Nuggets or ore, please make up your mind SE!!

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/recipe?q=Darksteel+Ingot&rtgt=0&classId=C&rankId=6

Why the nuggets again, why not just ore?

Hmm, rose gold, spruce, peacock ore, and clusters oh my!

Perhaps they thought the first 50 levels could serve as an introduction to easy-mode crafting, and after lvl 50 it could be more hardcore/inventory-killing like in the old days.

New darksteel armour looks cool.

Armouror
Blacksmith
Goldsmithing
Tanner
Weaver
Alchemy
Carpenter
Culnarian

There are other item but they have no pictures yet.

Finally a use for clusters o/

Interesting. Would the first part be bought from company? Or quested?

You mean the flawless mats? Yeah was wondering about that myself as theres no recipe for that...same with the armor...

There is also no recipe for: Hyppogryph leather and Rose Gold Nugget, so maybe those are mob drops too...

Maybe there is no naturally forming dark steel and it can only be made?

Well I assume the leather would be from the Hyppogryph skin, as far as the nuggets you would think it would be from ore.

How does one make it "Flawless" though? The plot thickens. Maybe HQ...? Confusion.

Ahh yea I didn't notice that.

I'm guessing that all the recipes aren't up on the lodestone yet, because if you look at carpenter and weaver they have parts but no actual items to use them with.

We were talking about the Flawless mats

Maybe you have to grind the component 1000 times, and in true S.E. style, another 10,000 times for good measure, and finally when you've done that, you can talk to an NPC who lets you make "Flawless" versions.

Yea I didn't realise til looking again, HQ I guess, they did say the items are very hard to make in the lodestone post.

Okay, after assessing the situation, I think it's most likely Flawless components will require an HQ. Afterall, I don't think they would have made the components recycle back into their materials if you weren't going to be wasting a ton of them.

lol @ Heavy Darksteel Armor, makes the dungeon one not looks so unique ; ;

Dungeon ones have pikachu tail ears though. Not sure if that's a good thing, though.

There doesn't seem to be a synth to turn weapon parts into flawless ones, so I presume that is the part that requires company intervention

Here are all the recipies containing what seems to be new materials. Am i missing any?

Darksteel
Rose Gold
Peacock Ore
Coke (ahhh, refreshing)
Hippogryph Leather
Animal Fat
Spruce Lumber

inb4 every paladin with white darksteel armor

Animal fat is an old recipe I think.

There is a good chance not all the recipes are up, Carpenter has materials for Pavis which is a shield, Weaver has materials for Decoy whatever that is.

Flawless materials sound like HQ items to me.

The post was titled wrong and has since been renamed, so I don't think the GC are that integral to the making of these items.

After the establishment of the Grand Companies, each city turned an eye to crafting quality arms and armor with which to outfit their respective forces. A growing number of adventurers can be seen clad in this official equipment as the Grand Companies continue to reward faithful service.
There are those, however, whose livelihoods have suffered from the availability of such equipment—the armorers and weaponsmiths who rely upon the custom of adventurers. These craftspeople began searching for a means to rival the companies’ superior wares, and eventually discovered their salvation in working with darksteel ore and hippogryph skin.

I am guessing that the flawless components are probably dropped from some where.

possibly a new stronghold that there putting in with this patch.

The 1 hamlet defense?

Lol @ Classes only being listed.

What a waste if that holds.

Yeah, at first I thought it must say that on every weapon, but if you check other weapons it will say Required: Class,Job not just Class. That really makes these items pretty pointless as there is no content where you will be playing as a class at lvl 50.

They made classes obsolete when they made Jobs, and then continued to make content for classes? It's hard to understand the rationale behind that.

The garlian strong hold mr premi.

Though after looking through the new recipes i am going to resend my previous statement. There is a listing for a darksteel breast plate to be used in the construction of the new heavy darksteel armor.

Question answerd. Flawless is a HQ synth (+1) of the item .

So the difficulty in making it is that if you NQ, tha part is useless. It has to be a HQ synth or you can't use the part to create the armour or weapons

Flawless is HQ result
Its Jade hora all over again >_<

Fixed it for you but ya I noticed that to, it's nice that the materials don't turn into junk if you can't HQ, you'll be able to turn them into materials that are used later on in the weapon synth.

Making the Nuggets from Darksteel Ore is Armorer craft and not Gold Smithing?!

DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!

My endless profits! I guess I'll still make a boat load of gil off selling the raw ore off miner but I was hoping Darksteel would be a GSM recipe so I could process them myself and sell it at a higher price.

I don't know whether to go out and gather when the patch hits or to do Garuda or to do Hamlet... too many options :S
