New crafted Anima weapon items - money for crafters?

3.15 patch notes are already out!
http://ffxivrealm.com/threads/patch-3-15-notes.15450/

The new recipes look like specialist recipes to me! So I guess this will be similar to the previous Zodiac weapon crafted items, but instead of being limited by desyn, this time maybe we'll be limited by specialist recipes restrictions??? :confused:

I smell money, but not too much money... Well, at least CUL and ALC are not being boycotted this time. Everybody specialist class has something to sell...

well i hate when they do this. after hitting 60 on botanist, miner and the 2 crafting classes i used to like, I never bothered to gear them.
now i probably have to rely on someone else (or the market board). luckily this is one of those moments when you realize that gil has a use at certain times.
so be ready to take my money builders of the realm

Totally in for this!!

This will be like the "Perfect" crafted items from last Relic line, there will be 15 crafters on Ultros all undercutting each other lol I'll sell the mats :)

Looks like money for gatherers from what I'm seeing. I actually suspect I'll make less money than 3.1 selling skyprirate gear. And because the materials overlap with Skypirate gear, the prices of the gear have to increase in order to make profit. And people never want to pay more for something they could have bought for X.

I see a lot of people buying up the mats for these. It is actually much more profitable to sell the mats right now lol. 100-150k for dawnborne again! So easy to get too. the diadem mats are going through the roof as well. On my server it was pretty much the first few crafters online that bought it all up. Now everyone else is paying w/e they can trying to sell the finished items, which nobody is even buying yet. By the time enough people are on this stage, the markets should be flooded.

Yup that's exactly what I'm anticipating. Personally at this point I'm enjoying just sitting on my dragon horde. I have little incentive to put forth extra effort to expand it. I'm just enjoying raid content instead.

Why are they doing this. These mat prices are unaffordable to the majority of the server -_-. There goes my relic hype...

Mat price will level off very quickly. The interesting thing will be the specialists. When I have seen some of the top crafters in the largest FC's in PF looking for specialist to help build the Mog house (and tipping a ton for it), I think it is going to be really interesting seeing what the ALC, CRP, and GSM items go for.

As soon as the game went up, within 2 minutes all dawnborne aethersand was bought and being resold at 100k. Money screwing up the market board. xD glad I can gather it myself. Pterodactyls also were bought out and driven up to 25k each. Murica.

I was lucky enough to know people who crafted the specialty stuff for my mog house for free. Still tipped even though I didn't have to. Sometimes it really helps to know people is all.

was 10k area before 3.1 on Brynhildr, then shot up to like 200k right after patch, before dropping back to 18k area around a month or so after 3.1. Just another spike for the new goods again. Should go back down after a month.

The HQ Crafted Trade-ins are part of the final quest right?

Yea 4x4 turn ins. Everyone doing relic will eventually need them to complete the quest.

4x4 hq turn ins, or Huge ammount of vanu/tokens/etc etc

The culinary item is selling for over 1 million. The other mats are holding between 500k-750k. No undercutting of of yet :)

It's both, not or. The HQ crafted items are required in addition to all the grinded token items.

And the crafters who try and charge millions for these items won't see a single piece of gil from me. Luckily, I have friends in my FC who are specialists in all of the crafts and are willing to craft these items for anyone who needs them.

The question is why are they buying them now? Who could be even remotely close to the final stage, 1 day in?

I have two Awoken weapons already and am currently on the last stage.

If you turned in a Zeta(s) all you had to do was a bunch of dungeons to move on to the final step.

You've completed two weapons already? How did you get all those Unidentifiable items so quickly?

So to Awaken a weapon do you need the Crafted HQ items?

No, to get the Awoken weapon, you complete steps 1 and 2. Step 1 is collect the crystals (atma) or turn in a Zeta to skip. Step 2 is to complete dungeons (10 I believe) in a set order. After this step, you have the i200 Awoken weapon. Step 3 is the final phase that requires the insane number of crafted items and unidentifiable tokens.

Ok, so my original question: Why would you buy or make these crafted HQ items now?

Well, I get what you're saying. Technically, you don't need them right now because no one has all 80 pieces of the unidentifiable tokens. To get the 4 main relic components for the last step, you have to trade the HQ crafted items AND the 80 unidentifiable tokens.

Some people have no patience though.

This is the confusing part, why spend 550K each ( pf on Ultros ) then in a month, when you can actually do the trade-in the HQ Crafted items will be a fraction of the cost?

Actually least for my server the prices are probably cheaper to buy now then when lot of people start buying them then it will be a higher demand and people will be able charge more and people will still pay.

Same thing I ask myself. Some people just got too much money and it always happens just like the "perfect" stuff. Might as well cash in while we are it

Looks like they finally tossed crafting a bone. Yes profitable and boring as heck to watch tv while a macro runs. TBH, I don't like it. Locked behind specialist? Fine, I have alts to take care of that and still don't like it. I am not making anything interesting. I craft to make gear or items that have a use. Crafting a 1 star item on a macro for turn in items is boring as F*&K and unrewarding. Will it make a decent amount of gil, sure but it is just plain boring and unrewarding compared to crafting of the past.
Thoughts, the turn ins should be one of each item HQ, not 4. Second it shouldn't be locked behind specialist as that only drives the cost up. Last, cause of the price on my server that the items are selling at, busy went back up from all the rmt. Relic should not make ppl have to use rmt to get their relic done. Slow clap SE, really Slow clap.

I know other servers are super expensive but the items on Balmung are selling dirt cheap compared to other servers and no one has to use RMT that just being lazy/impatient. If no one bought the ones selling it would lower the price to more reasonable amount. Not all the blame can be placed on one party.

Well, this has had an additional source of revenue for crafters. It seems the new relic quest has brought back (at least to Coeurl) a lot of big spenders. So far the 2 star base mats, crafted mats, and crafting gear have been selling for w/e price they were listed at. Most of the buyers I recognize, as they used to always buy w/e items were new first. These players are run sellers and leaders of run selling LS/FC that I know. It was quite a surprise to see these inactive players buying out the MB so they could gear up their crafters after being inactive for months.
