New crafting gear speculation?

The preliminary patch notes mentioned new items and there is a screenshot of them. But we don't know what they are.

Given that we already have yellow scrip crafting and gathering items, do you think they would introduce new crafting gear in this patch?

To me, the gear kind of looks like it could be crafting gear. Certainly doesn't look like combat gear!

What do you think?

They said new crafting recipe won't be more difficult than the current one, so new crafting gear would be useless.
Probably in 4.2 when we'll have a new ilvl cap

Yellow scrip crafting/gathering accessories. We “need” those before we can get new crafted crafting/gathering gear.

New gathering nodes and crafting recipes is probably just turn in stuff for the new custom delivery npc. As well as some new glamour and the new housing and barding stuff from new primal.

Thanks for all the responses!

That kind of puts me at ease now, since I wasn't quite ready for completely new crafting gear yet!

Basically, nothing too interesting yet, unfortunately... But hopefully, we get some cool furniture for our new shirogane houses to ease our itch.

Slightly topic related, but whoa, Artisan gear available from GCs. That's a lovely boost for new 50s (if I hadn't already gone through the crafting required to get most of it already...).

There's a brand new left side for both crafters and gatherers in your master (5) books. Main hands, too. Oh, and they're specialist exclusive. Lovely.

New Ala Mhigan left side crafting gear. Wondering about the augmented gear with 5 materia slots.

New Crafting/Gathering gears new difficulty:
Durability: 70
Difficulty 6377
Maximum Quality 28506

Nearly double what the current 2star needs to craft...

Main hands are also available.
All gears need either Fieldcraft III or Mastercraft Demimaterias

All left sides needs this new item:

All new tools needs this new item:
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...38ff3f/?patch=

Everyting is specialist Only. Alchemists: Rejoy

Edit: Stats needed to even start the craft (Unchanged):
Craftsmanship Required: 1320
Control Required: 1220

Looks like I need to be nice to my Alchemist friend in the FC. That maximum quality is quite a lot, though that mainly necessitates the usage of HQ materials.

Anyone know yet where to get Gyr Aba Alchemic and Azim Cotton Bolls?

Impressed they made the new recipes actually somewhat difficult. Goodbye macros, you're gonna need to take advantage of procs to get the most out of this.

Edit: Azim cotton is from a folklore node in azim steppe. Don't know about alchemic

The Augmented will come from Wonderous Tales if you ever get 3 lines :(.

New 70**, Difficulty = 6377, Max Quality = 28506, Duro 70. Combined with Fieldcraft Demi 3's and yellow script mats, welcome back challenging crafting!

Gyr Abanian Alchemic: 250 yellow crafters' scrips
Gyr abanian spring water: The peaks(Ala Ghiri), 10am, slot 1
Azim Cotton boll: The Azim Steppe(The dawn Throne), 12am, alot 5

P.S. Not sure if they spawn on a 12 or 24 hour basis so e.g. maybe the Gyr abanian spring water spawns at 10pm aswell. I'll double check soon.

You seem to be equating grinding with difficulty.

How so? No amount of grinding makes 28506 quality easier to reach if you already have the best gear.

Because this patch just jumped from 6-10 crafts for a single item to 20+. Unless they seriously jacked up the rate you get yellows. Just absolutely idiotic game design when combined with the return of specialist only.

Mind sharing rotation?

I thought I saw something about the new crafting gear not being allowed for advanced melding in the patch notes. Since you've got a full set of the stuff I figured I'd ask: can you advance meld it, and if not, does it end up being better than the old lvl 70 stuff when melded?

Yes you can advance meld (there's no indication that you can't), and base HQ chest piece is 417/131

Best gear in the game shouldn't be easily gotten.

Honestly I'm just going to craft the gear and not really use it right now. Considering I don't know what the 3-star recipes are going to be, I'm just not going to meld it yet.

I do have one question. I wasn't around for most of heavensworn's crafting. But I thought I remember that Specialist recipes tended to be available for all players after 1 major patch. Meaning, if I am NOT a Carpenter specialist, I cannot make the 325 Fishing MH weapon. However I'm guessing 4.2, that recipe will be available for all? Is this how Heavensworn specialist worked?

Edit:

I understand you can technically switch specialist with Red scripts so theoretically i could make everything but at a cost.

Hina - Yes, that was the basic pattern. The next patch would have a new batch of harder spec only recipes, and the old ones would fall off so anyone could attempt to make.

This is my first expansion in FFXIV and I'm a little bit confused with this release. Can we expect more recipes in 4.1 that will make this new crafting gear relevant? Currently I can HQ anything under the sun with my ilvl290 crafting gear. I had thought there was going to be higher ilvl combat gear to go along with this, but it's all just a handful of stuff that doesn't matter if it's HQ.

In any case it's worthwile making the gear if anything to just sell. People seem to be buying it, and it's fairly challenging to do. Then coming closer probably when Ultima is released that's when I'll be making my personal set with temporary melds. But these aren't too easy to HQ as you may have guessed, there's dozens of NQ gear on the board, and no real rotation from anyone yet because people still be milking profits before they let competition through. :)

What are we going to sell with the new release of ivalice?
The gathering gear requires a shot ton of rare mats and 750yellow script on average. So I don't see those being easily craft able in bulk like we can for the 290 gear or 320HQ

The new high level combat gear comes in the even numbered patches (4.2, 4.4) to coincide with new raid tiers. The release of the new crafting gear in odd numbered patches (4.1, 4.3) is to allow crafters to gear up in preparation.
