New DoH/DoL sets projected at 3943/29579

I set up a simulator on my dedicated server. i might look into running it on a screen and updating it on patch days when i come home from work. for those interested:

:) i only have it set to black smith (im not updating all new crafts every update just the "base" requirements so i can work out a rotation for the "required" new max quality and difficulty.)

For 4.3 it is the cross-pein hammer. you want to search :)

I am just merely managing and updating lokyst's simulator on my dedi using their github and nodejs functionality :). If lokyst doesn't get updated in the next few weeks i can look into making my version fully up to date. and look at the core code to understand how it works and make it work in the next expansion with new leveling data all being well :)

Way too Easy crafts, already making them with full NQ with MAMA with non-spec/spec, and as spec at 1654 start with prep. 490 cp is so nice :P

My stats are 1800 control+ with the new control cp food and cunning tea is my setup
and 1738-1758 craftmanship
490 cp.
no vi Overmelds other than CP in 3 acc.
and not finished melding my tools until 4 star :P

Katylna's Lazy Crafter macros worked for me. I used full Ala Mhigan gear left side, blue tools, and a few melds for additional craftsmanship/control, but mostly melded for CP just to where I hit the minimum CP for the macro with HQ Tempura and HQ Cunning Tea. Nothing was melded past the third materia slot so there was some overmelding, but not a ton, and only like 2 materia VI's. Maybe like 1550/1350 and 454 CP base, but I wasn't tracking as well as you all might like. Specialist for everything crafted, too.

I got too excited that it worked to stop and take notes. Plus my FC finally fielded a full team of 8 for the lighthouse and I had to put my newfound crafter skills to use for the team right away. ^_^

Extremely easy to craft even w/the HQ290 set. It's overmelded but i've only got the 320 chest piece with two control materia VI's in it along with the blue main and off hand items. Of course I'm using the old delienation method since I've only got around 475 or so cp and that's with the tea but it's still easy.

Nearly got my bard in a full set of 350 gear & can continue the storyline. Yay! I wouldn't want to use this method to craft gear to sell because it requires too much effort but it should allow me to catch up & get the new crafting/gathering sets. I'm SO glad I didn't overmeld my 320 set yet. Not that I have the materias I need but it's still nice that I can now just save them & work on the new stuff. I was really surprised at how easy it was to craft these to be honest. You guys/and gals can probably make it super easy if you have the 320 set overmelded. Heck even just the NQ set with a few melds can probably manage it.

Do you guys and girls think this is going to be it for Stormblood/LV70 crafting (and gathering) gear? It's always painful to spend gazillions in crafting/gathering gear and melds just to have newer and far better gear in 3 months...

I sincerely hope this gear lasts at least 6 months. Your take? o.o Will we still get Ironworks-like gear for Stormblood/LV70?

This will last the expansion if you meld it. Look at HW's Iron Works gear this set it basically the same as that as it also came out in 3.3 if i remember correctly. there will be 1 more set that will be "better" but it wont be an Omni set it will be for each class. if you are willing to skip over these then it will last you the expansion as regards an end-game crafter PoV just upgrade your weapons accordingly.

Also UPDATE to my rotation.

I am melded in the new gear now (unmelded weapons) grade 5/6 overmelds on left and right and cp's on the weps

Currently on: 1685 Craft, (using ala mhigan MH atm). New Offhand.
Control: 1742
CP: 493

New crafts now go to 86% with that rotation. if you are melded the same as me you can put an innovation in and make it go up by a few % i think to 90/91%. which means 25% hq mats = 100% guaranteed HQ :)

Tried simming a quick rotation into this and got 17k quality.

Put the exact rotation, same item, same specilization into http://ffxiv-beta.lokyst.net/#/simulator (which is updated now) and got 20k quality. The rotation has achieved that 20k quality with the old battle 3 star crafts.

Any idea which one is accurate?

mine hasn't failed me yet??? so idk. but work on the principle of mine if its lower if its wrong its more potent :)

It could also be down to how many goods were "predicted" with the simulation.

@pkminer30 Your rotation looks to require a base craftmanship of 1560.

@pkminer30 Nice rotation! I have one suggestion though: Swap Piece by Piece in step 19 with Hasty II in step 22 so that Hasty II benefits from Ingenuity. It should bump you from 20551 quality built to 21216.
