but the serpenstskin must be HQ overmelded...

Which isn't too hard to achieve.

Nvm wrong thread lol

Is there a craft-able ilvl170 gathering set?
I have yet to see it on any site/database.

This would be true...if there were any i170 crafted gatherer's gear for the main body pieces.

As you can see i changed it before you commented(thought this was DoH thread), however you cannot max the stats on some of the i150 gear as listed above, take the serpentskin body for example you need 10 perc 20 gathering and 5 gp to max it out, this is impossible cause you cant use rank 5 materia.

Is this confirmed that you can't? Has it been tried?
Even then, ignore the GP meld and you still got the same difference in perception and gathering.

I've tried using rank 5 materia and you can't because it requires an item of ilvl 160 or higher. It's impossible to max out the hq gathering body. You have to use all rank 4 materias. +Gathering rank 4 only grants +6. You'd need to use 3 rank 4 materias plus one rank 3 materia to reach the max cap on gathering. You can only meld 5 materia on one piece of equipment.

Squenix really likes to make things complicated for no reason.
Anyway I still won't be touching that i180 gear from red scrips apart from main hand tools.

So for now keep the serpent gear..and only use the red scrips for the main hand tools? Also from my understanding we can get a regular one and a crafted one right?

There is only a regular Main hand from Scrips (no crafted version) and only a crafted Off hand (no regular version), for gatherers.
The only other crafted items for gatherers are accessories. left hand side (belt aside) is all scrips bought.

Assuming they dont add anything in todays patch.

I've been running through the gear on http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/Miner and cant help but feel your workings are a little off as you cannot max meld every stat on every i150 piece.

Even if you're going via max melds, unless im missing something there is actually creddible support for getting full left hand side red scrips......

these are ignoring main hands, offhands and accs (which will be melded anyway.....)

Serpentskin: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/R0YX

+317 Gathering
+286 Perception
+ 8 GP

Red Scrip: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/R0Z5
+336 Gathering (19 Gain)
+299 Perception (13 Gain)
+8 GP (same)

Do you have a better suggestion for the melds?

the only thing thwat would sway me one way or the other atm would be the fact that each job needs its own set, which isnt so much an issiue for DOL as its only 3 sets, im just hoping crafters arnt similar

Crafters get to craft their i170 blue gear that has materia slots.
Gatherers can only get the i180 sets

its stupid

how much GP do we need? for example can we reach 700 GP with/without food with GP melds on the ilvl 150 gear but not with the scrip gear?
then again im not sure how useful 700gp would be XD

you would have nobody to craft it for you unless you know a crafter who would sacrifice his own equipment progress to craft that for you

what do you mean sacrifice his own equipment progress? What if I supply the mats ?

Then you are sacrificing your progress as he stated. The mats require gather and crafter scrips to obtain. To use them on gathering gear first would be sacrificing progressing your crafting gear, which would make crafting these items in HQ easier.
