Supra worth it?

[Fusaa]

Hi guys, I am a max melded crafter with all artisan tools except cul,crp, and gsm. I have the mats just lazy. I could get a supra tool for a job would cost about 5 million. Does anyone see any point in getting this? I never need Gil can make 1-3 mil a day. I just don't understand why these tools exist. I can see the worth if not max melded. Any thoughts.

A big fat 'Nope' from me.

No current recipe needs these Tools. You should be able to reliably HQ three star with Artisan and max melds. Right now they're a superfluous boost in a slot that didn't need it; the new synths all use the previous cap of 391/374. The only argument I think could justify the expenditure is that the price of the Demimateria will all but certainly be a lot higher when they add new recipe caps that do require these tools, as everyone who doesn't have Desynthesis prepared by then will need to buy their Demimaterias; this is likely to be a large percentage of crafters and gatherers.

TL;DR: No.

I was debating if the cost of Demi would go up. That is a good point I never thought about.

[Elasia]

No.. its not. All you get is a hue change from the original i55 tool and stats that don't really do much extra. Even a crafting masochist like myself stopped at one and left the others till the system is changed.

[Fusaa]

Yes Elasia, I am crafting obsessed as well and I think I am going to pass for now on the new tools.

These are my Supra Red Carpets. I really love them. I got them for this past Christmas as a gift. They-


...what? Oh I thought we were talking about the shoe brand.

There's a rumor about a relic chain for DoL/DoH building on the supra. If it's false, then it's way too much effort for way too little. 10 craftsmanship and 5 control is a joke.

From what I understand they will be enhancing those tools periodically (likely with equally ridiculous costs) such that it might eventually be necessary/ worth it. Of course, that's assuming we don't get any more tools from other sources. With the current 5 ilvl difference it really doesn't matter. If it gets to 10 or 15 and there aren't other options then the situation will likely change. It's hard to say if it's worth upgrading right now even if you assume you will want the upgrade eventually. Fieldcraft demimateria III will likely not drop in price, but might go up. Mastercraft demimateria is probably not going to see any sort of drastic resurgence in price, or at least I don't expect it to (for whatever my expectation is worth).

[SeleneVenizelos]

Can you please share your source that Supra will be enhanced? I have heard no mention of this before.

[Kalandros]

Well, in any case, it prepares you for the next content update where you will most likley need that small boost and also possibly enhance the tools further anyway

As for me, im slowly gathering all the Fieldcrafts and Mastercrafts for all 8 of them - Then I'll glamour all of them to Luminaries (missing a few luminaries still though~)
