Rare/ex and crafted gear w/ materia are completely lopsided at this point when there should be agreat gear that comes from each aspect of the game. This game will not work/survive on crafting alone sorry to tell crafters but your a minority and if the game ever picks up steam and gets ahold of more subscribers crafting as a mainstay will become even more an issue. They stated they wanted too streamline things more yet w/ gear its just getting more and more and more complicated. Class only optimal....required......job only next theyll add day of the week or fullmoon only gear. FFS make up yer mind developers your hurting the game more than helping w/ all this BS.
Hope you have a crafter jobs leveled yourself. Good luck trying to repair your gear to 100%. You won't be able to put in the wards at 99%. Hope you have the gil to waste on that repair npc with those high repair prices.

Just because it's quested, doesn't mean it it will drop the gear. That picture of the artifact gears, I saw a red version, a white version, and a blue version. So seems more likely to me that they are crafted gear.
