Best way to spend red script tokens?

I have bunch of tokens because I never wanted to do favors. Now that favor mats much less useful/hard to get...whats the best way to spend the tokens?

I have 180 mh/oh and body with i150 rest on body and the i55 accessories.

Should I just get the 180 left side to augment later or ?

all the gear that was red scrip is now blue scrip tokens. you can trade the red scrip tokens for blie. 1 red = 4 blue. you just need the counterfoil.

main hand is 12
hat is 4
body is 8
legs and feet are 3 each.
that is what i remember.

just need to grab the counterfoils and you can easily grab the AF2 gear for crafting and gathering.

I had 99 RGT before the patch. I've since been spending them by converting them to BGT and then buying i180 gear for my retainers as I get the collectibles to turn in for the counterfoils.

Once I've got my 5 gathering retainers outfit with that gear, the rest will be converted on an as-needed basis for relic sands.

Getting the 180 gear to use til i craft should be servicable?

Unless you're dying for melds of some kind (GP maybe??? I guess if you want 700+ but it's unnecessary) you don't really need the craft to gather anything.
It may get you a heads up in the future though.

you can also trade it for materia an overmeld the 190 gear or sell it

The off handers are still got with red scrip tokens. If you don't have those or better ones yet, it's is a good place to use the red scrip Rowena tokens you have stashed, since now you want to use your red scrips to the new token types, the cups and the dices.

As for in which order to augment your items with the new token types. For gatherer it's pretty easy.
Upgrading the weapon is +36 gathering and +21 perception for 15 tokens.
Upgrading Body, Pants and Boots is +37 gathering, +31 perception and +6 GP for 15 (9+3+3) tokens.

So the adage of upgrading main hand first is not necessarily the most correct one there. Note the values for upgrade benefit are counted from the ex-red scrip gear. If you have crafted and melded ones the numbers will vary.

I messed up as seen Augmented gear and oh shinied...
I should have saved red scripts for my offhand instead of upgrading the pants i believe

If you don't have stashed up Rowena Red scrip tokens, as of the moment it might be better to get crafted of hand. The materials for them are still behind gathering favors, but now the favors need blue scrips instead so they are reasonably easy to acquire.

Ahh thanks for that info.
Are the stats not slightly lower on the crafted though?
I glanced over it once i believe and had not wanted to pay over 1 mil for an offhand at the time, lol

Just got miner to 60 yesterday, should I save the red scrips for the offhand or upgrade the 180 stuff?

I would go for the offhand tbh.
I made the mistake of upgrading the pants, while it was by no means bad i think having the offhand would have been better

Main hand, off hand and body are the three biggest upgrades stat wise, so if you still have the old i140 off hand, upgrading to the i180 would be a huge jump in your stats.

Oh the crafted version? If that's what you're talking about, it doesn't take red scrips.

Personally, I plan on getting the i190/i195 for my own use, and the i180 upgraded to i200 for my retainers' use.

Crafted are faster and easier to get so I might do like Roth and stuff retainer with script stuff... didn!T think of that
Good point
