Although I have no problems crafting HQ 3* gear with the equipment the game currently has to offer, 2.3 does seem like the perfect time to bring in the i70 armor for crafters. Have these new sets been announced yet, or have they yet to be announced?
Will there be new i70 crafter gear sets in patch 2.3?

True. If they just release Level 70 armors for DOH, everybody will most probably be able to HQ Master receipies. I can only imagine it to come when they introduce a tier above the Master recipies. But didn't they say Level 90 accessoires are around the corner? Maybe that could work.

It would sure piss off all the crafters that overmelded their gear, just to tell them it's obsolete in a couple weeks. Bless the treadmill ...

Hopefully they'll release i60 or i65 gear. Hopefully it'll be by 2.4, but that's just wishful thinking...

Well I am assuming with the increasing the difficulty of crafting from here forward yoshi plans on re introducing 1.0/beta crafting elements where you can have elemental spots pop up randomly along side the sphere color or a new sphere type that reduces progress made if it appears so there is a chance new gear will come up in 2.35 with a stat that effects the stability of the element or the orb. But as of right now adding new gear similar to the previous growth similar to the new tool and hat would just make the hardest crafts easier which brings us back to no challenge in crafting. You could say the same about combat but they still have to content with wipe mechanics crafting doesn't technically have instant fail conditions even though hasty hand some times sure seems like it is.

The way they did this last big patch, in terms of crafting was "just right." (Well, I wish they added i90 craftable accessories, but that'd be overpowered due to VIT melding). With the right classes/abilities/rotation/gear and HQ components when possible, nothing is truly 100% guaranteed. Which is how crafting SHOULD be. I've made a LOT of 3-star items. Best part that I've seen is that even the NQ mess-ups are still very valuable for those that want to glamour it. Hell, I think my first Saurian Shirt of Aiming wound up NQ (98%) and still sold for double the material costs.

06-30-2014, 05:23 PMTomTom1968This is an MMO. At some stage, everything we did will be rendered useless and you have to start from scratch. I agree, for DOH and DOL it will hurt because you do not get them overmelded in a short period of time. But there will be a Patch where all left for us to do is to get a Materia out of our DOH/DOL gear. And most probably it will be a Resistance type of Materia to smack you in your face for the 5 painful melds you did lol. Happened with one of my DOL hats already. 5 melds and Earth Resistance III came out of it. The other 2 gave me a SP+3 Materia. Hell Yes!.Quote:

Until they introduce 4 stars items, i don't see the point of release new crafter gear.

There is no reason to upgrade anything until the items we can make are worth the effort.
And I don't see that being the case anytime soon.

I don't think we will see new gear until the 1st expansion pack. Most likely there will be a lvl increase at that time as well.

I hope they don't increase the level cap. FFXI survived a very long time before a cap increase. Besides, that would result in a LOT of added content. Right now, even with iLvl of items being 20-25 levels higher than the previous patch, many people are still doing pre-patch content. Bump up the level cap and 100% of that old content will no longer be touched by anyone.

Well, looking at the preliminary patch notes, it seems like the only new crafting gear they released was the ilvl 75 Supra versions of the original af main hand. I think this is going to either piss off a lot of crafters who worked at getting the ilvl70 artisan stuff, or is intended to be a tool for other jobs (can get the 75 main hand for crafts you didn't do 70 for) Otherwise....ouch, all that work for step upgrades that are a gil and time sink.

My guess is that we'll have to desynth the original ilvl55 tool for a CHANCE to get a rare material required to craft the new ilvl75 tool.
And for the recipe you have to get the new Demimateria tome for which you'll also need the ilvl70 tool.
Well, considering we're talking about crafting here, I expect the worst ^^; -

I don't think SE will make us desynth the original ilvl55 tool. That would mean you get one shot at it. There's no way to get another one of them. If anything, maybe its gonna be a turn in quest again, where you turn in the i55 tool and X amount of crafted 3star items or demimateria to get it.
