Any chance we may get i70 or i90 crafting gears in the near future?

Hasn't anyone thought about a new "relic-like" primary tool that you get when you trade-in:
- i55 quested blue relic [ Tool ]
- i55 ground [ Tool ] of the Luminary
- i70 Artisan's [ Tool ]

Maybe this is it? Or just a main/off-hand mistake...

We just *got* a new primary tool in 2.2 that is a pain to grind for :/

The next piece of gear introduced couldn't replace DoH class specific gear like the offhand?

My thoughts exactly, could have quoted a bunch of people with the same thought. I'm behind, I know.

One thing that bugs me is as I obtain higher level crafting tools (whether the ones I have now or high level in the future), I think these tools should allow for those who have/use them, to auto-synth 1-Star items. None of us need HQ twin or hippo leather, etc., so it would sure be nice to auto-synth those items if we chose to.

well... I have no problem doing 1* manually, plus I can use it toward those HQ achievements. XD

I don't understand the need for newer mainhand weapons for the DoH/DoL. We just grinded for those a few months ago in addition to the helm. I think what people would like to see are offhands or perhaps other armor pieces that share across multiple professions to free up armory space.

What they said. We just got primary tools... I'm not grinding tools for all my craft jobs again every three months to make inferior gear that barely sells. This is similar to how I had to put the newest miner tool on my retainer (plus meld gear) just to do the high level explorations, and it returns with garbage. I'm not grinding another of those either. Cmon SE I hope that was a typo...

Obviously you could still choose to make HQ manually. I just want the auto-synth option. And hey, you used to be on Sarg?

[BobbinT]

yep. ex-Sarg here.

Stayed like 3 months only. Moved because latency quite unbearable. But I would like to return if latency got better though. ^^;

[Amnesia]

Well, from the patch notes, looks like we will be getting new primary tools. Seems crazy...

[BobbinT]

yup. The tool names also signify greater version of original AF we got from final DoH quests.

I only have 2 DoH i70 tool left to grind. Now that this has been confirmed, I'm not even sure if I should continue finishing the sets :?

[Archadius]

I'd imagine that this will be an upgrade to tools that involves some type of grind... I saw an item called "Antumbral Rock" (srsly screw you SE, HQ umbral rocks are bad enough to get 90 of). I don't think SE will make the AF and Forager's/Artisan's tools all for naught though, you probably need to trade them to an NPC, plus doing the grind for "Antumbral Rock" (or equivalent) and some sort of quest of course.

The recipes all are going to involve the things we just made for the Artisan recipes. Search through them you'll see things like Concentrated Spirits of Salt, or Reinforced Spruce Plywood. Descriptions also read things like "Two pieces of plywood put together."

So start prepping for the fact that we'll be having to make those 2 stars first all over again and then probably the recipe for the new ones will be 3 star and therefore require you to have the ilvl 70 weapons as is.

I'm spending the entire weekend gathering mats and making the gazillion rose gold nuggets, darksteel nuggets etc. so I have at least that step out of the way.
