New DoH/DoL sets projected at 3943/29579

[Shadygrove]

The new crafting and gathering foods have the same requirements as previous 3 star food.

The new crafting earrings have Diff. 3943 vs. 3548 for silvergrace combat earrings. Hawk's eye sand is easier than G 2 infusions. Except for the materials of course.

Many new mats are easier than this to craft. With a few HQ it should easily be doable without using mama

Yeah after looking at things it looks like Mama is most efficient (enough that you can go with NQ food and no tea) while Muscle Memory and Initial preparations are very viable with the new DOH/DOL gear, but you'll likely want HQ food and tea.

Yeah I tried both, MaMa is still the best but not by miles this time

And I failed an HQ with a 98% chance T_T curse me

If it's any consolation, and even though it only happened once, a long time ago I failed an HQ with 100% chance. This game's RNG is out of control, anything that isn't a 100% must be considered like a 50%.

Sigh, I just got my ilvl 320 set & haven't even overmelded it ... snip...

Oh, btw what's everyone's thoughts on the new Yellow scrip offhand items? I think the stats are pretty darn nice & with the exception of having no CP they're a LOT higher than anything I could meld so I'm currently getting all of those. Belts & accessories don't seem worth it though. Stats on my overmelded 290 gear are as good if not better.

I'm in the same boat as you, more or less. My 320 stuff is partially overmelded to get the CP up and then I'm grabbing blue tools for everything. I think I'll be able to craft the new gear with full HQ mats, HQ food and tea, and using an Initial Preparations rotation. Mats are all set, I just need to get home from work and make the attempt.

My Base Stats
1585 Craft
1522 Control
476 CP

Specialist
Requires the new crafting food "Matcha"

Non-HQ item base:


HQ all but hawk's eye:


with hawks eye its 100% quality.
This is using 4.2 max melded gear (no new offhands etc).

Hope this helps you all

that is the lokyst simulator. http://ffxiv-beta.lokyst.net/#/simulator

pkminer, thank you very much for your rotation! i'm eager to get started on making the new gear but i've always been awful at coming up with good rotations.

Can confirm. I'm watching the simulator since the patch launched to try some rotations but the items aren't in the list.
