Patch 3.4 i250 gear - weapon only or both weapon and armor?

I have been trying to confirm whether i250 player crafted gears include armor or just weapons - I didn't see it from the TGS feed - did anyone see any mentions of i250 player crafted armor at all?

Thanks!

Yes they said in the end that it will be both armor and weapons.

Did they confirm the iLevel?

Unclear but 250.

Such a marvellous armor
And those materia spot

But

Whose wearing that armor
It's a "slaying" armor ? So str based dps ?

That image is of a special version of the gear that will be able to be gotten from Wondrous Tales, the "SP" version. The regular crafted version will presumably not have 5 materia slots, since 5-slotted "SP" Ironworks gear was also shown as a reward from Wondrous Tales.

And it's Dragoon armor.

The mismatched Def and MDef show it to be Dragoon armor. That many open slots, though, that has me wondering : are people other than tanks/casters getting gear that prevents wearing a hat? The only current 4 materia slot gear is gear that takes both head and body slots (casters/tanks) or both legs and feet slots (tanks only). Is this going to be such?

tbh, i think the live letter build wasn't finished and we won't get those 5 guaranteed slots in the actual patch. why do i think so? cause in the live letter under the rewards for wondrous tails he also showed ilv190 crafting/gathering gear (which we already have in-game) but it also had 5 materia slots.

I expect it to be horrible hard to get the 5 materia melding garanted slot to obtain

Otherwise i would be so mad
Because it Would kill crafting purpose

I think it won't be obtainable without tilme and challenge

The 5-slot i250 gear and crafter gear is from Wondrous Tales. According to Yoshi-P, he expects only a couple of people, per server, to get those rewards every week. So it shouldn't have much of an impact on the markets. Of course, only time will tell, haha!

I prefer that they bind the item to the player
Those kind of item should not be sold on MB

I am just curious about what items will be needed to make new crafting recipes. Will they be bought with tomestones?
Or gotten from The Diadem? (I hope not)

I think that is the question most of the crafters are pondering about atm.

It's gonna be brutal if some of the old mats are needed ._.

If i'm not Wrong 3.4 is the beginning of diadem rework
With the introduction of gathering diadem (team of gatherer i mean)

So high chance of new node in diadem

I hope this is true, I loved gathering in Diadem before it died off.

Also the materials needed could be favour materials? unless that idea has been scrapped completely

or Folklore books!

If favour it's gonna be hell of a fun !
We can expect very very high price for stuff

Folklore book
If current would be easy, with or without new node
If new... Then little time before getting them and work... Possible but less likely

My bet on diadem since it's middle bother, everyone have access to it and can be farm day 1

I am praying they are not going to use the Battlecraft Demimaterias for the i250 crafteds....

I kind of hope they do.
I have a lot saved up and very little use for them.

But I am half expecting replica allagan accessories in Goldsmithing soon, so I am saving them up for that!

I wouldn't mind favor system or folklore books again. I like to gather alone, and I don't know how I feel about joining a party to go to Diadem to gather.

They need to make Battlecraft Demimateria II useful for something current. There's too much of it floating around and not enough to do with it. III's have current use, so no big deal if they get skipped.

You were wrong, I wish you had been right. Instead we got a DoW/DoH ONLY Diadem & gatherers have to make do with the old one. Probably still the same monster issues too. =(
