Patch 3.4 Notes (Full)

[Neophyte]

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.

Well, good thing that I desynthed up to 70+ battlecraft III, have 98.000 GC seals on 2 companies and about 20k additional seals in form of gear.
Also 100 allied seals = 3000ish GC seals and 100 centurio = even more, maybe 6000ish?

And tombstones? Lolz... There are 1-2 weeks coming with "always bonus" on Sophia hm, both ex dungeons, creator normal 1-4.
I already fear to have to queue while waiting in idleshire, because there will be so much tomes that i'll hit the cap if I forget to spens them
