New crafting gear speculation?

What are we going to sell with the new release of ivalice?
The gathering gear requires a shot ton of rare mats and 750yellow script on average. So I don't see those being easily craft able in bulk like we can for the 290 gear or 320HQ

I had thought there was going to be higher ilvl combat gear to go along with this, but it's all just a handful of stuff that doesn't matter if it's HQ.

The new high level combat gear comes in the even numbered patches (4.2, 4.4) to coincide with new raid tiers. The release of the new crafting gear in odd numbered patches (4.1, 4.3) is to allow crafters to gear up in preparation.
