5.0 Crafting Changes

[Kabooa]

Is there any meaningful new CP breakpoint that can be reached in the current gear?

DoL only gets around 30ish more GP from their new gear, which isn't really enough to allow for anything new in their rotations.

Well, with food that breaks you past the 850 mark, meaning once you hit a higher gathering threshold you can 4x appraisal boosts and still use +5% gathering on the 95% to ensure 100%.

As for crafters, 605 CP is looking to be pretty dumb, but whether that allows for more depends on what the new gear / Ishgard is going to require.

Considering my spec rotation doesn't even use 500 CP, and that's with reuse, lol. Even one star is almost the same. Non-spec, however, uses around 530 CP with reuse. Both are less than 15 steps too. No prudent touch used either.
