New Crafter's Armor?

Anyone know if there will be new crafter's armor in patch 2.2? The item lvl is going up and item lvl 90 crafted armor is being introduced so I was wondering if there were news about new crafter's armor?

I hope not, honestly. Maybe some iLvl 55 accessories in the slots where none are currently available, but keeping our stats comparatively low would be a smart move. Being able to effortlessly HQ high end crafts reliably without needing HQ materials ultimately did more harm than good to everyone.

Yes there will be new stuff for all crafters. Even ilvl 90 items too.

There isn't much reason to say that the iLvL Cap is being raised, show off new armors that go with this, promote new armors Artifact, Allagan, and the new Master Work/Relic and then say more crafting recipies are available as well as implement a new quality system that makes it harder to harvest and craft without raising your stats if you cannot get new armor that raises the stats.

They've all but outrightly told us we're getting new crafting armor with this update just like the DoW and DoM classes. Crafters will need new armor with higher stats in order to keep producing under the new system as well as be able to do the Master Recipe Books if they are for Crafters to do and not just Gerude.

Looking for facts to support his claim of i90 DOH/DOL armor. We are currently crafting i70 with ilvl 50 gear. It's not out of the question to think that we could craft i90 gear with our current armor but with more melds/more difficult rotation (seeing as crafting 2 stars is almost too easy). It's also possible that they only upgrade our Tools. I'm curious as to the details which is why i asked for a source.

New Tools as well? What happens to our Luminary's? etc.

I can only see maybe getting an i55 necklace, earrings and belt to go along with everything else. They just added master crafting rings that are still only i55. Right now anyone with most crafting classes at 50 can HQ craft effortlessly with NQ mats so I doubt they would make the new stuff any harder then that.

You might need a few HQ mats of the easy stuff but we'll still be able to doing HQ versions pretty easily i'd imagine. Crafting has taken a back seat in this game.

New DoH/DoL tools and headpieces confirmed in the latest Letter from the Producer. See question #12.

Great the most I would have to meld is 2 items.

I'm hoping this is True! And its the reason i called for "Facts". I would also assume they will be adding i55 Neck/Earing since they are missing from the game, perhaps in the Master Crafting Books but we will have to wait and see.
