Gathering & Crafting AF?

So I was wondering if there is any for these classes? I have seen some things drop in dungeons that look like they might be material for maybe a chef's hat and apron but I'm unsure. Can anyone help? :)

Yeah there are, generally they're crafted and greens except for the main tool, which is a blue.

There is AF gear for all gathering & crafting classes, though in order to get them they have to be crafted themselves. From what I can gather, its Weaver and Leatherworker that can craft the sets and the level 50 final class missions gives you your AF tool.

Is there a way to make just one set of gear for all my crafting at 50. Instead of multi melding a set for each id like to just do it once.

You can if you wished to, I know there's a level 50 crafting set weaver can make called Patricians that has some materia slots.

Whether doing it that way is better than getting each crafter's individual af, I haven't a clue but it's possible if you wanted to do that.

The blue weapon I am guessing is the one gotten from doing the achievements, Axe of the Luminary?

No, that is a separate option that has the exact same stats as the main hand tool you get for finishing your level 50 craft quest - just a slightly different graphic.

You really want to get the HQ versions of each and every set of 50 crafting AF that you intend to craft on; they are massively better than any generic option, and even the NQ makes it difficult to reach the numbers needed to craft the post-50 items. It's not a cheap process.

So Axe of the Luminary is not worth using?

Well, it's not worth doing the achievements for if your aim is to upgrade your tool from what you get at 50, no. It is equal best with the weapon you get from the 50 quest.

I just like doing the achievements myself, gives me something to do. I think once vanity slots are up it might be fun to have around.

It is not. If you want the best you have to go with individual class specific sets for each craft. Other than that the options are Patricians set or a combination of that and a HQ Dodore Doublet. It will be extremely difficult to hit the required craftsmanship and control required to make the highest level recipes with a universal set and it will require forbidden melding.

That is disappointing but at least I have an answer. If it takes 5 meld patricians to get close that isn't exactly easy either. Most of the discusions I've seen require double to triple meld material to get enough for two star recipes. Even having to do it multiple times would probably still be easier than 5 meld patricians.
