By the way, make you sure you don't marginalise crafters when releasing new gear

[giftforce]

It kind of defeats the point of:

A. having crafting/gathering classes
B. having a rich palette of colours for gear
C. an economy

if the best gear is:

A. all dropped from NM/instances
B. has one specific colour (making everyone look like they are in uniform)
C. reduces the economical trade and exchange of crafted goods and services

[_C-a-e-r-i-t-h_]

Considering how monotonous I mean craft-heavy the game currently is, I don't think marginalizing crafters is likely to happen anytime soon.

Isn't that's why they're making the Materia Craft System? Where's Peregrine when you need him? He'll argue that the crafters already have too much power.

And too much fun on top of that ^.^/

Materia system was in fact built from the ground up to assist crafters to get rid of their garbage that no player wants to buy. And yet they want more. They always want more. More more more more more more moar moar.

At least crafters are smart. Gatherers and battlers don't flop like crafters do to get what they want.

Ohhhhhhhhh hurrrrrrtttttt...buncha Lebrons!

tl;dr thread title

Beginning a statement with the words "by the way" means you are admitting to interrupting the current topic of discussion. That's rude. Don't do it.

The funny thing is that gifthorse isn't even banned. It was banned for like 2 weeks but that was a couple months ago lol.

I hope not...
But the first war garb is white and currently no leather is white, which means the war garb would most possibly be dropped from mob instead of crafted...and it's possibly R50 as currently we only have R45 Harrier's Jacket for ARC/PGL...
The second item looks like an Ornate Copper (or Electrum?) Scepter... possibly R25 (or R45+ if electrum)...And it seems that the item could possibly be crafted...
No idea about the shield...My only interested shield is Bladed Lantan.... ^^
