3.05 Gear

[Cherie]

You probably shouldn't have expectations on battle class crafted. Yoshi-P made it clear that he doesn't want to see a repeat of FCoB, and the clear lack of crafted accessories (for you to abuse VIT) is one big signal.

Yea but he has done it twice already... But just delayed it seems. When 2.0 came out, the crafted accessories were available right away. Second coil I don't believe we had them(edit: no we got them later). Third coil they were back in a new version.

But you are absolutely right, that's what people use them for, vitality. Well, correction, that's the 2nd most popular use. First most popular use is for warrior/dark knights to have accessories that lets them off tank and do dps. But yea, second most is people that want more hp. In the end though, when people get tome/drop gear they don't use them for the most part. They are overall a stat loss because the crafted has never been better than the top end gear (nor should it be).

But my expectations for battle class crafted were left side, not accessories. I expect however that accessories will come out later, after people had a few weeks to try at savage without vit accessories to give them a boost and most people already have better accessories. Then people that aren't winning at savage can get the "nerf" to savage by picking up some.

It's just a shame that the crafted battle armor isn't very desirable. I'm not speaking from a desire to wear it myself. I'm speaking from a sales perspective. :P I like crafting things. I probably won't get many requests at this point.

On a sales perspective you are at a total loss.

Because even on aesthetics they are a total reskins of stuff. Heck, at least the IL160 body pieces have vanity use, lmao.

GG sales.

se really want bards to have sksp. Its on both gloves, both belts and both bows.

VERY happy to see lovely stats on AF2 bard chest and pants.

VERY happy to see crafted gear enter trash tier ( finally )

BRD/MCH pieces are god sent.

I took the decision not to follow the "most efficient route" but to take as much as I can, which meant that with 2x accessories from A1/A2 this week I am at IL187, just missing body and pants cos they are junk.

And thankfully tome gear for them are good! Screw Alex Normal after this week HAH!

I know right? ; ; They did the same thing with the first set of 2.0 crafted gear (that was on par with darklight). That stuff looked like lvl30 frogskin crap... lol

My poor glamours... I will be a ugly duckling forever... :x


Crafted is still better than having to do hunts to upgrade your law gear...but... maybe not? They are gonna be so dang expensive to make. I know many would be happy to make crafting worthless, but people that like making stuff are gonna be bummed...

Oh well, I'm sure I'll make things just for fun anyway.

Buy full set of AF2 for glamours although half of them sucks as usual HAHA.

IDK I think the AF2 looks good but if it becomes too normal I will revert back to what I am glamouring now, pretty much love it.
