    Artisan's Mitts

    They're expensive, and barely better than Ehcatl Smithing glove if you meld them to max (3 CP advantage, other stats identical).

    On the bright side, you can easily max-meld NQ mitts to the same stats as max-melded HQ mitts for less than the price difference between the two:

    • Control +4 (safe slot)
    • Control +3 (safe slot)
    • Control +3 (safe slot)
    • Craftsmanship +4 (30% chance)
    • CP +1 (20% chance)

    ...

    They're a little unsettling though...

    I'm just gonna guess they made it for people who don't actually do dailies. Otherwise that's really underwhelming.

    Can you then let us know the max overall stats including the gear + the melds? I know we could look it up (and I'm going to right now) but I just want a confirmation since you already have it in your possession.

    Max stats after full meld (as described above), same for HQ or NQ:
    Craft: 4
    Control: 39
    CP: 3

    The artisan stuff may just be a means to free up some space in the armory for heavy crafters.

    To be fair, going from max-melded ilvl 55 class-specific crafting gloves to Ehcatl Smithing Gloves gave me 3 Control and took away 3 CP. This threw my ordinary 3 star routine into disarray as I was 2 CP short of running it, so I had to swap out a Basic touch for a Hasty Touch again. A single Tricks of the Trade (and subsequent Hasty -> Basic Touch replacement) would restore balance to my CP, making it a decent choice on average. Getting those 3CP back permanently with the Artisan Mitts is actually a very welcome addition as it solves the issue entirely, but these gloves don't help *at all* to reach the minimums for 4 star crafting.

    The Ehcatl Smithing Gloves already did that.

    Thank you

    I would bet all the gil I have left that the feet and the pants are the exact same fully melded stats (of course either HQ or NQ) since the patricians hands/feet/pants as well as the AF hands/feet/pants have the same meld caps.

    To be honest I think we got gyped 1 craftsmanship and 1 control for each of these pieces. Check this out:

    Patrician..(i50) 3 craft 32 control 3 cp
    AF gear...(i55) 4 craft 36 control 3 cp
    Artisan....(i60) 4 craft 39 control 3 cp

    Guess craftsmanship and control don't scale linearly with ilevel =/
