Future updates for crafters.

Dungeon Pink is just a drop in the bucket.

Go run Battlecraft, levequests for 40 or so points. I was doing it on a Whm and while I only got 2 pieces for Whm, I got a 40-41 Aetherial bow, Lancers halberd, Thaum weap, Mythril chest plate, DoW belt, helmet, gloves and nothing I craft can hold a candle to them. In addition I didn't need to roll on them. Just open the box.

If you prefer, head over to your GC officer. He has head to toe gear equal to HQ crafted and you will cap out on seals farming FATE runs anyway so use it up.

Hope for better with housing. Right now we are 550 levels of fluff.

Until you start getting iLVL70+ gear, literally everything crafted is better. The HQ versions have the same stats as their dungeon equivalents, but you can meld them, which effectively makes them outclass (very easily) the dungeon drops. I'm open to debate, but I am unsure that you will be able to find an example of gear below iLVL70+ that doesn't have a better crafted counterpart. And 2* HQ crafted gear beats the ever living hell out of GC gear.

The stats on Aetherial match HQ. The thing with Aetherial is, it often has 2 additional stats and those two additional stats don't comply with materia caps. You end up with a materia melded item but better.
