As it stands I desynth it or convert it, in both cases I lose 5 materia and get back minimal mats or only one materia, so ultimately its a lose lose to even craft it in the first place. The "obtained" gear at least gives me something when I'm done with it. The crafted gear isn't even good for glamour, as there are plenty of purchasable sets that look identical to crafted sets, and those are easier to just buy too. Please SE, crafting is great for housing and the new airship crafting, but please make it serve to better battle content too in a way that is not wasted once its finished.
