I think people forget the end game in 2.00 and how it wasn't really any better there. I ignored it then and thought this might be a good time to try because I can get potash for a song.

468 craft
405 control
Lv 53 weaver.

Trying to get 3 HQ Intricate Brocades for the Master II book. 4 tries, 1 HQ. I never broke 50% HQ and fluked the one I got.
With the turn in on NQ fails for 1 Demimateria III

Back then people would have had to deal with low supply crawler cocoons, dungeon farmed pot ash through tomestone turn in, demimateria desynth grind, Materia over melding to get the stats I have now.
FF14 'end game crafting' has always been power grind through the nose.

I'll stick the one HQ I have now in a retainer and try again when I have 60 and stats that should wipe the HQ bar. As for red scripts?
See you in FF14 4.00 a realm regrinded.
