Ixal daily craft with the i70 ehcatl gloves

[Gardes]

Finished the ixal beastman storyline a while ago but haven't done their daily since. Tried to do them again just now because I wanted the oaknots and...I can't craft the hand in items with the i70 gloves I unlocked from the ixals!? I have to use the old ehcatl gloves again and waste my hands armory slots?

WHY

[Radkat]

The highest level for those quests are level 16 crafters. You do not need those gloves. I have no trouble with those quests.

yeah it's a mild annoyance but I found that any lvl 50 crafter can reliably HQ ixali quest items (hardest of which would be Highwin in Ishgard) with just HQ AF gears.

That's not my point. It's not whether I can hq the items or not. I never had the problem because I can hq them in 3 hits or so with my all 50 cross classes. My point is that I've done everything the ixal asked for and got the 'upgraded' version of the ehcatl gloves but to keep doing the ixal quests, I need to keep the useless lvl 1 gloves around even though the i70 gloves is basically the same thing, just with better crafting stats (which as you 2 pointed out, is irrelevant). The i70 gloves should be changed to also meet the requirements to craft the daily hand ins.

This was brought up before, it got addressed in a sort of "durrhurr, we somehow never counted on people complaining about this, but we'll maybe do something about it" sort of way, and then it was never heard of again. If it is any sort of priority for them, it's a very low one.

[Alistaire]

Yeah this is a matter of principle that they should work, and merely a matter of inventory -1 that they don't. It would be nice and completely not game-breaking if it was changed.

[Gralna]

agreed, the i70 gloves should be usable to craft the daily quest items. They offer no real advantage in actually making the items, you can't get the gloves until you're already maxed out in reputation. Why make us waste an armory slot keeping the lvl 1 version around?

[Limecat]

Better idea: remove the gloves requirement in the first place.

Better except it screws with the lore perspective. Do the whole questline, then they just go "btw that thing we said about needing these gloves? we were just joking to see if you'd fall for it." wut?
