Crafting BiS 4.0 ?

that's it then, just new gear, nothing new to craft? It was all ready easy to HQ with ironworks.

If anyone finds how to craft the new gear rather than buy it with scrips, I'd like to know, because it looks like we aren't getting new master books right now. And there are no tools, no gear to craft either. It's all just unmeldable yellow scrips stuff, which is seriously disappointing. What even is the point of getting all this scrips gear right now, especially since you can't even meld it? It looks good, but... it seems just kinda... there. Yellow scrips also don't seem to have a weekly limit, so it's not like you have to do the grind either. Might as well just wait for the books to actually come out before getting scrips, since they're already ungodly easy to get...

yes it is disappointing. I'm hoping, really hoping that they have a crafter patch on Thursday after the release of the savage mode raids, like they did with uh, alexander? or something. If I remember correctly. They said they didn't want the new crafter gear to give people an advantage in savage mode, could be misremembering.

People have gone mad? I would have to say that's a smart move. CP materia is relatively inexpensive, so why not meld out at least CP so you can function with current 100% HQ macros and rotations until new recipes are released and we find out what we really need?

Ah ok, that makes sense. New master recipe books then you think?

Judging by how they done things in past, its usually an additional 10-20% more craft/control required going from 1star to 2star, or to any next level star. ATM 1star is 1100 craft, 1080control, I would expect 2star recipes to be around 1200-1300 craft and 1100-1200 control given that there are Materia 6 now. MAX possibly 1400-1500 craft, 1250 control.. atm 190 penta melded accessories with scrip left side mostly covers projected 1300 craft n 1100 control+food

What I'm talking about people melding CP pentamelded all accessories no craft no control....

You don't really need anymore than 440CP to craft to HQ items. If you need more you might want to revisit your rotation I guess.
