Must have

As a lvl 38 Sam I have to say I love these Kote. Get these as soon as you can they will make a huge diffrence in your DMG. My last party my regular hits made anywhere with 60-80 and my crits were nice. I have with food+ hasso+Berserk+ gear near 300 attk. I have really seen a diffrence in my Sam's attacks. If your a monk, nin, or sam this is someting you really should look into getting. Not to mention they will last you a long time. --Mavr1ck 21:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, if you've been camping that stupid NM for 3 days straight, claimed it 13 times and haven't gotten a drop yet, you should probably consider farming until you have the Gil and buying it. This is exactly what happened to me. --Tachwan 16:58, 3 December 2008

No longer able to purchase as it's officially an RE item. Happy Camping... --Elisabett 22:19, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Level Sync

Gives +3 attack in a level 32-33 Level Sync

 -This may not be the case anymore.  Was this before the recent update to level Sync where stat adjustments got adjusted?

Gives +3 attach and +6 defense in a level 20-21 Level Sync party. --Ajito 23:20, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Attributes

Is it just me? I seem to resist sleep alot with these on. Maybe the +8 dark? I don't see how it would affect it so much, but I can't explain it any other way. --Weend 10:22, 5/6/09

If you're 'just resisting sleep', and not "Resist! Weend resists the effect of Sleepga.", then yes, it's due to the increase in elemental resistances. There is no known hidden Resist Sleep trait in these gloves. --Taeria Saethori 21:33, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
