    And on what basis are you saying they will be cheap?

    And I bought 12 VIT 4s and 2 Savage Might 4s about a week ago expecting a profit of about 1mil. We'll see how fast they actually sell....

    EDIT: I will post those if i can get my desktop streamer working while I am out of the house.
    The stats vary depending on the accessory, its not the exact same for all pieces like the ruby/topaz accessories were.

    The accessories are cheap to craft because they only use 1 of the new crafting material: Allagan Catalyst. There are many ways to get this material:

    1) Drops from a chest in ST and CT
    2) It's a guaranteed reward for a one time quest and is also a guaranteed reward for a weekly quest along with Carboncoat (do all 3 CT raids per week to get it)
    3) You can acquire it by desynthing high level battle gear.

    With all the methods of obtaining this material, the price of this material should be quite low. The other mats are platinum ingots, gems (rubies, topaz, etc), and battlecraft Demimateria III. BCIII spiked up in price today for obvious reasons but should settle back down to a manageable price. You need 2 BCIIIs per accessory. I think there's some cashmere material used for the choker, I'm not sure if that's expensive or not.

    I think if you wait towards the end of this week and have a good friend that's a 4* GSM (or are one yourself), the accessories can be had for a relatively reasonable price. The real cost is in melding them. VIT IV materia is blowing up in price because of this. STR IV will soon follow (if it hasn't already).

    Great info - thanks for sharing - yeah I bought 12 VIT 4s last week so I'm hoping the profit on those will partially fund this little endevour. I'm working on my melding strategy at the moment and will share once I figure out what I'm doing to come up with something very good but relatively cheap.

    God, I can't believe they didn't nerf these accessories. Perhaps they don't mind letting us feel like gods since the Heavensward gear reset is coming. STR IV has always been consistently cheaper than VIT IV on my server, so I think that I'll end up melding the Fending accessories again. So what if I miss out on some DET... I'm gaining way too much STR to care!

    EDIT: VIT IV is 500k and STR IV is 40k. I think my path is clear!

    It's available from the same guy that gives you the WoD quest after you complete WoD for the first time I believe.
