Future of DoH Gear and Master Recipes

[Kenji1134]

So are there any plans to add new DoH gear, either 3 star crafted, or via more token grinding. Similarly are there any plans to add new recipes, namely for Alchemist, who only gets Terminus Putty, and for Culinarian, who got 4 foods, 3 of which are really kinda "meh", unless you are a skill/spell speed junky.

One solution might be to add new general gear, like Artisan's Spectacles, but with a single materia slot.
Hell, make the new set require 3 star tokens, with the same durability, difficulty, and quality as the current 3 star items. Lets say we need to make 25 for each item, including all accessories and belt.

So crafter progression would be: Finish your class quests for the class MH. Get everything to 50. Pretty much meld every piece of player-made crafting gear to the stat caps. Grind out 50 tokens for the Mainhand.
Then grind out 25 3 star tokens X 12 slots... Three HUNDRED 3 Star Tokens... to buy an "Omnicrafter" set.
Finally, we take the Omnicrafter set, and since it'll be I70, can spend weeks attaching some absurd amount of grade 4 materia to each piece, failing time after time on 20%, 10%, and 5% success rate overmelds...

And once the tears are dry... you can craft ANYTHING.
I mean seriously, this would be a monstrous undertaking for anyone. Once this is done, you should have access to a 100% HQ rotation to do any 3 star, and maybe throw in some new 4 star lvl 100 recipes that REQUIRE A COIL DROP, but produce I110 gear, with slots.

similar idea to mine about fully melded i55 crafted gear on all classes. to trade in all sets for one new cross class gear set that's meldable... the only thing I didn't add was the extra token step requirement. oh and no headgear since we have new specs already.

lol I agree with your idea.!!!

So another words, DoH still MUST depend on DoM/W to make their endgame work, while DoM/W don't? Something doesn't sound fair here.

you don't need dow/m to get end game gear for doh/l

I take it you mean spirit-bonding for materia which of course any class can do.

if you mean the sale of goods to those classes then that's exactly what we are suppose to be doing. oh and are doing. (to a degree)


hippogryph skins may be an issue but you could kill hippogryph's with dol... lol maybe

Interesting, we just got new tools and new head gear and you're already looking for more?

[chidarake]

nobody said a time frame, but you have to agree we need some jewellery as some is to low ilvl compared to rest of the gear.

Unless the dungeon is done by the said class, this suggestion to me means it MUST depend on lvl'g up non-related DoW/M classes, that, is unfair in term of class leveling. As of now, DoM/W already can obtain their iL110 gears w/o needing ANY DoH/DoL classes, while it is not true when it comes to DoH/L.

it's a very old argument to pull up about dow/m not needing crafters.

I don't see how it matters anyway as most (not all) people have at least one dow/m levelled anyways.

time to get back on topic...

if SE wanted to introduce a full set like this I don't think we will see it anytime soon.. as it kind of says there done with crafting by having one cross class set that allows us to do everything. . I would really like to see it happen but then I've also stopped crafting for the most part. (I would keep my gear current though)

Please, show me ONE iL90+ gear a crafter can make?

I know tons of DoM/W that are geared with iL110s. Result = crafters aren't needed.

attackat.

true i90 needs dow/m but I was under the impression you meant crafting gear not dow/m gear.

that's kind of a mute argument though since the whole point of crafting those items is to sell to those classes, and yes they have other options rather than purchasing gear.
the point of them supplying us with materials to make those items is for balance in the game.

however it can still be said that you don't need them since retainers can now bring back a lot of what any crafter would need via gathering or exploration ventures. now admittedly that is a daunting prospect but it shows crafters can get anything they want without the aid of other classes. its just locked away by a massive wall of rng and luck.
