Octave Club adjustment....

[Kavik]

I actually wondered this too, it was glorious at 80 to have one but at 90 it sucks and 99 is not going to be any better ><. As for not dual wielding them them with K Clubs, can you have both the r/e version of the other items and the normal ones? i suppose you can although i never looked into it. Anyway, the rare version of say Emperor is now 150k, maybe they just didn't want the Kclub to be that common because then they couldn't make it a rank 1 mog bonanza item ?

Yes you can own(wield) both, they are completely different items.

P.S. (To OP) I know you said it was a cheap point... But comparing something that takes an alliance of people to get over the course of several years, and a hundred plus million in gil to get to something you could easily attain in a long day of BCNM grinding with a duo partner? C'mon man lol...

P.P.S (to OP) Keep in mind the timing/reasons for all the adjustments to those items. Gil sellers were the bane of FFXI at the time, that item was made "Less Valuable" to confront that challenge. If it remained the same as the Klub, even if it was Rare/Ex, there would still be a crew there trying to sell it because of it's value. That value would be even MORE, if the possibility to dual wield both at 'full strength' was present.
