There isn't glamor for that when you dislike having 8 jobs that all look the same. While I adore the extra space I have from the Artisan gear the limitations of our current glamor system negate that joy for me.

this is pretty much why i wont even bother with the artisian set. I really hope they do not continue this pattern with the expansion

Well to be honest.
The cross class artisan set is rather genius.
It is the most succinct way in increasing all the crafting classes in 1 hit.
They will most definitely complete this set with the main body, perhaps even change the wrists and rings.

I doubt they will reduce the hand-in requirements for the Supra's even further.

One of the things they will most probably look at is reducing the Echatl Sealant costs.
Since the Artisan Offhand requires these to be crafted, this will be a surefire way to allow crafters access to these offhands much easier and through that increase their crafting competence.

Can you not make more than one and glamour them differently? I guess I just assumed you could and making more than one would be no different than making a bunch of different class specific ones like you want. If you can't do that, then my mistake. I don't glamour a lot.

Well, you could, yes. The new equipment is something like 100 times more expensive to make though.

<--------Note to self....do not meld any chest/wrist/ring pieces till after next patch. Save myself some materia.

I'd expect a 5 ilvl increase to supra tools and maybe the artisan body piece. Gatherers can already easily gather anything in the game without all the best gear available, but they will be adding new gems, or at least some sort of material to make the new i110 accessories so new nodes are pretty much certain (well, likely 1-2 new nodes for MIN and BOT each, as well as some fish). I don't think they'll mess with the accessories again. The old aetheryte rings are the same ilvl as everything else and I don't see them replacing the relatively new dodore/ mosshorn/ rose gold items.

do you guys think it will be 3-stars requirement to make the new accessories ? or four stars -,-

It will almost definitely be 4 star for the new accessories.
