I'm assuming the Adept's set will be an almost-but-not-quite as good alternative to the Artisan's stuff. Ehcatl Smithing Gloves are i70 and have inferior stats to the i60 Artisan's Mitts fully melded. I expect Adept's to be the same, just acquired through non-Ixali related token turn-ins. Yoshi-P said he wanted to help new crafters, and this would be a good start.

Also. i90 Lucis. My god. i90. The stats will be delicious.
