If you craft the gears youre getting a small amount of craft/control/cp over the scrip gear...as in literally not enough to make a difference as you can already craft every possible item with a melded i150 set. I dont get why everyone needs the 170/180 gears so fast when we are a few months away from any recipe that will require the stats...

And just how long does it take to get your 3 specialists in full gear? You guessed it...a few months.
