By trading the enhanced cursed item and a new abjuration to an NPC, you’ll be able to obtain even more powerful equipment.

It’s extremely difficult to create the HQ items, but in addition to the HQ items having high base stats, they also have higher augment caps.

Furthermore, there are combination bonuses only for the HQ versions, and the stats have been created to fit the difficulty of making them.

That is terrible that the HQ are the only sets to benefit from combination bonus.

I like it. Gives the dedicated people something to shoot for.

Shoot for what? As of right now you only get one main craft. I won't be able to make all the armor sets I want. I'm going to have to wait for someone else to make it and then hope I'm the person online when they go to sell it. There is no skill in this, nothing to work at, just dumb luck. It not like making a R/M/E where you go do the event and collect enough MacGuffins till you can make your weapon. You could HQ on your first attempt, you could HQ on your 1 millionth attempt.

As far as my understanding goes, there going to be allowing all crafts to be unlocked to there max limits/potentials that is in all crafts in a future update!:confused::cool:

Unfortunately, by the time they do it, there will be no reason to level all crafts.

This is an MMO and relying on others is what you are supposed to do. If that doesn't suit you then make a mule and level a craft. it is ridiculously easy to level crafts from 0 to 110 now. If you don't want to do that either... that's your tough luck that you make for yourself.

Actually, SE programs all the luck. Cool story though.

Look at that, someone's brd dualbox is saying all I have to do to solve my problem is make a mule for every craft. I'm starting to see why this is your stance on the issue. Since you have enough time to get a mythic for a dualbox I'm guessing you already have a mule with 110 for every craft. Look maybe you are fine with paying over $30 a month for ffxi, but I'm not.

@ Ulth: pathetic personal attack. It's $1 for a character. If you don't want to spend $1, that's on you. Find someone else to craft it for you or wait until SE makes it so you can have all crafts 110 on the same character. You have no valid complaint.

edit: another option is for you to craft the abjurations on your main, level another craft to 110 on your main and make those abjurations, then level another craft to 110 on your main and make those abjurations, etc.

@ Bazookatooth: You obviously missed the point of what I was saying so I will spell it out for you. He made his choices and he has nothing but himself to blame.

Was there some sort of log in poll that I missed where SE asked us how we wanted the new armor system to work and Ulth was the only one allowed to vote? Did he choose the "Make the system as convoluted as possible, make it rely on numerous crafts and make the HQ rate terrible..." option?

Yay, something to sink my time and gil into again!
No, this is not sarcasm. Some of the augments on the 119 Zenith gear is amazing and I have only looked at the NQ versions so far.

And truth be told, I was running out of long term goals in this game.

So Protey, do you just want gear that no one else has, or are just planing to take advantage of the high price of HQs you make to pay for the afterglow on your Murgleis?

I don't care if anyone else has the items or not. I just like the challenge of obtaining hard to get things (this is supposed to be a game after all).
I don't plan on selling HQs, just making them for myself (though if someone asks me to craft for them I might consider helping them out).
Farming all 150 scoria myself, thank you.

I don't like "long term goals" that are based purely on luck. My last long term goal was completing my Claustrum. I certainly will not be attempting these dice roll goals. Any time chance can work against me it will, like playing XIV, mining a mining point for an item with a 95% rate and missing 4 times in a row. If there's even a less than1 % chance of an undesireable outcome for something in ANY game, I'll be the one to hit it.
