Yellow Scrip gear

[Ayerinn]

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.

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?

I will only ever use omnicraft gear (no way I'm making 8 sets let alone melding/storing them) - idk why they even bother with the individual sets beyond Glamour. I hope they only introduce omni gear when it comes to crafted stuff...otherwise I will just ignore it like in HW.

I expect a mix of omnicraft gear and class-specific gear. I just wish that I could Glamour omnicrafter gear one way while a GSM, and another way while a LTW, and yet another way while a BSM, and so on.

Mainly, that's because I loathe the idea of melding 8 different sets of relatively temporary gear. I did NOT like melding the i170 Favor gear, for example.

I understand the logic in the 290 gear but i have 3 sets of yellow script (just my specs) and i feel its gona do just fine amd i mean shit it was practically free lol. Ill prob do like another person in this thread get a piece or two of the crafted gear and meld it if i have to. But with full YS and food i think its highly unlikely that ill have to.

It feels like the Yellow scrip gear was really not meant for omnicrafters who would meld to maximize it for all their classes. This was really something for people who just care about their few crafters. Seems fine with me to be honest. It's fine for those people or people who want glam since there isn't much in terms of end game crafting at the moment. That will likely change in 4.1 since we haven't been able to craft Rowena's current outfit, and you know she's the ultimate Glamho (the rest of us follow her lead lol).

What exactly did you make that made yellow scrip crafter gear "practically free"??? Gatherer scrips are just time so that I will agree is "free" beyond your play time...but making stuff to turn in for yellow crafter scrips has significant opportunity costs...I just capped mine to 2k and am waiting for the grade VI materia and scrip mats for the * recipes to arrive.

I've got until tues to cap my scripts (been gearing my fsh thru scripts), which with crafting scripts can be done in one 2-3hr sitting sooooo idk what ur getting at :/

Yep - I really hope they add VI's for yellow scrips too

VI's will almost certainly be for the capped scrip.

Thing is: you don't need pentamelds to beat the yellow scrip gear. Most of those pieces are beaten or matched by a single meld. Not even an overmeld.

There won't be a capped scrip. We'll have red and yellow for the foreseeable future.

You could probably buy the mats for the crafted set for less than 1 mil as well. Meld a craft V/control V onto each left side piece, and a control V on the MH tool, that'll put you at 2 craftsmanship above the full scrip set, and 8 control below it. No pentamelding needed, and it's a set for all DoH classes.
You could even switch out the crafted MH tool for the yellow scrip one, and that'll put you at +30 craftsmanship/+7 control over the full yellow scrip set.
