Patch 3.4 Notes (Full)

[SinisterJointss]

Ornate Ironworks Gear?

Rip my materia ;-;

Wonderous Tails -- Do a search on the page for ornate and you will see ornate versions of the crafted battle gear also. I'm 99.99% positive its the super rare gear you get from wonderous tales stuff

[Laerune]

Will EGI-glamour follow its father/mother the FC Primal summon feature?

I will be looking forward to hearing more about this.

[Balipu]

Wait, so the newest dungeon gear isn't even high enough ilvl to get someone into story mode Alexander the Creator?

Of course it isn't. As a non-raider I would find that stupid. At the very least get some accesories from the capped tomestone.

"We’re working towards implementing them starting from Patch 3.4, so please hang in there a bit longer."

That is not a promise. A promise would be "It will be implemented starting with 3.4". Nothing is ever fixed in gaming and deadlines change all the time. Probably it didn't work out so it was postponed.

it can also mean "Once 3.4 is out, we start to work on it"

Most of the maccro have seen need you to get all your crafters up (I even remember a 50 one that gives you the abylity to HQ everything but....you need all crafts 50 so...), I only got weaver 60 so yes, i can't get the books cause i can't even make my 60 weaver quest item in HQ :/
Damn, most of the time I can't get an HQ "low" (like 55 - 56) item with HQ materials cause of that -_-
I know, i know, mog quest + birds quests but hey, got a job to attend 6 days a week -_-

I know the pain, but try to keep up with gc hand in and do the kupo quest. They give a crap load of exp. Then gather enough mats and get a friend to help you craft leve hand-in items once you have a full stack of allowance. Don't forget the weekly challenge log too! Every bit helps.

Using HQ mats gets you like 99% of the way to being able to get scrips for crafted turn ins. Scrip credit doesn't require max quality - just around half the bar or 15% chance at HQ if you were crafting regularly. You get more scrips for filling up the bar, but the base barrier to get most of the scrips is really low. Scrip turn ins are much more forgiving than HQ.

Whatever that Night Pegasus mount looks like, I wants it! It better not be another stupid 1000 mentor runs or anything like that.
Im willing to go spend my life in the diadem if thats where its from though.

Willing to bet it is, thats where the white peg came from

Presumably progression systems are in place to gear you up to start on the next tier of content. There is literally no point to the dungeon gear other than glamour. The dungeons throw tomes at you that provide higher ilvl gear - even the uncapped / previous tier tome. It's a bit of a shock that current dungeon gear drops do little to nothing to prepare a player to enter the next part of content.

Doing some calculations to see how many items / grand company seals it will cost to make a full set of IL 250 gear for 2 jobs.
For WHM and NIN, to make the 250 gear and weapon it will take 114000 seals IF you get the items using Grand Company Seals and not from dungeons / the marketboard / ones you already have on hand.
Even if you have 50,000 seals coming back from the patch and do all supply missions and NO squadron missions (Because those will require seals), it will still take a few days to get them all.
Plus needing to get some mats (undoubtedly, but not yet proven) from tomestones, it will take a quite a while or a lot of money to get them all.

It seems like a lot of work for IL 250 gear, which will be obsolete quickly seeing as the gear goes to at least 270 (and weapons 275)

We also don't know if the items like "Teak Lumber" and "Scintillant Ingot" will be locked behind specialists or not.

The 250 gear had better be a guaranteed Materia V after converting it...

Crafters are guaranteed to make a lot of money if they really spend a LOT of time not only gathering / crafting / but also running dungeons for tomes.

There is actually so much to craft, with new housing items and lots of people getting apartments, it's hard to decide what to do exactly.
And whether it will be worth it to craft the "Hive" and "Round" items as well, seeing as they require 5 Battlecraft Demimateria III each, but they still just basically glamour.
