Why reduce the main hand tools to 12 Blue Scrips, but leave the off hands costing a full three weeks of Red?

Yes, this is intentional. The red scrip off hand tools and accessories weren't introduced until patch 3.2, so I doubt they'll be discounted until 3.4 drops.

So as someone with basically nothing but i180 gear on a couple of classes and the rest 150 white melded gear, what is my best progression to eventually make the ironworks set this patch? Farm blue scrips to get 180 for all of my gear, craft 170 accessories and pentameld them? Will I be able to craft ironworks armor with that gear? For main hand off hand, do I craft the 170 or do I farm scrips to go 180->200 for each class? Is there a main hand/offhand craft higher than the 170 gear?

I know this is a catch up patch and I've been absolutely aching to catch up for a while now, I just am not 100% sure how to go about it. (Currently grinding blue scrips for master 4 books)

Rowena tokens did nothing but gate newer crafts, which served the exact opposite of what everyone wanted. This divides people up based on whether you want to casual craft (use red scrips for ilvl 200) or grind for the ilvl 195 set and meld it to be better. Much better approach. :D

anyone can tell me where the neo aetherstones drop? im looking for the body part

I want to know if it will be possible to craft these without melded gears if i choose the goblin cup gears path

Based on the stats shown on Ariyala, we will need an almost fully melded ilvl 170 set to meet the minimum requirements for Ironworks (Craftsmanship: 870; Control: 835). You can substitute food to avoid a little melding, but not much. Unless I'm misinterpreting something, this makes the ilvl 180 set completely worthless if not upgraded. You won't be able to meet the requirements with it. So preparation is to use red scrips for the old ilvl 170 set and meld either or use red scrips to upgrade the ilvl 180 set and work your way back.

Made the chest, miss my pimp suit already.

I'd glamour but then all my other crafters would be stuck looking hideous. /cry

remember that caps are for specialist only, wo.. we need count the 20/20 from the soul.

right now my BSM have 883 (if i remember well) craftmanship and control 812 with 170 MT(penta) + 170 OT (single) + 170 Hands (PENTA) + 170 waist (PENTA) + 170 ringsx2 (PENTA) and the rest is just new 170 (omni double meld IV), i still need 3 acc 170 and im pretty sure i can pass the cap with out food, today i going to finish my set and going to post for show.

Yes, but you'll need the entire left side though. That'll require 2,350 red scrips, which takes slightly over five weeks.

I did. Even with Soul of the Crafter's boost, you'll still need to meld 90% of the ilvl 170 sets or wait until you have the ilvl 200 in full. There is no way to reach the requirements with the ilvl 180.
