Thread: Changes to Crafting in 2.4? Wait or not to wait?

So I have all my DoH's at around 45 now, taking things reaaaaaaaaaaaally slow knowing the huge grind + meld curb just up ahead at 50.

Knowing I have to max meld my gear to hit 3star crafts, I am preparing for SB grinds... BUT 2.4 IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!?!?

2.4 will be coming out before the year is done, which is under 2 months time.

It will probably take me a couple weeks if not a month if I grind all my materias, considering that, would it be better to wait till 2.4 to see the changes made to crafting gear before max melding? I would hate it if I spend a month grinding materia to see them go to waste with 2.4;;;

I have read opinions of others on how the changes in 2.4 will affect crafting, like where all gear is cross-class like the Artisan's Specs or new i70/90 gear will be available which needs to be max melded again. Maybe even 4star crafts.

Taking all this into consideration... I decided to slow down my road to 50 on my DoH's and start stocking on materias in prep for 2.4.

What are your opinions? Should I meld asap or wait?
