Imperial Operative Dalmatica

Imperial Operative Dalmatica: HP : -50, MP : +50, Refresh : +1, Healing Magic Potency : +50, Paralysis Resistance : +20, Magic Evasion : +25

Is there better than WHM AF for healing? Looks like it, but not entirely sure so I figured I'd ask.

Also, I've heard the item crops in Castrum... any idea how to obtain it? Or drop rates, if it comes from a mob?

Gold chest, you get the key from the level 63 Magitek Gundam H-1? I think is it's name.

Can anyone confirm if this body piece is better than WHM AF body? I've been told that it is, but I have also been told that it isn't. I've heard that it's only better for Cure, not Cura. It's hard for me to fathom that the dev team would put a tough item like this in the game to obtain without it being better than AF.

Looking for actual raw data, not speculation.

I couldn't tell you if it's better or worse, but personally I'm not going for it. I prefer WHM body because of looks, and the fact that they practically hand you an armor piece that is very nice without the need to rely on RNG for key drop and/or coffer drop rate

I think in the end they even out in healing magic power its just that the Dalmatica will give you Refresh and some more MP.

The Dalmatica is a bit better than the AF on Cure and Cura, but does a lot more healing on Curaga.

Actually, we don't know because the datas on the AF are not completed atm (the samples were too small). According to the tests done, the af gives a boost between 6 and 10%... but we dont have an accurate value. Until we know the exact % we can not answer to the question which body is better between the af or the dalmatica.

Don't forget paralysis resistance and magic evasion. Because folks totally gear for those.

With three days left to go and no one left in my shells to help try anymore I will end 0/21 on this drop (that 21 keys no drop). Grats to those that got it

You're not alone there. My LS tried a bunch the week before last. We got a bunch of keys, but no dalmaticas. Oh well, at least folks got plates to sell
