New i90 Tools

Considering Artisan gear is only i60 it's a safe bet that the i70 Adepts stuff will just be plain outright better in those slots. Oh well, makes me glad I didn't bother getting Artisan's clothes.

not really a SAFE bet, persay, considering existing i70 gear is inferior to the i60. Especially when we already know the i70 stuff isn't craftable, and therefore isn't meldable.

Did you know that the i70 token hands is the same as the i55 crafted hands except they swapped 3 points of something for 3 points of CP?

Not sure if its allowed on the forums or not, but since I cant remember a rule preventing it specifically, ill post anyways. early mining data is showing adepts chausses as being -4 control and -1 cp vs. fully melded artisan culottes.

so, about on par with the ixal gloves.

p.s. if it is against forum rules, ill definitely delete this on my own, and apologize profusely.

3 control for the cost of 3 CP yup. The thing is, those gloves aren't really in the same progression path as the Artisan Spectacles. Totally separate acquisition methods. Ixali Beast Tribe reward for Ehcatl gloves and Talan in Mor Dhona for the Artisan i70 Spectacles.

Are there even crafts that require these?

Now you don't have to meld Artisan's Tools one by one if you have Lucis and melded Artisan's Apron.
I think that's the point.

You might also meld Control and CP materia for your Artisan's Tools now.

It wasn't very difficult for me to get all 4 new artisan gear items and i got it - for collection. And i found out that fully melded pre 2.5 gear items are better than i70 ones (crship+1, control+1, cp+1). So, i think that now it's better to have fully melded i60 artisan gear. i55 body... it's a question - full meld of 8 body gear items COSTS, but fully melded i55 body is better than i70 one.
