My botanist and Miner are both at 60, but are still using lucis and level 55 gear since my crafters are a bit behind.

I've almost got 27 tokens and I already have a couple of each of the counterfoils. I heard that crafted gear can outperform the token equipment if properly melded, is that true of the tools too?

The new miner main hand would give me a massive boost over the lucis, so it's looking pretty appealing at the moment!
