I sure do hope they release recipes for the gathering gear at some point.

i170 will be better if you meld it with TV materia. I'd hardly call that "costing less resources", given the horrible RNG involved. Oo

I agree that "no option" is awkward, esp considering that with a few gentle melds in your chimaera gear, you don't even need the blue stuff past the main hand.

And yes: Favors are a mess I certainly won't touch. At least not until red scripts become uncapped.

You actually only need grade Vs for the body and the main hand (on the 170 crafters at least), the rest can be done without more or less. Especially the pieces that focus on control like the hats, since control goes up slower with item level than craftsmanship does, you can make those better just with 2 IVs. But other than that you're definitely right on your points, it's very frustrating.

Not all of them are expensive. The boots and pants are like 7 tokens each, which is less than the 9 capped tokens per week. However, I do wish the gathering tokens weren't needed for both favors AND gear, because that's just frustrating.

yea this really annoyed me. I get that it extends the time to gear up but its poor implemation imo

one solution in the short terms can be remove red script cap.

In my case i did start gearing my Weaver in red script...
Then try some favor and immediatly regret my 180 gear...

It cost à lot less to craft the 170 which is fine even without meld

For the gather i got 1 main hand and I fully meld the white set...
And wait for the 3.2 for the crafted set !

I do not see that happening, for same reason they will never remove cap from highest tier tomes. Would be nice if they increased it a bit though

[FoxyAreku]

Yeah, red scrip cap won't and shouldn't be removed. If it was I'd have all the crafter gear in a day...as would many others.

in a day? not really. in a week? most definitely.

would be nice though if thay raised it a little. not saying like 450>700 just maybe 450>500 so we can get an even 10 a week instead of taunting us with an uneven 9 x-x

I can mass produce red scrip turn ins, just capping takes me like 30 minutes. It wouldn't take long. :P

But yeah, a small raise would be cool.
