I haven't managed to get any of the new 3-star items made yet with my LTW, mostly because with a fully penta-melded set of AF gear and jewelry my stats are still nowhere near being high enough without the new tool/headpiece. However comparing the NQ ilevel 90 gear you can craft, It's sub-par to the ilevel 80 gear you get from Crystal Tower. I would hope that HQ versions of these items will at least be marginally better than the CT drops and then adding melds to them will help to bring them close to existing ilevel 90 gear available from Myth tomes. Just a shame that it is still at much greater cost than acquiring the Myth gear is and it's still not necessarily going to be on par with Myth gear.
