Agreed, those did come out with 3.05; however, this time around there doesn't appear to be any place for the "true" AF to fit in. In Heavensward the white gear was ilvl 150, the "true" AF was 170, and the Scrip gear was 180. The "true" AF had lower stats than the Scrip Gear but could be melded to exceed it. White Gear with max melds couldn't exceed the Scrip Gear.

This time around, there's only a 10 ilvl gap between white gear and scrip gear and white gear can easily be melded to exceed the scrip gear. As such, I honestly don't think "true" AF is going to exist this time around as I have no idea where it would fit into the equation.

Maybe ilvl 295 with slightly higher stats than the white gear but then the question remains of is it worth it to make 8 different sets for the boost provided by only 5 ilvls?
