    I asked this question in DoL section about if there might be any craftable gather gear, and got mostly replies like don't hold your breath or that it too soon, which I found odd since that the same gear that been in the game since 3.0 launch or least within first month 3.0 release. Cause 3.2 be like 8 months since HW release so I think be around that time that new gear could take HW launch gear place.

    Well item level is going up, which suggests 3-star crafting recipes, which also suggests some crafter gear upgrades to make those easier to do.

    It's possible that they will introduce craftable gatherer gear, but I'm unsure about the timing. It seems to me that the developers designed the system to force crafters into making a big choice. They could slowly gear their crafters and gatherers through i180 scrip gear, or they could "quickly" craft all of their i170 gear, leaving them dependent on geared gatherers for materials when 3.2 launches. Of course, very wealthy crafters could circumvent this by buying favor materials, which helps redistribute income around to gatherers (prior to 3.2).

    If they introduce new gatherer gear too quickly, i180 equipped gatherers will lose their progression advantage. I'm not sure what the developers have in mind, but if I designed the system with the idea of promoting divergent progression among omni-crafters and gatherers, I'd hold back on releasing new craftable DoL gear until a later patch.

    If 2.x is anything to go by, we might see the first piece of universal crafting gear, similar to the artisan's spectacles that were added in 2.2.
    Can't really see them adding new DoH/L MH tools, as red scrips will likely end up getting uncapped, making it easier to get the i180 versions.

    Can't really say for certain. All we have for now is an adjustment of tank values that we can only guess at.

    It'd be nice if the supply chain were loosened so more of us can make secondary tools without going broke.

    Changes to Diadem could be... good?

    It would be a good source of Red Scrip materials, if people actually did it. 3.2 is already set to adjust its objectives somewhat, though I'm not going to hold my breath on them making Diadem into the event it should be. Then we have melds on raid gear, with Diadem being a good location to Spiritbond and obtain Materia. They could also potentially change the item level dropped to match new tomestones, which would give it a temporary boost in activity. Honestly, all they need to do to make Diadem popular is put Unidentified items in there... Done, instant demand for the event and a flood of Red Scrip materials for me.

    I'm not really expecting a new crafting set in any meaningful way. The i170/i180 is a bonus, you can achieve current maximum requirements melding i150ish. I would then assume any new recipes could likely be achieved with i170. Given Specialist recipes are here to stay, I'm not even too torn up over the prospect of melding multiple sets. Doing three is still more annoying than doing one, but it's better than doing eight... If Diadem can be fixed IVs even become less of an issue IMO... Vs are still a major pain though...
