    Near Future New DoL Gear Possibilities?

    My main is a DoM, picked up DoL a few weeks ago, level capped, got the next best DoL tool (demimateria for the next tool is uber expensive so have to wait a bit on that), etc. I am wondering if the Developers had any plans on providing the next set of clothing/jewelry (less Dodore items we got - love these) above what we can obtain via crafters?

    how on earth you managed to level up a DOL to 50, fully meld it to gather 1-2 stars items, got 90 of them, and got your forager hat&tool in so little time? @_@

    Its not that hard if you have 99 leves and gil. Can level a crafting/gathering class to 50 in a day or 2 with 99 leves to use. And then gearing is just a matter of gil same goes for melding. Getting the ore/logs needed for the i70 gear you can get at least 1 (show all items +gather for 100% hit 4 times +100% HQ skill) an hour if you assume 18 usable hours (school vacation did just end) that is 18 a day which means you could get all the ore/logs needed in 5 days.

    Getting the i70 tools really doesn't take that long if you are hitting the node every time it is up.

    it's not the leveling up, it's more on the melding side xD
    spiritbonding takes a lot of time, unless you have millions and directly buy everything...
    maybe I should stop buying every beast tribe mount @_@

    I bought most of the materia that is on my miner or collected it over time with no real goal in mind. I'm still not fully melded but I'm high enough to get the ores. I just took a detour to level my crafting jobs so now I need to recoup gil so I can rebuy the materia that broke on during melds. But now I'll probably just SB for the materia they have made it pretty easy to SB ~45-50 gear now and I can just sell anything I don't need and buy the ones I do.

    Nobody's ever quite sure what the next major patch will bring in terms of gatherer slot upgrades, just that it almost certainly will.

    Given that we just got a set of new craftable upgrades I'd expect the next set of gear to be main pieces from a quest this time around (a Body/Gloves/Pants/Legs upgrade ala Artisan's Specs)

    I am going to bet on craftable, meldable iL70 off hand tools.

    Overmelding has got to be the greatest way to keep us broke.

    I hope they continue the road of the last 2 patches and provide us with items superior to the existing ones but without a need to overmeld them. Makes things a lot easier. I play since a Year and still have 3 slots on my off-hands @ 7% chance I can't get done because 7% ain't that much.
