Ok its about time we start figuring some of these things out NOW!

3.4 will be here tomorrow and us serious crafter/gatherers need to start our collective brainstorming!!

Patch notes next to new recipes have not listed what is SPC required and what is not; however its MORE THAN SAFE to assume spc DID NOT GO AWAY...

As anticipated BSM is OP this patch i think they have the longest list of new recipes and a few pre mats required in other recipes! Let's start with them first; so it appears there is a new desyn materia that comes from WEAPONS!?? And if that is so my guess is it's just like patch 2.x where u needed to desyn primal weapons to make the newer primal weapons. So we'll probably have to desyn Nidhogg or Sephi maybe even thordian and Alex savage to get desyn materia ( i am honestly thinking its 235 weapons plus so that would only mean Nid; Deep dung; old lore weapons (240); and Midas savage 245). Make sure we figure that out asap and share with the community!


ALC has made a comeback for the SECOND TIME in a patch!! I for one am very happy for ALC, whom before last patch were back to back losers second to ARM( rip to ARM this patch.....#pour40ounceOverGrave). Dissolvent 3 has made its debut and taken the place of Diss 1 (diss 2 never counted....) and its used in similar fashion to Diss 1; All this again is good for ALC as they again for a second patch have a hand in every final syn gear made and not without an assortment of crafts! ALSO ALC has yet another set of new str/dex/vit ...etc potions!!! I think it's overkill; but for sure hardcore raider like anything that gives them even a .001% increase in overall raid dps :) (I would buy it if i can get to see a 20k crit fire IV). Last thing about ALC; there is a new recipe with the name cordial in it....hmmm....MORE GP IS ALWAYS ALWAYS WELCOME (if thats what it is). edit watered cordial is GP but its LESS THAN regular cordial (which makes sense given the name) but what the hell??? it better be on its own CD...probably not....

Yo!!! What's up man. Yeah, I've been trying to prep for this patch too. BSM/ARM/WVR thinking I can make bank. I'm on Gilgamesh now though (about a month now), and I think I've figured out the market trend. There's a crap ton of players here though, and even more crafters than back on Sargatanas, so we'll see how things go. Good luck to you bruh!

CRP makes Teak Lumber, which is needed for basically everything, including the larger aquariums - it also requires 9 borax per synth (2250 seals ouch)

CUL food could be godlike, or it could be worthless. CP food or Crit/SS or Crit/Det food would be an amazing addition, otherwise I think it'll be mostly worthless.

Totally didn't consider the CRP and Aquarium equation. Nice. I have a friend prepping CUL. She's been gathering mats for weeks...

I'm still hoping for that Crit/Det food <3

Also BSM seems kinda bad, all the 250 weapons require the new demicrystals which seem extremely hard to get, might be worth leaving out BSM as a spec this round..

Well that depends. I've been saving up in anticipation for the mats being hard to get/expensive. So I'll probably have to buy them in order to make new BSM weapons. Gotta spend money to make money lol </3

I've had BSM special since the specialist system was added, but I'm thinking to just make the weapons that I want early and then switch specialist to something that will last longer this round. BSM doesn't really cover that many of the weapons because CRP, GSM, ALC can all make some weapons too. GSM does the BLM rod and AST star globe in addition to accessories. ALC is going to have super lasting demand from Supra potions and G3 dissolvents.

Borax and other GC comp are the easiest thing to get (not hq but well..)
If everyone do their GC turn in at 60 you get around 15k to 20k dpeending of star each day
Which greatly cover your use

Except if mass produxing then it can be tight

I expect cul recipe to be really relevant this time
Because he last 2 were... Meeeeh

nawwww u going about it all wrong!! MOST of the gil that is made in game (if you're not a super duper dedicated crafter) is made within the first few weeks of a new patch; EVERYONE HARDCORE DOWN TO SOFTCORE will need a weapon and bsm makes tanks(3)/mnk/nin/mch (6 of the 13) while nin and mch are so-so in demand TANKS?! 100% HIGH DEMAND and mnk is pretty popular as well! Also consider for long term that BSM makes glam and a few pre mats used in other syns (heavy metal ingots etc).

BSM is definitely NOT the SPC to give up; at least not yet...

FSH got shafted again, if you're the type of FSH that likes to be a part of the eco.... while, yes several new big fishes were added; if we're not to believe the current trend; all those fishes only desyn into something useful at less than 1% and are typically have very particular req's to catch..... we got one CUL recipe that requires a big fish catch; one that is very ez to come across....we can only hope the MEAL is useful... or return to RIP FSH......
