Effect on AF gloves...

[Kyoujin]

Anyone have a link to a page that details the bonuses of different rice balls while wearing AF gloves?

Also, do you need to continue to wear the gloves to get the rice ball bonus, or just when the rice ball is consumed?

I'm not sure what the conditions for receiving the bonus is, but I know that one bonus is +34 defense. There may be other bonuses, but that's the only one I remember off the top of my head.

One glove question I have, which I'll add to this "glove" thread is:

Are Ochudo's Kote worth camping for at my current level? What level is the mob it drops from and how camped is it?

If you go to killingifrit.com and go to the culinary recpie page they show both the effects of rice balls with the gloves and without them.

Gloves rock! Tonsama rice balls with af gloves = dex, attack, defense boosts plus double attack+1! Knell you know the stats, post them please.

[Kensai]

its ok... I still think that Meat mithkabobs are better. Especially on the price.

Tonosama riceball

HP + 15, Dex +3, Vit +3, Chr +3, (if you have AF gloves the following) attack +45, Def +32, Double attack +1

[Rawdog]

uhhh...HP + 15, Dex +3, Vit +3, Chr +3, (if you have AF gloves the following) attack +45, Def +32, Double attack +1 beats a mithkabob in my book...

At first I thought the rice balls were a joke but those stats increases are... insane! The best part is the effect lasts an hour....

[Kensai]

I assume that +22% attack would have a greater effect in the long run. +5 str doesn't hurt either.

[Takedashingen]

Are you on crack!? Dex+3? goood Doubleattack+1? so goood it makes you wanna slap yo mama!

[kujo412]

+21.9% attack is about even with the 45 attack from rice balls.. unless you have all +attack equipment, then maybe mithkabobs would give a little more.. but the added defense, dex, and the double attack +1 make rice balls > mithkabobs

Related info: I did a few melee tests on ant rangers near Rabao to gauge the difference +20atk makes. With AF gloves I hit for 72-115. With Ochiudo's I hit for 81-135. Dotanuki, no berserk.
