Lackluster yellow strip gear

What did you expect? If they put materia slots on it crafted gear would be worthless...this is the cheap option. The MH tools are probably worth it since GP is not as useful as CP is to crafters...the legs are somewhat interesting too.

This isn't what I meant. I'm not talking materia slots. I'm talking about how the ilvl 190 HQ ironwork set is as good or better (with pentamelding) than the ilvl 300 yellow scrip set. Starter lvl 70 gear shouldn't be worse than endgame lvl 60 gear. It just shouldn't. xP

It's not? I see nothing wrong with it...the true starter gear (HQ white crafted) melded trumps uber melded IW. Scrip gear is not even starter gear...it's glamour gear with stats for the casual crafter.

You are as a goddess to me. I shall make thee a great altar and give many great offerings to thy lovely visage. Thank you. This is what I was looking for. I thought I was missing something.

Except this isn't true. It will cost you substantially more getting Yellow Scrips than if you crafted the 290 set, and it takes just two grade IV materia to surpass all but the body. There is literally no value in Yellow scrips gear except for glamour.
