Meldable i90 gear as a drop?

[Sylkis]

Why not?

Example i90 gear that we currently have:

Allagan Cuirass of Aiming: 29DEX 33VIT 24CRIT 34SPD
Allagan Tunic of Casting: 29INT 29VIT 24SPD 24DET
Allagan Cuirass of Maiming: 29STR 33VIT 17DET 34SPD


The current gear has this pattern:
Slot 1. Primary stat
Slot 2. VIT depending on job
Slot 3. Low amount of a stat (24CRIT,24Speed,17DET etc)
Slot 4. High amount of a stat (34CRIT,34Speed,24DET etc)


So, you can make a piece of gear that has primary stat and VIT with materia slots. Materia V (i90) should give half the amount of Slot 3, so when all 5 are melded you end up with something equal to what we currently have, except with the stats you want. Stat caps can just be equal to the amount in Slot 4. Materia V could come from i70 gear.


I90 was just used as an example, can be applied to future gear...

it'll probably happen when 2.2 or 2.3 comes out with new ilvl gear. A new currency will be introduced and the current myth points can be used to by materials to craft i90 gear.

If I could craft you that "shell"-like gear I would go with you.
Sure some components of that should be hard to get or the needed syntheses has to be in some form like inserting materia today. Just to hold down the RMTs Yoshie's afraid of.

Be nice if "meldable gear" gets crafted from component drops rather than an actual drop itself.
Doesn't have to be i90 either. i80 + full materia should match or overpower a basic i90.

Or make crafting gear useful again. :/
