Kannagi is not, however, better than the Thordan EX daggers despite the higher item level.
I see your point with Yukimitsu, and you basically summed up my frustration in the last sentence. Thordan EX is better than Kannagi, so why waste my time grinding for it? I may not raid, but i could handle Thordan EX, the only reason I held off was BECAUSE of the animas.
