PUP - Lol.

BLU - IDK enough about BLU.

Basically, Mantis Eye, regardless of offering accuracy in Ammo, Was garbage tier Garbage. If a Hate offers MP+100 MND+20 to THF, Just because its the best MND hat for THF doesn't mean its a useful item. Mantis Eye falls to the same problem. Its just garbage period.

Not a single job got a use out of Mantis Eye is what I'm trying to say, 10 Accuracy was not worth sacrificing the much better benefits that slot had to offer.

Edit: Also, Lucky Coin was one of the "Fake Yilb" Drops. It could come off the Non-Shadow.
Mantis Eye offers accuracy whereas those pieces of ammo do not and though situations are rare where you'll need to swap said pieces for the eye, it's still a good piece in those rare situations where you need to ACC stack.

This goes doubly so for those players who think they're capping acc on everything when they aren't.

My point wasn't to defend the Mantis Eye moreso than say that while Mantis Eye has few practical applications it is a common drop and thus appropriate to be what it is.

Items like Strategema Knife, Nikko-ichimonji, Puninshing gloves or even Dhampyr sword or the aforementioned Folhardi Ring are better examples of items that stand no chance of being used, were dead on arrival and border on outright confusing. A BLU can make use of a Mantis Eye but what the fuck is a Strategema Knife gonna do?

This only gets more confusing when you compare Kaggen (relatively joke tier mob now) to petrifact battlefields (hit or miss PUG content).
