I70 Crafting hands you think it's worth it?

[Sakasa]

As of 2.35 a new crafting hands was introduce I can only assume for rank 7 ixali.

Overall max meld vs it it seems to be +3 control -3 cp not a huge increase but still an increase as -3 cp is a small lost. It will take a bit of a grind to get it daily quest lockout and all but if you don't have fully melded hands this might be a decent gil saver.

Thoughts?

Seems nice, I don't have all hands fully melded .

And it will save space in armoury

Edit : and I ll get some materia back from converting the gloves

It means converting 8 i55 hands to tier 3 or 4's, sure I'll go for that.

3cp is better than 3 control in my book.

Maybe not so worth it for serious crafter. We do value CP too. Besides, hand melding only has like 1 overmelding, that's 3 melds on it.

Would be useful when I haven't max-melded all my DoH hands. ^^;

Pre 2.3 max meld setup for making 2* or 3* craft requires tight amount of CP. Even with new 2.3 accessories & belt doesn't make CP usage any easier.

[Alistaire]

Yeah, oops, didn't notice that. 3 control for the loss of 3 cp is garbage; there's a reason CP food is the best.

Best bet is to hope it's an oversight and the i70 gloves are supposed to have 3 cp as well; submitted a bug report hoping it's that.

[ServerCollaps]

even if they dont spend 3 cp they ease crafting 3 star recipes with the lvl 55 tool, so they are welcome for me and everyone with the same intention

Converting i70 and now i90 items dont guarentee IV materia. So i wouldnt count on seeing any IV's with i55 gear.

Except that change specifically said it was a change only for i70+ gear. So i45-55 converting to tier 4 is unchanged.

While i pray that you are right about this, i hava a feeling obtaining IVs is an i90-110 thing now. Perhaps preparing for 2.4 patch when they release craftable i100.

Yes it said it was specifically i70 but why would that effect i90 then?
