Hey there. So I was one of the first level 50 carpenters and weavers on my server and I recently came back after quitting in October during 2.0 with full HQ crafting gear and pretty good melds. I was about 360/350 when I left, but coming back, I notice there are items that take 391/374 or something like that to craft, which seems near impossible to get.

What did I miss in terms of crafting upgrades? What has been released since 2.0 that is better than a fully melded HQ set? In looking at the prices, I'm guessing 6 million gil isn't even a decent amount anymore, as I assume inflation has had plenty of time to kick in since 2.0. For someone just coming back, what is the market geared toward now and how does one go about getting BiS in crafting gear again?
