I was posing an example with the Defiant Sweat, but any other ingredients can be used too, as long as it makes cooking as its main to be able to make them.
Another point I have to ask, is how one person on our server (name withheld atm on Asura) has already made FOUR of these new completed craft shields (one on main and three on mules), and had them done so fast? Even taking into consideration the TIME it takes to farm and synth the spheres, and then synth the Apex crystal.... still seems as if they did something "fishy" to do it? I cannot get my head around it atm.
And splitting the gear pieces per job up betwixt the different crafts would make it so that one craft AGAIN does not dominate the job-gear field. We all know how SE loves Goldsmithing, and just plain tired of the rest of us getting the short end of the stick on that.
And I do the same thing with Curio Moogle, buying & reselling for profits. I don't have any pity for people too lazy to spend 30 seconds to save themselves 50k gil. I will gladly take advantage of their ineptitude and/or laziness.
