Ok its about time we start figuring some of these things out NOW!

[javid]

Totally didn't consider the CRP and Aquarium equation. Nice. I have a friend prepping CUL. She's been gathering mats for weeks...

I'm still hoping for that Crit/Det food <3

CRP like someone just mention is PRETTY OP THIS PATCH! more so than BSM; CRP gets 3 weapons several accessories and a few premats; and if you're into glam that too!! CRP is a great SPC this patch!!

I would assume Demicrystals will be like spiritbounding your gear. People will do their day to day grinding to charge it up, once it hits you have a lil baby. Doesn't make sense for it to destroy your weapons in the process. Read its description "Aetherial residue seeped forth from spiritbound weapons".

So don't expect and "day 1" i250 crafted weapons or anytime soon. Yoshida said the new crafted weapons are "new endgame". People have always complained crafted weapons were always really weak. This is his response, granted the weapons will be obsolete once people get the newer earned weapons. Also worth mentioning these i250 crafted weapons can be fully pentamelded.

FSH is not left out as far as "gil" goes. The fish for aquariums will most likely have to be caught. One of the mats needed looks like it might be a Diadem caught fish. And gloaming coral and blue cloud coral are gonna shoot the moon because of one of the grade 3 dissolvents. Luckily for me I bought 100's of grade 2 dissolvent mats thinking they would be brought back, they weren't BUT the mats used to make them are half the mats used in the new grade 3's.

Looks like WEV and LTW will need each others mats, nothing new here. ARM/GSM/BSM need each other as well as far as mats go. Seems like you could go GSM/BSM or ARM/GSM. GSM has an ingot they both need. ALC is a MUST, Im currently ARM/LTW/WEV. I will drop ARM for ALC. I saved up soul of crafter incase I hade to change. I will save up more soul of crafter to change spec "teams" all at once if I can.

Luminous Fiber and Hive forewing are my first targets once I log. I will then proceed to buy up dubbin, schelite, saurian skin, borax (I have about 500 already, teehee) , gobcraft resin, wattlebark, glass fiber and carbonfiber. I have stacks of Battle demi III's and everything else. I spent 20mil+ prepping the past few weeks. Sitting on about 100mil and hope to double that by a couple weeks from now. Make about 20mil a day in sales when i put in the work (about 6-8hr). Fingers crossed! GL \o/

Naw I disagree; for SE to do what you're suggesting would demand implementing yet another system that needs testing/feedback from the community for proper adjustment. A more reliable approach would be to continue what they know has been functional in times b4; notice the recipe for new weapons follows exactly that of the old 2.x primal weapons: battlecraft a few end game mats and primal desyns; this setup looks exactly the same just fewer mats; and we know the demi crystals comes from weapons (somehow) a new system?? or the same old desyn that we've been doing for almost a year now? We'll see... lastly take notice of the name demimateria; it follows the same naming scheme of the old mats (demimateria of crag; ...of inferno;....of vortex; demimog demimateria; all of which risked desyn old ex weapons at a chance of new mats)


THERE WILL BE SEVERAL NEW FIRST DAY WEAPONS!! I hope to be among the first to make them.


Edit

This is how I would anticipate the demimateria crystals to come about.

desyn weapons
Sephi - 1 possible
Old lore- 1-2 possible
Nidhog - 2 possible
deep dung - 2 possible
upgrade lore - 2-3 possible
Alex savage - 3-4( or 4-5) possible * its so close to 250 and the hardest by far to get....may have it basically reward those players with less steps.

Well, if you're right, then not allot will be on mb anytime soon. Peeps will be gearing themselves up before selling spare. I know I am. And I highly doubt allot of ppl will have high enough levels of desynthesis to even succeed. I will be dumping Roundtable weapons up if that's the case. I will switch my ARM to BSM and spam out them glam weps all day. All my other points were spot on tho.

Judging from the naming convention of demicrystals (demi being the key prefix) as well as the description, I think it will be possible to desynth them from fully spiritbound weapons. Whether or not you need weapons of a specific tier (over 50, over 60, primal only) is hard to weigh in on. It would follow the same desynth game that's been ongoing but adding in an element of another system already in place which is spiritbinding.

[Dement]

If past conventions hold true (being that goblacquer, Titanium Carbide, Scintillent nugget, Goblinol, Invisible Ink, and Hemicyon Hides are all 20 Lore for NQ, 50 Lore for HQ) I'm coming up with a need for about 3900 Lore (assuming you get all HQ), and right around 120k GC seals, and 108 new gathering items for a full set including weapon. Along with a some minor items (griffin hides, shroud tea leaves, feberites, cobalt ores, raw diamonds etc. etc.) Then of course the demicrystals for the weapon which could be a gigantic pain in the ass.

[Dre777]

If I'm right tho, do I get a cookie? Day 1 i250 just seems unreal to me. I will check back on this thread after patch to see who's right. :P

If i'm right; i think you're right!! AND I'M HOPING ON IT!!! B/C I HAVE NEVER EVER kept the first spoils of my craft when a new patch comes out!! BC that's when everyone (like u just said) wants to GEAR THEMSELVES UP FIRST! And my aim is to help "you" do it....FOR A SHINY PENNY!!

Also though, if desyn stays like its always been..... desyn a 245 ilv at 220 syn will be at 25% success rate (without food or tinker)......NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WILL BREAK A 245 WEAPON AT THAT RATE unless they got all of them a one they don't care for.....
