For the record, I don't think the Raise X items ever really get good stats-- they're meant to be there to give a boost to the Skill EXP you gain for the different things that determine what you end up developing for a character. As a result, usually my favorite thing to do is to take one of the Raise X items and fuse all other Raise X items to it, creating an item that results in all skill areas leveling up when equipped. Bonus points if you get any elemental attributes onto the item, too.
