Why can't players gear a job like NIN because they like to play it? The cost of the weapon has more to do with the cost of the materials, and because there are very few +1.
@Voren:
Because with a weapon like this u'd bother with Kannagi? From your comment it seems like this is an inferior but decent alternative to Kannagi xD
I admit among all of the models they chose, choosing the Sai was a good idea. When I think of Ninja I think of twin Sais, and choosing it for a weapon like this really speaks volumes in terms of looking the part for your job.
(Note I have no knowledge of Ninja save for the basics, my comment is not to be taken seriously other than aesthetic critique)
@Sechs
Yes, iLevel119 Kannagi is better than this weapons 10x over lmao! In fact this weapon isn't even close to the top weapon anymore. Skirmish+2 is better, AA weapon is better, Delve weapon when upgraded is also a nice weapon. So... This weapon isn't all that great so price is over rated.
Unfortunate thing about this is that it shares a mat (Bztavian Wing) that's used to make the new 9%/10% haste belt. So a crafter would have to decide to either make this or that (or a magic acc cape, lol).
