Are Red Scripts useless now?

What are Red Scripts uses now? WHats the best thing if any that you can do with these? What about Rowena's Red Scripts? No use for those either? *Sighs*

you still need red scrips to buy Goblin Cups, which are used to buy the upgraded version of i180 crafter gear and as far as I have seen, you still have to buy offhand tools with redscrips as well

Well but if you didnt buy any of the gears and you made your own or will buy one of the new crafting HQ gears sets..... then whats the use of red scripts? Useless?

There has been a claim that Glass Fiber farming can be relatively easy with the use of blue scripts and desynthing. Mind you that the sample rate here is still small, but it looks promising enough to give it a try:

"Each piece of gear only costs 3 Blue Gathering Scrip Tokens + 1 Type-1 Counterfoil."

You can only "sigh" if you drop the 't'.

Not even this >.> I got other means to get Sands... like a pile of old Moonstones that were rotting in my storage for ages.

They are still used for gear like offhand tools and still used now for upgrading those gears.

Your question was answered, though - there are MANY uses for Red Scrips. If none of them apply to you, well, that's your decision to make.

You've been given a couple of potential uses, but you keep shooting peoples suggestions down, so I don't know what you're expecting here...

Yes, they are useless!! Does that make you feel better? :/

I'm going to augment all the red scrip gear i got for my gathers with reds. I've made tons of money gathering and didn't need to do any melds. They added 180 level gather jewelry and belt this patch which is also bought with reds. Basically a time investment. I'm at 210/450 reds this morning already on reset.

Hmm Well it seems for Gatherer Red Scripts are still nice. After all there was no crafted gear before this patch so everyone had to work for the i180. The Augmented ones seems quite strong an OP for the current nodes. They didnt add anything that i170 couldnt. But Crafting red scripts its another story.

Red Scipts -> Crafter/Gatherer Materia IV

Or are they also useless for you?

Well I'm using mine to upgrade my gathering gear.

I do have about a hundred red scrip TOKENS that need a use now, though.
Don't worry, I can find a use for them.

If you don't need the materia or can't desynth the i180 gear, and you haven't finished your folklore collection, you can convert them to blue scrip tokens and do the latter.

If you have them all, I guess you can level desynthing, since i180 gear can desynth into glass fibers (used for the crafted i190 stuff)

Have all my folklore...I also have a good stock of Materia so I don't really need that.
I don't craft, at all....so.

Some of my friends who do craft need a few favours done though, so I'll get off my butt and do those for them. And I guess I can turn a few into Blue Scrip tokens when I run out of poetics to fund my relic but....
it just took so long to gather that many, yanno? Oh well it's not like i'm not used to capping every week.

Hmm Desynthesis can generate some money I guess. Materias Grade IV meh the prices went to the floor with the new quest and Ixali's etc so now they are quite affordable with gils. If only they would let use buy Grade V >.<
