It's not something I myself have confirmed and don't think I could ever confirm. But there is a word saying this cape supposly get rid of your evasion cap and is why japanese players want to get this item so bad for their last cape on ninja
The real reason that they want it is because its well worth the price for the evasion that it gives. No other back piece gives such a substantial amount of evasion except the toradors cape, but the toradors increases the rate of crits on you by a lot...i think 100%? if not its a lot. this is pretty much superior. Edit: The resist dark is also good.
I was told by my japanese friend (75 nin) that this item has a hidden effect: Reduces accuracy during the day (6am to 6pm).
I asked another 75 nin friend if they could verify this, but they said they did not notice any loss in accuracy. Maybe the effect is minimal, or simply that my 2nd friend already had a lot of accuracy?
Or maybe it's just another unfounded rumour. Still, has anyone else heard of this?
"Actually, if u are a nin or rdm/nin or any job that needs high evasion, this is about as good of a cape as ull find." no offense...but next time i see a rdm live on evasion...i will point and laugh at them, they have a C....this is not going to help rdm's poor *** eva out.... its good for thf and nin solo but...even full eva merits +8 skill/+7 torque skill/+3 eva skill earring...they won't evade anything that they "worry" about evading.... anyways...this is a thf or nin solo cape, more useful on nin than thf...if you guys think its worth it ... your money, your choice....i don't ~kensai
I know. Old post. But I just -had- to comment here. Before you go talking about a rdm/nin's "poor *** eva", you should try it. With the evasion gear I have, I evade (parsed) 65-67% more often on average. So this -does- help rdm. Especially rdm/nin. So before you diss a job's skill and what will and will not help them, you should be sure you know what you are talking about. For the RDM's out there that use rdm/nin and are curious about this cape. It's a excellent piece of evasion gear. Don't listen to people that have no idea what they are talking about.
