Where are the Actons?

So.. yeah, the Acton is my favourite outfit, at least insofar as things I want Forra to wear go.

Of course, the Brigand's Acton and the Harlequin's Acton are still about but... where are the higher-end crafted Actons? Do they exist? Is it simply that nobody has bothered to make and sell any yet? Or are the developers really trying to relegate Actons to entry-level use only? I ask because.. well, the Harlequin's acton is locked to magic users, and the Brigand's.. I don't really like its colours. Plus neither can bear materia, either.

One of the things I've taken comfort in throughout all the changes and the removal of things about the game I liked was that the acton always seemed to favour the classes I liked, so it was unlikely I'd ever be forced to have Forra wear something I felt didn't much fit him.

So again.. are they gone? Is nobody making higher end ones? If not, what's the recipe so I can take a shot at it myself or have someone do it for me? If they are gone.. is this permanent? Or were they simply not in this particular wave of new items?

You are probably not seeing them because the 1.19 patch did not have an updated recipe for them. You can still make the dated actons, but many of the items necessary to make them are even harder to attain now.

Thanks zerrith. I'm glad to hear the old versions can still be made, for now, but that does not solve the problem that they're a lot less effective than an acton of the same level, under the new gear system, that could equip materia would be.

So, well, again, will this be rectified in the future? Are there going to be higher level acton recipes added at some point?

I feel the same about cowls. Currently, there's no non-dated cowls between Hempen and Linen. One of my armorer friends commented that there is no new recipe for body armor before L30 or so.

Hopefully 1.20 will bring many more recipes for the missing gear items.

Hopefully, yes! x.x

.. Bleh, just saw Dalmatica lack higher level recipes and all. Are the developers going after the gear sets I happen to really like or something? >.>
