Coming into its Own [How are you faring with it?]

[Dualblade]

We'll see when the patch notes come tonight. I'm currently leaning to no changes to the current steps, with a small side of hope that the Unidentified items are reduced to 10 each instead of 20. If that happens I assume the HQ items would be reduced to 2 each.

I honestly don't know what the next part will be like, but from what I've heard 3.3 will be the one were we can fiddle with the stats (and no Alexandrites to worry about.) I'm currently saving Materia just in case for that.

I really need to start saving that as well - I was selling it all to help fund the Coming into its Own step, but then got lucky with a couple music drops and surged ahead of what I needed to buy them outright (agree with Kiba, Faerie's prices are still floating pretty high...they didn't really budge at all after the specialist change as apparently happened on other servers)...still selling well enough and used that to fund some other music I wanted and a minion.

Might keep selling for another week or two, then begin the stockpiling process.

Of course, if it turns out they aren't needed and everyone else did the same thing...bye bye materia market for a while.

As for the step itself, about halfway through the tokens. Didn't do much progress (basically, none) through most of January and part of February from spending a lot more time in some other games before refocusing my efforts here. Still being fairly casual about it, I expect to finish by the end of April...

Would be sooner, but I know I'm gonna binge Dark Souls 3 when it comes out so that's up to a week of probably beast tribe quests only in this game.
