Do you think we will get to upgrade this gear? Seeing how its dyeable, it made me wonder if that is the end of the line, or do they have a 330-340 upgrade incoming at some point?

So I take it no one has any ideas on this either. I suppose what makes it hard is we have seen a few changes in the way it was done in ARR and HW, so it makes it impossible to predict what will happen in 4.xx.
Well, I think most of us just... don't know...
In any case, I don't really like the styles of the i300 anyway... I personally liked the HW ones a lot more...
The scrip gear will eventually be augmented would be the logical conclusion. Likely using a one star collectable as part of the trade in.
Probably not. I hope they fix glam system though cause i want to glam i300 scrip gear on my i325 stuff per crafter
Nobody knows but my guess is that yes it will be upgradeable by next big patch in which we will also get a set of Scrip Accesories/Belt/OH and new crafted Accesories/Belt/OH.
But this is just speculation, wait for Yoshi and look forward to it! :p
Side note to any crafter that likes the HW set. If you have room, (big IF here) I would suggest buying your favorite HW set off the mb in lieu of the glamour over haul in 4.2. They are very cheap on the mb because of quick ventures right now. :)
They did in HW. You could upgrade the set gear.
IKR? I LOVE the HW goldsmith set. I was so sad when the ironwork set came out because I had to stop wearing my goldsmith gear. :'< I'd have them all look like that set if I had a chance.
Don't know but I'm gonna get all of them. Yoshida said that player wishes for the new glamour system are mostly all fulfilled, so I'm putting my money on that it's an overhaul that detaches glamour from actual gear pieces, making it possible for each class to have its own look if not multiple looks while all wearing the same shared gear.
I hope it won't be better than the current left side. I really don't want to farm the set for every craft. Weapon were long enough.
I really do not see much use for the scrip gear, to be honest. Its not hard to craft the gear, and then meld it to be better than scrip gear. Its also not hard (though time-consuming, I’ll admit) to craft stuff to sell to make enough money to buy the crafted gear, if unwilling to level the requisite crafting class. Ultimately, it is cheaper and faster to become an omnicrafter and just shift Specialists around to craft it all yourself. Which, once more, leaves no real place for the scrip gear.
It's mostly for aesthetic purposes I think, which is still a valid reason to obtain scrip gear. For HW, even though augmented scrip gear was inferior to penta melded crafted gear, you still qualified for three star recipes without any help from specialists/food/FC buffs. Basically, you can still get the job done, but it was more difficult due to lower stats, which really just teaches you how to improvise better as an omnicrafter. That's what I did as having unique looks for each crafter is VERY important to me.
Hopefully with the next patch, crafters can aim to craft and meld the best gear and also glam the scrip gear of their choice for multiple classes on that single set, and then pitch the scrip gear to save space.
The current scrip gear is only useful for farming more red and yellow scrips. I have the complete weaver set and because I gave up so many materia slots with it I'm forced to give up CP cap and forbidden meld just to meet minimum requirements on 2 star. It's pretty pointless gear.
I do hope they get upgraded and somewhat usable. It's frustrating when I spent all hw preparing materias and half is depleted for just 1.5 set. I think they got this the other way around. Both should have same stats (fully melded and scrips), let the crafted one be the more appealing aesthetics for hardcore crafters. As casual crafters I only do yellow scrips here and there for yellow scrips mats, plus saving all the red scrips for materias.
