3.3 crafting thread

[keyburz]

Have you people even noticed yet that carbonweave gear has same exact stats as the 170 blue gear? This means 2 star materials went from the most expensive thing, to literally trash. Not even worth your time to gather it. Its literally trash that should be thrown away. Because its a million times easier farming diadem for the materials to craft carbonweave. Two star materials have zero use now, equivalent to elemental materia. Im all for carbonweave being universal, but dam square you made all two star mats completely useless. Id be surprised if I could sell my ingots now for 10k each hq

Lets make some estimations:
Lets say 1 piece of carbonweave gear sells for 5 million hq. This gear will equip 8 classes. Compare this to the 170 blue crafted gear which equips 1 class. 5 mil divided by 8 is average value of 625k per crafter. Now lets say an average piece of gear uses 3 2-star materials. Subtract other material costs and lets call it 400k. This mean the 2 star materials would have to be about 130k each to even consider doing this. Now consider that youre spending a lot more time trying to make 8 sets of gear when you could just make (or have made) 1 set of gear to be done with all 8 classes. Consider that having the gear made by someone also requires a fairly substantial tip for making so many sets of gear.

After its all said and done, since 2 star materials have no new uses, and carbonweave is equivalent stats, 2 star materials will be worth 20-50k each.... maybe.

Yes, that's why I included it in the OP

Better expect it to be like 500k. The mats seem very cheap and it's two star, non-specialist.
Carbonweave Apron:
Carbon Fiber x2 (100 blue Scrips --> like 20k when collecting them yourself)
Cloud Cloth x2
Pterodactyl Leather
Sewing Thread x3
Titanium Ingot

Rest is even cheaper. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I've sold 6 (3 chest 3 pants) for 2 mil a piece by the idiot whose trying to sell them for 5-6 mil.

I know, right? And to make it so they only need 3 of each instead of the 10. My soul died a little. I was almost tempted to save my favor mats in case we'll need them for 3.3 crafting but decided against that. Same with materia. XD

Actually, it's not even the favor mats that bug me. It's how much easier it is over all, compared to before 3.3. Perhaps not the actual crafting, and you'll still need to gear if you're new to crafting, but the overall process is really a lot easier, I guess. I didn't like the grind before but this makes me wish I had all that time back. xD And then some.

New crafting gear is easier/less time consuming than 1 relic. How disappointing. I guess at least I have a piece but that's what's so stupid. Have other parts to craft now(not all yet).

Chest piece. Going to get boring with 1 glamour though

Where do you get the light-touched aethersand? I saw I get the crystallized sap from churning mists somewhere (or should i say some time)

The new aethersand is from aetherial reduction from Radiant Astral Moraine or Lover's Lorel, available on every old ephemeral node for botanist/miner. You need 7/8 or 8/8, like the old sands. You get water/ice clusters/crystals as a side result, so yay if you didn't like fishing aetherial reduction.

Thanks. Looks like the sap spawns with the old-growth camphor logs in slot 4.
