Enchanting system is horrible in this game.

[Zfz]

The way the system works, each item follows a hierarchy and adding materia to any item, while improving its stats, will not change it to an item above its level.

Could you please give us some more insight on the item hierarchies in 2.1? Specifically:

1. What is the relative strength between iLv80 Crystal Tower gear and the corresponding iLv70 HQ overmelded gear?
2. Will there be better crafted gear for PvE in 2.1?
   • If yes, where would it be positioned? Slightly worse than the Crystal Tower drops or slightly better if over-melded?
   • If not, what are your plans for end-game crafting for PvE battle content?
