3.2 180>170?

As some already said it it is only tombstone gear that will be meldable
It dors concern crafting gear

Plus the 180 might look good or stronger than the 170
But there is a CP loss... And unnecessary craftmanship on many piece

As i keep telling my fc, 180 do not worth buying them
Especially for the huge price
26 red script token for the tool...
Which is around 400 comp
So 80 crafted 2* comp
Which mean more or less 20 equipment (main or off-hand... Torso...)

...

Like small hobbit said... The 150 gear melded is enough to craft 2* with everyclass
And I personnally add NQ Fisher stew because i have around 400cp and the craftmanship requirement

The combat gear(be it raid drop, tome bought or crafted) will have one or more slots for materia - this are the only slots MAIN STAT materia will be meldable in, overmelding will only allow secondary stats.

Last I checked there was no changes to crafter/gatherer gears and materia handling other then that tier IV and V materia will be easier to obtain now.

There has been no primary stat (VIT/STR/DEX/INT/MND) for DoL/DoH since ARR came out.

Each slot has a different cap on each stat, based on ilvl. There are groups with the same caps at the same ilvl:

1. Mainhand
2. Offhand
3. Body
4. Head/Hands/Belt/Legs/Feet
5. Neck/Ear/Wrist
6. Ring

If this includes 180 red scrip gear, that would render 170 crafted gear obsolete.

Thoughts?

It would not matter as they have stated that you will not be able to over meld said gear, so even if we was able to meld i180 stuff it still will fall short with V. But I would be very upset if that was the case.
