs: 50: Nokizaru Hakama: Agility +3, Enmity +1 Nice but pricey 55: Royal Knight's Breeches: Strength +2, Dexterity +2, Attack +3 64: Arhat's Hakama +1 Agility +4, Enmity +3 The HQ is worth the extra gil 75: Byakko's Hyaedate! Best DD legs out there, 15 DEX +5% Haste, best for NIN!!

Feet: 54: AF feet, +4 AGI, nighttime movement +12% Good peice 72: Fuma Sune-Ate HP +12, Agility +3, Haste +3% Nice for the haste set up!

This is about all i have found so far, thought i would post it here before the main page for any ideas or suggestions, if no1 dissaproves il add it to the main page for everyone to see!
