I guess I didn't even notice there was another step added to the artisan tools in this game until the fete leves and coming back to ishgard, but these seem rather crazy with the amount of materials and effort needed.

If you get the tool does it eliminate some of the RNG on the crafting for the current endgame recipes? I mean I'm just someone trying to save a little money on raid tier food and tinctures, so most of my time is being spent doing savage. Can the penta-melded tools work well enough as a replacement?
