this is the best head gear a whm can get. 28mp thats about the zenteh bonus with no -hp and +7 mnd and 1 hmp. the only thing this lacks is a few -enmity but other then that it is the best out there
I might get this one day after the gloves. +7 MND is very nice for Cure V. I don't know the exact formula for it, but Cure V is something along the lines of (Healing magic skill/3) + (MND * 1.5) + 430. (And of course, after that factor in cure potentcy+ items). So as you can see, MND+7 is a decent boost. However, the reason people (myself included) want the gloves more is that they also give MND+7, *and* they give Healing magic skill+15, which will boost it even more. And that's not to mention that both STR and MND (both of which the gloves give +7 to) are modifiers for Hexa Strike's damage, and then there's also Enmity-4 rather than -1. Healer's Mitts +1 are the easy first choice, if you ask me. The cap is the second thing I would get, though. The rest of the AF+1 for WHM just seems pointless.
Whm af gear is nice cause it's free, but if you got the gil - buy a full set of raven gear, it is well worth the gil. That is all i have been wearing since i turned 50 and i'm 64 now still wearing the same gear lol. All raven gear (hat,body,gloves,legs, and feet) are a total of -36 enmity and i think +34 evasion also. With that gear on i can 2hr and not even get hate ^^ but as i said before - af is nice, its free lol
benediction by itself has very little hate. The hate comes from how much HP you recover to your party. raven gear alone will no keep a mob off you if you have a lot of hate built up from that fight. Use bene where you cure 5 people plus yourself for over 6k HP total, unless you have been doing nothing the entire battle and have no built up hate, or a tank with lots of hate, you will still pull hate with -40 enmity.
raven/crow gear is ok in some areas but curing with no +MND, +healing magic or cure potency from slots taken up by raven/crow is a huge waste of mp. I Cure V w/o divine seal for 850ish and I haven't touch MND merits yet. Only time I ever pull hate is during long battles with hnm, which I usually log out to reset hate every 30 minutes or so anyways.
This is not relic at all. This is an upgraded version of the original AF hat. To get the AF+1 items made (by an NPC), you need a number of Ancient Beastcoins, as well as 2 special materials, which come from Limbus. You also need 1 material that is crafted.
To get the Healer's Cap +1 specifically, you need: -30 Ancient Beastcoins (Common drop off any mob in Limbus) -1 Benedict Silk (Found in some areas of Temenos) -1 Benedict Yarn (Found in some areas of Apollyon) -1 Ether Cotton (Alch.91 synth. Cheap, easy to find materials) -1 Healer's Cap (Original AF hat)
Trade all that to the NPC (I believe it's Sagheera in Port Jeuno), and she'll upgrade your AF hat for you. I'm not sure if you lose the original hat.. Most likely.. But keep in mind the AF quests are repeatable, so you can get another one. :)
I'd say this is pretty much one of the best head peices for WHM, +7mnd is good, HMP+1 as well, not much but still it adds up, enmity-1 not that great but i don't think there are many peices for WHM with much -enmity anyway, 28mp and no -hp good for tarus.
