What are you smoking really...Pre-patch on Shiva there was no flood of IVs in fact prices of a single DET/CRIT IV were 50 times higher than III. Philo mats arent exactly abundant and it got to ridicilous point where crafting i90 is actually cheaper than i70 if you actually invested in your crafting gear to be able to make them.

Even if you can SB slightly faster and from say full jewelry set i70 you get 3x Elemental III + 2x Mainstat IVs = worth it right? Id suggest to go SB as much as you can get thoset SA/SM IVs and fail a couple whether its on i90 gear or Novus scroll then well talk.

Unless youve found youreself a reasonable way to make money then things got helluva harder for you especially if youre not invested into crafting doh.
Personally id like to see/hear SE explain reasoning behind this change specifically. As if we dont have enough Grinding to do...Atma/Animus/Novus materias for scrolls/weekly ST if youve got bad RNG.
Anyone want to bet what the next relic step will be?>.<
