Amount of HQ items RIDONCULOUS!

[Atreides]

I doubt they intended for people with mediocre gear to be able to 100% HQ the "most difficult" synths in the game with all NQ materials. They want HQ materials to matter and they want gear and skill to matter. They need to change abilities or add more difficult recipes.

But you cannot craft the "most difficult" reciepes in the game with "mediocre" gear, there are certain requitments to even attempt the crafts.

I think the point was that you don't need to be stat capped or even close to 100% HQ. The requirements for most rotations are around 360 CP and 340 Craftsmanship/Control. These numbers can be achieved with less than 100k spent on melds total.


Depending on the mainhand you use, the food you use, and the offhand melds you opt for you can reach up to 394 CP (408 if you count Comfort Zone), 418 Craftsmanship, and 389 Control (can't have all 3 this high at the same time though). The stats you need to HQ anything aren't low but they are a far cry from the best.

Edit - you might be able to squeeze out 3 more CP but I'm not positive.

Not on Odin server at least.

Can you list exactly what materia you are using per item/slot to do this please?

You're right, I forgot about all the accessories lol.

When I got my first craft to 50 I spent a ton to cap all the offset pieces because I knew they would be used with all subsequent classes. I was only thinking about the cost to hit those stats when I hit 50 with a class now.


Sargatanas might have unusually low prices as well but I have nothing to compare them with. We have a couple obvious RMT retainers selling 50+ grade III crafting materia of each kind at all times (the same retainer also tries to sell massive stacks like 80 Savage Aim III for next to nothing every day...). Their presence and the supply surge over the weekend drives Command III down to 15-17k and Cunning/Competence III below 8k routinely. Cunning III was actually under 6k a few days ago.

Nenin This is Alphi! I need to get a hold of you ASAP. Can you log into the game soon? You'll understand the problem when you check the FC Menu!

I've made characters on other servers, more just to see the markets than play the server. Sargatanas Markets are very well stocked markets. It's a buyers market for sure. Anyone who wants to be a market mogul would be smart to avoid Sarg. Right now the only things that can make you solid Gil are Philo, shark Oil and a few other items with a high grind factor. I prefer it this way. I can get deals on Sarg I just don't see on other server.
