Hi All,

So it seems like the last couple small patches' adjustments are what we'll be getting for now for the whole Red Scrips & Favors System. Given that:

* What's everyone's recommended Upgrade Path for Crafting & Gathering Gear for i180 Red Scrips vs. i170 Crafted (Favors) Gear?

My gut feeling from the first day they announced this ridiculous grind was that even if you slog through it, Tier V Materia (for hitting all Max Caps) isn't feasible right now. Even if it gets introduced in 3.1, Tier V Materia will take weeks if not months to stabilize and drop down in price, right?

Given that, should we just get i180 Main Hand and Full Sets of i180? Or?

I also don't feel like getting i170 to meld them with "Less Than Max" Materia. Sure it's an upgrade, but it feels like a waste of money if you know the True Caps require Tier V, and you'll end up re-melding later on.

Thanks for the help!
