Mistake in Craftsmanship Requirements?

I noticed that a number of high end crafts have a requirement of 375 for Craftsmanship. Dark steel Ingots and Rose Gold Clasp are 2 examples. Did you mean for those to be 275 like all the other high end synths requiring requiring Craftsmanship? I sincerely hope so as 375 is virtually impossible to attain.

i am at 343 craftmanship without food :p

but i think the requirement is 347 , no 375....

You are correct. My mistake. sorry. Can you get your Control to 317 using the same set of gear? If so please tell me your secret.

HQ Crafting AF, Lvl50 Class Tool, Militia Offhand in HQ, best accs with doupbe and triple melds. There we go, you can even exceed the needed stats by quite a bit.

347 craftmanship and 318 control aren't even high enough imo.

Considering it's pointless to make the gear that requires that much CMS/C and just get Darklight, I think it's high enough :D.

Nah, I think they should have raised the required stats rather than make it take 9 of each token item. Would have been better.

They could have also simply raised the amount of gathered materials it takes to make the stuff, thus takeing a lot of out out of the loop with one craft.

To below: I know they don't want us to make the gear and go for darklight instead, I have my own thread about that.

That would make sense if SE's goal was to increase the cost/difficulty of those synths. As it stands right now their goal is to make sure those gears are so ridiculously cost-ineffective that most sane players wouldn't bother.

SE is basically saying "Don't make these gears, go dungeon spam for darklights instead".

Consider HQ crafted i70 blows DL out of water... I'd say it's still very important

Well we're running in circles here. What does it matter if the gear blows DL out of the water if it's not feasible to make it efficiently? The time spent to get crafters leveled (as well as properly geared to HQ those recipes), aquire enough gil/tombstones for the items, get the right materia, get the melds done and so on is just wasted. It's easier to just farm DL (by the time you have crafted some i70 gear you probably will have equipped all your characters with a complete DL setup). And then you can go straight for AF+1/other things. That's a lot less hassle, less time wasted on leveling crafts/gatherers, less time spent on learning how to craft and probably less money spent.
