As of 2.35 a new crafting hands was introduce I can only assume for rank 7 ixali.

Overall max meld vs it it seems to be +3 control -3 cp not a huge increase but still an increase as -3 cp is a small lost. It will take a bit of a grind to get it daily quest lockout and all but if you don't have fully melded hands this might be a decent gil saver.

Thoughts?
