The dated stats bonus on all items is completely disgusting. I spent so long gathring mats to get a +3 Horn Fishing Rod and you know what the difference between a NQ and a +3? 69 Gathering/Output/Perception for a NQ and a +3 is 74 Gathering and 69 Output/Perception. Are you friggin kidding me? A +5 gathering boost to one stat is it?

Tricorn +3, do you know how hard a Tricorn +3 is to get verus other +3 items? +5 defense over NQ is it. I am not an HQ hound, but the only 2 +3 items I have are complete and utter crap now. We spend tons of time gathering mats, months upon months of playing a game that is still beta quality....and these items...they are still high level items. WTF is going on here SE?

I'm off to go punch a Lalafells chocobo.
