Item Synthesis "Coke" and more

Did anyone find the location, or whereabouts of the NPC or the method of obtaining said item in phase 4, or was it simply not implemented yet. As well i noted that the weapons that before needed the HQ only items no longer need them, the synth reads that the NQ item can be used as well. Does that mean that we can use the normal grips, blades, exe that are crafted to complete the weapons, or was it a typo.

There is a thread somwhere with the locations of the vendors. You buy them with Tombstones of something or other.

The special crafting materials (Coke, Potash, etc.) are sold in Revenant's Toll, Mor Dhona. And like Endless mentioned, you can buy them with the same currency as the Darklight gear which you can get by turning in gear with cracked materia. I assume the currency will also drop in high-level dungeons~

I sure hope it does drop in the high-level dungeons! Can't wait to find out how this all works!

Hmm that's slightly disappointing, I was hoping they would make this very high levelled gathering materials.

I wonder if Vanya robe of healing is better than Darklight healing gear or vice versa :S.

Dark light is definitely better. Though Vanya of healing is better then AF, I believe it would make a nice entry level set if you're a crafter

Are you sure that none of those materials come from Unspoiled gathering nodes?
You know, the ones wherein there is only a random one avaiable every, what, 4 eorzean hours?

Hmm Think I will pass the Vanya then and aim straight for darklight, too bad really cause I prefer the look of vanya.

Vanya and Darklight both are iLvl 70, which means with materia both reach the same stat caps.

No... darklight robes are not better than HQ vanya robe and hat. Darklight robes look better because they have the helm stats included in them. HQ and stuff a vanya robe and hat with materia and they topple darklight, and the same goes for every single one of the ilvl70 crafted gears.

ilv 70 craftable +1 ~ DL gear , plus you can add extra stat via materia...

but well getting ilv 70 + 1 with penta mat gonna be hard

Quite sure. The Unspoiled Nodes you are thinking of carry the other top-class crafting materials, such as Crawler Cocoons and Gold Ore. That's a whole 'nother story..

Yeah, what the guy above me said.

Seems they already charted out pretty much everything the Unmolested nodes drop. They've got it outlined in this other thread;

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Level-50-Nodes

I really hope they balance this soon, it take 2-3 times the amount of stones to get the mats needed for 1 piece then it takes stones to get DL gear straight up.

Me and the FC did wanderer's palace and i got a whopping 50 tomestones total , 1 from first boss, 10 from second boss and 35 from last boss.

You need 9 materials from the vendor to craft one base material. So you need 9 animal fats to make 1 Hard Hippogryph leather. So lets say you wanna make the new Gryphonskin ring you need 2 of those so thats 18 Animal fats at a total of 2430 tomestones...

That highway robbery to me. No way anyone going to waste that many stones especially at the rate they drop.

You can get Darklight cheaper and a hundred times less hassle than any of the high level crafted things.

There are a lot more pressing issues at this moment, but this is something that i would like to see addressed.

The crafted gear however may be best used for resistence materia to beat future bosses...at least I hope resistances are required more for everyone.
