After i handed back the O.Kote i got from veddy *nod*, i spent about 3 months farming/crafting my @$$ off to get myself a o.kote. in the long run, i thought it better to earn mine though gil making skills, than to camp the things. i will say, i love them to death now that i have my own, and i am also glad i nailed them back when they were 1.8 mil... seeing as how they are 2.8-3 mil now.
camping them is a good option, but make it a fun outing, and keep it a friendly camp, and the time will fly by. i do highly reccomend them. they do make a huge difference in damage output. i never leave my mog house without them XD
as far as the jujitsu gi... i used one for a bit... but i hated the paper thin def on it, especially now since i am usually a trick partner (first voke)... it's simply not even worth it, unless you are a monk, as far as i can tell. but you can live without both and manage fine, IMO. i have PT'd with "ghetto samurai's" that didn't have them, and they did just fine with what they had, and food.
i guess the point of this is, both are really just luxury items, and you shouldn't put too much stress on having them. i'm sure... no, i'm positive you'll make a kick @$$ sam, no matter what you wear.
