most crafted gears are glamor only atm.... kind of sad really because crafters should be able to make true end game gear maybe even add crafting quests for components to make legendary quality gears..

Crafting system in this atm is not that good and yet there's so much potential maybe even crafting one of a kind signature weps shields armors too...

Blue scrips are a level 60~ (technically 56+) currency that you can trade in to NPCs for items.
At level 50 you will get a special kind of gathering/crafting to obtain items that give you these scrips.
Red scrips are an upgraded version of them that are not yet ingame.

Current accessories are too low in ILVL to bother melding, make 170 and use the tier V materia, yea it'll be worth it; right now my warrior merely wears to strength accessories until something BETTER is released because them 150 accessories simply cannot hold any secondaries you want to any degree yet. You have 5 of em your secondaries are just a mess. I know damn well I will not settle for my 3.0 WAR with sub par CRIT and risk missing accuracy caps by melding all Strength IV materia onto each item.

My accuracy is 612 with melds, waiting for future accessories is a valid reason for holding out if you want to be thrifty but you are crazy if you think the loss of secondaries outweighs a gain of 139STR vs fending. Do you even know the stat weight of crit?

And im assuming my DoH job has to be 60 to obtain this currency?

You can first obtain them around level 56.

I was expecting (along with most other crafters) that level 60 1-star gear would be equivalent to the "law gear." Both 170. Crafted being slightly better with melds. But that i190 raid gear and presumably esoterics(?) would be better. That's a good model. It worked well in 2.0, 2.1, etc.

As of right now, there is absolutely no reason, other than glamour, for a player to buy crafted gear. They can't even use gear to help push their ilvl to 170 for alexander access.

I'm not saying crafted gear should be better, but it should have a valid place. Right now, MSQ gives all HQ gear while people are leveling to 60 (so no demand there) and then at 60, there is no value in i150 or the one i160 body pieces we can make since do 3 roulettes and you can get an i170 piece.

They really should've released full 1-star i170 gear to have some sort of value in crafted goods.

Do you even know how they revamped several stats, ironically 'crit' bring one of many

So are you saying that the loss of crit costs more DPS than the loss of 139 STR? Please show me the math.

Would also like to point out that 3 of the slaying crafted accessories already have crit for a total of 65 crit, bringing my total crit rate to 508, so crit would have to have higher weighing than STR point for point for that difference of crit being worth it.

Hahahaha I actually just checked, I LOSE 33 crit when switching to my full fending set, did you even check the stats of crafted gear or are you just mindlessly ranting? You just painted yourself into a corner because crafted has more crit.

Another edit: The only stat I actually lose is Det for 36 points. Now you have to prove that 36 det is worth more than 139 STR for your argument to work.

Are you saying I didn't enter alexander last night with my i150 crafted accessory set? It's fine if you want to ignore this is a thing you have nothing to lose but money.

An "accessory set" is not a "full crafted set", if your going to reply, at least read my posts.

On my server they currently sell for penuts and it's not worth my time to make them.

Alex NM is that easy, you would probably be better off in i190/i180 slaying accessories anyway.

The fact remains that for almost everything current crafted gear is Useless for DoW/DoM classes. The biggest gil maker from the new master books was Glamour and gatherer/crafter gears.

The latter pretty much makes current crafting a pyramid scheme, the first ones make some decent gil selling to the next ones, the later crafters end up broke because the prices have crashed due to the number selling them and less wanting them.
