3.3 crafting thread

[Lastelli]

Is it because they only want one body piece for all craft jobs? I personally enjoy different looks on each crafters.
Is it because they only want to slot one body instead of 8 tools even at the cost of gearing up slower? (9 goblin cup for body, 13 for tool)

You only need 2 Competence V and some Command IV/III to have a better body piece that you can use on all your crafters without spending any limited token.
Also, main tools are the only thing worth spending your goblin cup on since:
1) on the crafted counterpart you only have 1 sure slot for melds, which greatly increases you're expected cost for melding;
2) "universal tools" are not a thing, so you'll need to craft and separately meld each primary tool (huge cost);
3) there really isn't anything better to be bought with gubling cups.
Let's just say it's for efficiency's sake.

2 V materia is a substantial cost, just to be slightly better. If you used the 180 body, upgrading it to 200 is enough to do the new recipes. I have 4 characters, 2 specialists each. Upgrading the body on each gave me stats for all the new recipes, week 1.

Using fc buff to reach the control requirement and using a HQ baked onipn allow me to craft the 190 body and reach 3.5* naturally on all spec and boost all non spec
Day 2

From what i saw... if you were correctly stuff before
There is no point burning red script for the i200 things...

Both i190 equipment and i195 tools are strong enough
I got full left side 190 (minus boots and belt) and I reach almost 900 and 860 on every crafter

It cost less for me to spend all red script in blue script conversion to get some of the old 180 crap to desynth and got tons of fiber
And craft the remaining piece of the GORGEOUS ironforge stuff

If by correctly you mean overgearing and maxing stats, then there is no point.

If by correctly you mean the minimum to HQ reliably, then there is plenty of use for red scrips/cups.
