    New crafted i185 in 3.1... will it temporarily save crafting?

    Crafted Sky Pirate's Gear Set i185 now available in 3.1!
    ...vs the non-crafted i210, the ilevel difference is 25!
    In my opinion it's still too big... don't you guy think the difference should be within 20 ilevel?

    I would assume these items will render the previously 2 star i180 obsolete (well, they were obsolete before anyway... just "more" obsolete now. LOL).

    Will these items be popular on the market?

    I think they're VERY VIABLE for sale to gear up casual FC members for i179 to do Airship Exploratory Missions or to get them over i175 for Void Ark!

    However, they do require the mats:
    - Pterodactyl
    - Sphalerite
    - Cloud Cotton Boll

    ...which are apparently from Airship Missions to begin with. So ultimately, it'll come down to how hard it is to obtain these mats from the missions!

    These gear will also be used for spiritbonding/converting into Tier V materia. That will be another important function of i185. Thanks iambanana for the input!

    EDIT2:
    It is now known that they are Specialist Recipes and are 2 star items.

    iambanana has confirmed that these gear has NO MATERIA SLOTS. They're practically useless in end-game raids like Alex Savage. Their only functions are to make people's ilevel go up faster for Void Ark / Airship Missions and spiritbond to Tier V materia. Maybe they'll still sell OK on the MB? But it's not anything too great...

    Crafting is quite doomed until 3.2!
