While the actual weight is unchanged, the Maximum Dexterity bonus increases by +2, and the armor check penalty decreases by 1. Caster Level 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, cat's grace; Market Price: +1 bonus.This in FR Magic of Faerûn. I'ts pretty balanced and the party ranger always goes for it, usually with a mithril chainshirt, to get the most out of that +8 Dex they get later on, and it isn't that expensive, just 5,250 gp, which isn't bad for getting a potential +13 to your AC, which is much cheaper than getting an equivalent +4 Full-plate (which cashes in at 17,500 gp). Of course, if you go all the way, you get the +5 nimble mithril chainshirt, which grants you a +17 (+5 magic, +4 armor, +8 Dex) to AC (at 37,250 gp), or a +5 nimble mithril full-plate that gives you a +18 (+5 magic, +5 Dex, +8 armor) to AC (at 46,650 gp). When you get right down to it, the walking tea-pot will be better in the long run, but it's only good for PC's with relatively low Dex bonuses (just 20 or 21 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ), while the first option is good for elf rangers that by level 10 will obviously already have their gloves of dexterity +4  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> to get their Dex to 26 (18, +4 enhancement, +2 racial, +2 ability increases at 4th and 8th level). Well, those were my two copper pieces (actually more like two gold pieces, but what the heck). <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
