    I'm currently still wearing melded i110 accessories because I respect the idea of balance over sacrificing ridiculous amounts of survivability or damage to make the other one ever so slightly higher. They provide 39 "main stat" points per accessory which will beat out any non-crafted gear I can wear until I can get a full i190 right side. My raid group's resident crafter is nearly a level 60 Goldsmith though and he's planning on hooking me up with i150 accessories because they're apparently dirt cheap to make and Grade IV materia prices are in the toilet on my server. Win win, I'd say.

    Regarding secondaries, they're literally whatever is on my gear right now. We don't yet have the luxury of significant choice in our stats as there is only one highest item level set at the moment.

    Regarding why the crafted accessories aren't popular, I can think of a few reasons why this is the case:

    1. Hope that i160+ crafted accessories are released alongside Alex Savage.
    2. High stat caps require copious Grade IV melds. Shudder.
    3. A general belief that crafted gear is no longer viable due to how far behind the currently obtainable pieces(item level wise) are behind the highest raid-tier rewards.
