Don't understand making weapons when quests give them?

AF was the worst...


That was the point where I turned around to me BF and said "WOW so they like.. just give you be best gear 45-50, and all I had to do was check a few points on map.. took like 5 mins" It was so easy it felt broken...


I think Yoshi's Idea was that he wanted everyone to start 50 with a "decent" set of gear, so nobody was going gimp into the dungeons.. But.. the handholding, and done without any thought of how killing all the 45-50 recipies would affect the game is pretty shocking...

Basically killed Felt/Cobalt gear in one swoop.. Highly disappointing.

Do those low level quests give you endgame gear with materia attached to it? No? Okay, I think we're good.

I'm actually running a test right now.. I've put up some amazing double/triple melded gear for a decent price considering the work/number of materia that blew up and I keep lowering the price until one sells... 3 days in now...

Nobody in their right mind is going to waste the money it's worth to buy up melded gear for the price in... especially with the gear already capped at the best stats...


The whole system is just a mess.

LOL, I'm not really seeing anything outside belts/rings/neck that are worth spending money on until Militia at 55.. You can HQ, double/triple meld some of the 45-50 gear.. which will promptly be completely obsolete by the time you waste the money needed to land the last meld.


I haven't finished all the AF quests yet, by for PLD I literally just had to go click 4 points close together in the same zone, and would get armor on each on point.
Made me miss 1.0 and the somewhat challenging group fights where at least I felt I earned my AF

So true lol I have dark heavy set melded and pretty much all my i70 weapons melded but I mean for the time it took I could have just bought darklight and did primal battle for weapon..well i also have darklight and primal weapons but thats besides the point.
