Skipping Darklight?

It's like every little thing in the whole game is deliberately designed to push players away from buying crafted gear or something.

Heard people talking that crafting just seem to be a left over from 1.0

But crafted i70 gear is still better than darklight.
You can meld materia into it, you can dye it and it look better for the vanity system.

Seriously farm CT and hold out for that one item you want. RNG will leave you swimming in more Phil. Tomes than you know what to do with.

Ill skip DL for my alts and farm Myth tomes on my main (one piece shy of full Myth) to buy Myth gear for my alts.

This of course assumes the Myth cap removal in 2.2.

Yes.



No.

I think you are the only one to actually answer his question....

Crafted HQ I70 gear = same stats as the DL gear (may be a some slight exceptions), if you look, most, if not all the stats will line up to be the same.
You can also put material into the gear for a (Secondary Stat increase).

Is it worth your time or your gil? Seems everyone has their opinion about that... but, that is your prerogative.

It comes down to your resources. If you have the gil to buy the green or know someone who can craft it for you, it's arguably better than DL. You can meld materia to it to push it past DL, plus it just looks better. I'm sorry, but DL is ugly as s*^%.
