1. New 3.3 Crafted gear will be shared across all classes, while the Red Scrip gear will be class specific.

2. New 3.3 Crafted gear will have ALL slots released (Accessories included), while Red Scrip Accessories and Secondary tools will not be available until 3.4.

3. Suggests that the new Best Tribe story quests will reward Tier IV materia and not Tier V as the update thread states, though this could be a typo.

There are two types of equipment, one which can be crafted and shared across all classes, and another which can be exchanged with red scrips and are class-specific. The item level for the red scrips version is set higher; however, players may utilize advanced materia melding on the crafted pieces, which can prove advantageous in the long run. In Patch 3.3, we'll introduce every piece of equipment for the crafted version, but for red scrips version, the secondary tool, belt, and accessories will be added later in Patch 3.4.

We've also made adjustments to how frequently gathering and crafting materia can be obtained. Players will be able to collect grade IV materia at a much quicker rate. Players will also be able to collect grade IV materia by completing the beast tribe story quests introduced in Patch 3.3, and we have also prepared other avenues to collect them.
