Increases Critical Hit Rate

(Cross posting from the Alla page regarding this same item) I am an unequivocal crit whore, as well as a parse whore. Anything that will up my critical hit rate, I am interested in. As such, this has caught my eye. It's been cast away for years as crap, but I underbid and got one for 20k, woo. Junk, I figured, +1, +2% increase at most! Still, I gave it a go, and just got done with a party while swapping between this, and a Hauberk. The critical hit numbers are below;

• Round 1;
• Jawshan: 19.75
• Hauberk: 14.29
• Difference; +5.46

Interesting! When I joined the party, I announced I'd be doing some parsing between the two of them, and our Red Mage mentioned he'd heard it was a +5% increase. I thought that was too good to be true, but it didn't seem so! Now, the above numbers were just prelimenary, 20~21 fights each. After the initial testing, I decided to go for the long haul. Below are the results for 60~ fights a piece;

• Round 2;
• Jawshan: 25.15
• Hauberk: 18.75
• Diffference: +6.4

That's pretty substantial. As it is now, I'm going to call that a +5% increase, looks like six, but I'm not ready to say six. Going to do some more parsing, and will probably update this post later. - Commodore64

• Perhaps there's a reason why the stat was listed as Increase rate of critical hits rather than Critical Hit Rate +5%. Could it be that there are certain conditions that would make the rate increase or decrease? I could totally see SE just slapping that phrase on there at random, but there is the possiblity that there's some effect that influences the rate of critical hits. --Jaxen 09:06, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

I have been using this awhile and i havent really noticed any increase in critical hit rates, it seems to be normal but i havent done extensive testing, i might do that sometime --BioShark 03:53, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Anyone Know Exactly how much this is? or by what amount or degree?(Critical Hit rate increase)Lancer 22:15, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
