The new ilvl 180 glamour items materials list locations

[Krissey]

Just wanted to make sure I got this right, because it seems to be layers of RNG and confusion.

First things first: My Miner and Botanist are in FULL HQ gear (Serpentskin, MH/OH etc..) and Slightly Overmelded to meet 604 Gathering, 648 Perception and 600 GP.

Now to the glamour items desired:

Aurum Regis Nugget is easy:
Gold Ore is 2.xx Unspoiled Node in the burning wall at like 9:00 AM. Easy.
Aurum Regis Sand is from regular nodes Sea of Clouds, basic material. Easy.

Now for the hard part:

Adamantite Ingot comes from -
Blue Quartz - Regional Folklore Book for 99 Blue Gathering Scrips somewhere at around 5:00 AM unspoiled nose right??
Adamantite Nugget - Darksteel Ore 1:00 AM Coerthas Central Highlands unspoiled node easy easy.
Adamantite Ore - Azys Lla 11:00 AM unspoiled node - easy once you get HQ melded gear.
Sun Mica - Regional Folklore Book 99 Blue Gathering Scrips also at 5:00 AM for Abalathian Spine ??? Maybe ??
Purified Coke - 10 Red Ooid and 10 Wyvern Wart which Are Red Gathering Scrip Favors which spawn from being in the right area and randomly appear if you hit level 60 nodes in the area ??? I'm not sure on this step if you need both or either/or and the stats needed to get them but I think I know the come from Coerthas and Sea of Clouds respectively ?

Amphiptere Leather very easy:
Amphiptere Skin - kill them in Churning Mist til their skin drops
Dark Chestnut Log - basic botany node very easy

Second Hard Part is Grade 2 Vitality Dissolvent:
Griffin Talon - Maps? I don't know where this comes from.
Sky spring Water - takes the same mats as Purified Coke and again I am not 100% sure how this works
Dawnborn Aethersand - 5/8 or higher Aetherial Reduction pure RNG but pretty easy
Clary Sage - Ephermeal Node - easy just gotta time it right

And finally x2 Leafborn Aethersand - 8/8 Aetherial Reduction pure RNG and lots of luck but not too bad.

The feet are exactly the same except I need to level fishing to 60 to get the Seaborn Aethersand or possibly find a nice fisherman friend or last resort buy it on MB.

So is this about right? What stats do I need to get Red Favor Scrip items? Am I close to getting these items? I have 2/3 Mining Blue Scrip Books and 71 scrips right now to the third book.

I think I'm a little confused? we are talking about the battle class crafted new gear, right? Doesn't the i160 crafted version have the same appearance as the i180 version and much cheaper? Why not just get the i160 version instead if it's just for glam?

[Krissey]

Because the only the chest pieces are the same. The Adamantite Sollerets of Fending (http://xivdb.com/?item/10711/Adamant...ets-of-Fending) and Adamantite Vambraces of Fending (http://xivdb.com/?item/10690/Adamant...of-Fending)are actually exactly looklike Fray (The Dark Knight trainer's) gear, where-as the other gear is purely a chest piece that I can see.

[Madamepancake]

I see! my bad I didn't realize there was only the chest piece, not the rest.

Each NQ Red Scrip trade-in requires 1 Red Scrip token, 10 Mining Favor materials (Ooids), and 10 Botanist Favor materials (Bladeleaf, Wyvern's Wart, Void Nut, etc), and these must match. That is, for 5 Purified Coke, you need 1 Red Scrip Token, 10 Red Ooid, and 10 Wyvern's Wart, for a total of twenty-one items turned-in. The trade happens at the Splendor's Vendor in Idylshire, under Tradecraft Items.

Favor Materials like Ooids require Matron's Favor (BTN) or Trader's Favor (MIN) for a specific zone: for Purified Coke, this means Matron's Favor Churning Mists and Trader's Favor Coethas Western. Each Red Gatherer's Scrip will give five Favors. To use them go to the cluster of compatible materials in that zone (Dandelions in Churning Mists, Raw Citrine in Coethas Western), and then enable the favor. For the next fifteen minutes, every time you deplete a node, there is a chance a new, Concealed node will show up. Thus, you want to run around depleting nodes like crazy.

You can harvest Favor items with base level 60 gear. There's no real serious stat requirements, and since you can only get one Favor Item per revealed Concealed Node and HQ unmelded gear will get you ~75% harvest chance per swing, stat values don't /really/ matter. There's actually reason to come up with a complete set of unmelded gear, so you can at least spirit-bind while working Favors.

Skyspring Water actually takes fewer favor mats per trade-in -- 3 Ooids, 3 BTN favor mats -- but otherwise works the same.

Griffin Talons can come from DoW/DoM ventures, from treasure maps, or from killing Griffins on the island where Abalantian Rock Salt spawns.

Wow thanks! That helps a lot! I really appreciate you clearing that up! With 645+ Perception can I get HQ Sun Mica/Blue Quartz?

I asked because I also would like to get all HQ mats for the new gathering off-hands released to maximize the chances of crafting a HQ off-hand.

[GrywoTosk]

Yes, 645 is the minimum perception value for HQ Sun Mica, Blue Quartz, and every other MIN/BTN folklore node
