New scrip gear (servers are up)

[Alistaire]

Maybe they convert to Grade V's with a higher % since they are ilv 180. I thought there would be a better avenue to get Grade V Crafting Materia, but so far I haven't seen any

Wow, just looked to doublecheck and yes, these are convertible.

Not only they are convertible. Honestly, the off-hands aren`t half bad if you intend to use em for your non-specialists, actually, with the release of specialist restrictions on many nice items that still sell for glamour reasons, investing 26 red scripts to get a sweet boost into the 2 star crafting realm isn`t really a bad choice.

Now the accesories on the other hand... Not even to soulbound are worth xD

Even the 150 accessories are 10 times better than these 180 ones and anyone who buys these 180 accessories isn't very smart. That's all I can think to say on it, really.

The offhands are fine though I guess, albeit overpriced at 3 weeks of scrips.

[Granyala]

For someone like yourself that's not going all out the new offhands are a similar investment to the scrip left side gear; better than an unmelded 170 offhand but not a fully melded one.

Naah. Forget it. Even with all 180s you will be severely HP gimped due to the necessity of eating food with + crafting/ctrl to even match the needed values. maybe enough for my GSM to do the Allagan weapons but forget HQing stuff.

Considering all the time it takes to get the full i180 set, this is so disappointing that I am done with crafting for this expansion.
