Can someone confirm this?

According to this, there will be a set that competes with the Ala Mighan set. It will a higher item level than Ala Mighan, but won't have the overmeld slots. Ala Mighan will be better if its overmelded, but if you don't want to do that, you get the new set. Is this the new yellow scrip gear?

Looks like it. This has traditionally been the case with the crafting gear - you can get a set without overmeld slots that will allow you to do endgame crafting, but there is a crafted set that you can overmeld with better stats if you're willing to invest in it, that will give you an easier time crafting.

The scrip gear never had the materia slots before though. Materia slots even without the overmelds will make them a lot more useful. Also there has been no mention of anything about upgrading the AF3 and the carbonweave was mention, so its maybe a new set that looks just like Ala Mighan gear (different color? can't dye it?). Not being exclusive to each class will make the scrip gear even more useful than its ever been.

Just checked the new mainhands, iL330 augmentedXking's Crafts 514, Control 276, no slots. Ala Migan X Crafts 500, Control 268.

I haven't any Ala Migan crafting armor for comparsion but the augmented armor has no slots.
