My server ran out of materia. Also, don't bother pentamelding left side (except belt) without grade 5 materia.

there is a list with the correct values here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l-60-gatherers
also you can always use http://www.garlandtools.org/ to find them (without having to experiment yourself)

Is it actually worth it to use them now when Red Scrips will be coming in a few weeks? I crafted 4 pieces on the left side just in case but I'm a little worried they will be easily replaceable in just 2 weeks.

Two possibilities here. One, melding your gear now will help you craft whatever new stuff comes along. Two, you will be replacing whatever you meld now in short order, making it worthless.

Take your pick as to which you think its going to be.

Personally, I'm going to get the gear but wait for the new gear before I meld.

Do we know if red scrips will be next week or in 3 weeks yet?

In 3 weeks. Same time as Alexander Savage.

They really need to scrap the materia system and make scrips be the way we get gear.

Rip if u aren't geared, red scrips might cost u a leg etc.

I'd be willing to bet red scrips give you the best mainhand and offhand, and maybe hat. otherwise, better hire a crafter

I know I'm in the wrong sub forum but can someone post the CRAFTING HW bis + meld cap. Every time I open garland site is bugged. Appreciated !
