Which is what I want too. I want to do hardcore crafts but if they can be done easily just because you have lots of gil it's no longer "hardcore" in my eyes.

Somehow convinced myself to prepare facet for 5.2.1 and completely did all gathering / crafting gear and tools over 2 days and remelded cheaply.
It was more fun than I expected as getting as much hq as possible in the pre-combines, meant the final combines were done in less than 40 mins.
It does make life much easier by removing the rare unlucky outliers I got beforehand (about 10 nq's from all precombines), but since I manually craft anyhow, it mainly just turned 85% into 100% hq. I do hope the new recipes are harder with the facet than the facet was with the i430's.
