Thread: Patch 3.1: Crafting Reborn (?)

That's my assumption, too. And judging from the recipes, these won't be as difficult to make as the i180 sets were in terms of material acquisition, so there will hopefully be a decent market for these.

My guess is 1800 for 1. Remember back at ARR release? I don't remember the exact numbers, but I think it was 900 Philosophy Tomes for 1 Philosophy crafting mat - and you needed 9 for almost any 2-star recipe.

Now, apply the usual Heavensward recipe inflation, and 1800 for 1, with 15 total needed for a 2-star recipe, sounds about right...

Especially since there are other ways to get those mats, and they want to keep the gatherers in business. This just allows players a way to make some money off their unneeded Tomestones.

So spirit bonding battle V materia will be a thing, however, we still don't have any reasonable way to get crafting/gathering v materia :/

If it was 1800 for 5 purify coke I'm in but actually its 1800 for 1 purify coke right? That means you need 9000 laws to get 5 to craft ONE adamantite ingot right? (Example) I don't think I'm gonna bother doing that if that is the case. Still I'm happy with the 15 you get instead of 5

This should make all the red scrip mats cheaper either way. All the battle classes will funnel their law into mats. Minus a few, I have several friends who are already planning on feeding me mats. Yay 170 for everyone

Lol take breaks too!!! You can hit me up in game or we can go craft together!

Early datamining places NQ Sky Pirate gear about equal to i170 Law gear, and HQ Sky Pirate gear as slightly better than i180 upgraded Law gear -- and that's before any melds, if melds and/or overmelds will be possible.

So there could be a raiding (as opposed to glamour) market for it, for people who don't want to grind Law gear and Doman upgrade mats.
