What's your plan?

I'm referring to the red scrips, obviously . I'm thinking about making the tools for my BSM, CRP, and LTW, and then craft the universal gear before I working on the tools for my WVR.

Soon enough I want to have the bis gear for all the four previously mentioned professions. The reason behind this is I want to be self reliant - I want to make sure I will be able to craft the next tier of crafting gear myself. After this is done, the focus will be on getting bis for my gatherers.

I haven't really decided when but I also want to get decent gear for ALC and CUL. GSM and ARM are dead to me, hence they will not be getting any special treatment.

Already in full BiS minus belt for weaver. Just crafting the rest of the sets for glamour and (attempting to) sell off the leftovers.

Grind a bit more and get bsm feet , waist and hands next week.
After that sell main hands and off hands for idk 7-18 mil ?
Im just finishing the bsm set to say i did it and for glamour.
But yea other than that the grind is putting me from gearing up my other crafts.

Might get ltw main hand for the spinning pizza cutter lol.

I plan to outfit my Ltw, Wvr and Bsm. I have offhand for all 3, body and hat for Ltw, body for Bsm and belt for every craft. I'll likely finish off gearing these 3 and then figure out if I have any motivation left to do the rest. I'm not going to craft the main hands though since melding them to be better than the red scrips ones is almost impossible.

I spent my gathering tokens on my Botanist Main Hand. Thinking about getting mining and fishing Mainhands.
But then I'll have 9 weeks of crafting tokens I don't know what I want to do with those.

I never thought about comparing the MHs, I just assumed the crafted one was vastly superior. Thanks for the tip!

I really want to craft the i170 crafting gear. However.. What is the point crafting lvl 60** gear at the moment? I really don't understand how it works. You craft i170 gear, which takes loads of gathering/gil/time, only to find out there is i180 gear which is way better.

What did I miss other than the fact that getting i180 takes ages with the current system?

My plan is get all the crafted ilv 170 gear and near-max meld them then use my extra 9 tokens per week to craft gear / gather materials and sell them on the Mb. When this gear is necessary there will be a rush to get it and meld them and I'll already be there

No plans. Still at 1 2* item crafted (weaver off hand) and lacking the motivation to make any more.

Apart from the fact that crafting i170 gear lets you have the full sets of gear earlier (at the cost of it currently taking a MASSIVE amount of additional time and effort) there's also the fact that the i170 gear can be made to have better stats than the i180 gear if you throw enough materia at it.

As for my own plans: I have two max melded HQ Astral Birch Rings and I'm currently working on getting the gathering belt, since (as far as I can tell) it is the only other item that is possible to max out the stats on without having tier V materia. After that I'll likely start working on the offhands since those are better unmelded than the best you can do with the lower tier. But not pushing too hard on this since I'm waiting for the planned update to the favor system. I was going to do the trade-in version of mainhands since the requirements to get the i170 versions even with those are atrocious, so that gives me something to do with this pile of crafting scrip tokens I'm accumulating.
