Question for you all getting back into crafting this patch what do I need to replace to be able to craft the new omni set?
this character is my alt but my main character has the same gear.

Meteorite and Crystalized Sap are Folklore Nodes in the sea of clouds and the churning mists. You need 720 gathering and 740 perception. So they are obtainable with blue scrip gear ( former red scrip gear)

Isn't all crafted gear supposed to be overmeldable?

yea between the new DoW/DoM and the crafting gear, I am starting to wonder if they are slowly moving away from over melds, till one day it will no longer be around.

PSA; if you plan to get the Carbonweave Set, don't invest into the Chestpiece. Unless you are using T5 Materia, it will be beaten out by the 180 chestpiece because it can't be over-melded. Better off just to invest in the Ironworks.

Left side blue, except belt, tools 180, right side acessories white and enough CP for Rath's Rotation.

If you invest into the ilvl 200 tool and/or Body, it is even easier. If you switch to ilvl 170 belts and accessories, it will become much easier.

Forget to Say that ive already belt offhand and accessori 170. Could you help me to meld it to reach 3* with 180 left side? Im not so pratica with Ayala site :)

You will meet the Minimum of 870 crafts and 835 control to make your own ilvl 190/195 gear.
I have added as little materia and overmelding as possible. Only do this if you intend to replace every single slot.

You will have enough CP for Rath's Rotation (437 CP) and 3 extra thanks to "Seafood Stew HQ". So you could replace a bit of CP, but I would leave the extra 2 CP, so you can Switch to "Baked Onion Soup HQ" for 2 star crafts.

I hope it helps!

gee, so glad I exchanged my red tokens for blue. THEN FIND OUT THE OFFHANDS STILL NEED RED.

totally done with this crap. All they needed to do was reduce the red token price, and none of this confusing BS was necessary.

Actually, the reduction is crazy. The main hand used to cost 26 red tokens. Now it's 12 blue tokens. You get 4 blue tokens for 1 red token, so the new price is now essentially 3 red tokens. From 26 to 3... wow.

Anyway, yeah, guess they will change the off hand to blue tokens with 3.4. :-/
If they had only reduced the price to 1-3 red tokens each, it would still be weekly limited. It isn't anymore thanks to blue scrips. (Well, off hand still is.)

So I'm using my stash of red scrip tokens to buy the i180 gear (except for belt and accessories), in order to bring myself up to be capable of crafting the i170 belt/accessories myself.

I've found though that my CP is ridiculously short. Every 2-star rotation I've found requires 419 CP or more (before food), I'm at 350 lol. Am I looking at over-melding white accessories (hallowed chestnut) just to get the CP necessary to craft the accessories that'll immediately replace them? 831 / 763 / 350 craft-ctrl-cp atm (before specialty, which I have 3 crafting soulstones ready but haven't committed yet)

If the Handmaster's accessories/belt were blue tokens and not 27 red (27 red would convert to 108 blue) I'd consider them, but I guess there's no leapfrogging that meld step. I guess I can't complain though, this was overdue
