Let's talk new master recipe books...

[EvianEverdeen]

So with the release of patch 4.05, we're getting new master recipe books, yay. Be prepared to meld or re-meld (probably with materia VIs), reverse engineer new rotations/macros, and spend a lot time, money, and effort on grinding out the scrips required for the new books, not so yay.

So what do you think? I'm guessing the new books will be purchased with yellow scrips and cost an exuberant amount, probably like 1,000 each? Hopefully less if we're lucky.

What's your plan to grind them out, CUL recipes, ALC recipes? Which book(s) do you plan on getting first?

I think I'll likely grind out some CUL yellow scrips collectables in spiritbond gear with some one-button collectables macros

I'm still leveling up my crafters. Only have BSM at 70 with the others being 60-63 ;-;

We should be able to craft the (presumably to be introduced) "true" AF gear with a melded white set. I have no plans on touching my melds until I get those new pieces. I'll be replacing and melding my accessories first. I haven't penta'd my white set, but I didn't want to until we got the required stats for the new stuff.

My order of books will be my specialists (GSM ALC and WVR) and then everything else. I will probably get CUL last as I can probably craft just fine without the highest tier of food possible. Seafood Stew was best for all of HW, after all. (And I'm still using it, but it's mostly because i made A LOT and I'm lazy.)

So you're thinking there's going to be new crafting gear, accessories, and primaries/secondaries to replace the HQ white set we have now?

If 4.05 is gonna be like 3.05 then yes.

They tend to follow similar patterns with gear so yeah, this is exactly what happened in HW, except that gear was available on release with HW and not a few weeks later.

I'm debating on this. Previous expansion had the first set of books costing one script set backwards and they were reasonably priced. If they follow that set, then our books should be Red Scrip based.

Still gold scrips are getting VERY little use on my server. But if the books cost yellow scrips... the economy is going to explode in a VERY bad way. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow of we have to gold scrip every book. I can afford it... but its going to be painful any which way.

I'm pretty sure the new master books will each cost 900 red scrips.

Are we talking a new set for each individual crafting job or a new omniset? Sorry, I don't remember what happened and in what order when Heavensward was released!

craftable versions of the 8 class-specific yellow scrip sets. They will likely be able to accept pentamelds.
