Which will last till 3.2 when new artisan arrives and the grind will be even worse, expecting new tiers of demimaterias IV-V, even maybe mastercraft demimateria II for the lulz and literally, all the effort now and in the coming months will be for nothing, once more. You can only push it so far before your players lose interest in one part of your game...

We don't have a whole lot to go on when it comes to when the next tier of gear will be available though. If we're going with how it was with ARR, the major gear shift didn't happen until (I think) 2.4, which was over a year later. Prior to that, it was only Forager's/Artisan's head equip and MH... both of which weren't exactly difficult to acquire, especially if you had the 2.0 equips melded. Even with Supra, it was far from necessary. Lucis was just outright luxury items with no actual necessity or application.

I mean, it's quite possible we'll see a gear shift to be something along the lines of every other patch, but until it actually happens, there's no real reason to expect the worst.
