Three sets of gear now to choose from?

[Wizel]

Just making sure I was reading it right when looking over the patch notes.

We have the Augemented gear at ilvl 200, this uses the old ilvl180 gear which is upgraded using the new red scrip token items.

We have the Ironworks gear at ilvl 190 which is craftable and an upgrade of the old craftalbe ilvl 170 equipment, from the looks this equipment is NOT omni based, meaning you need to craft each piece for each class just like before.

Then there is something called "Carbonweave" that i noticed in Leatherworking/Clothcrafting section. Example "Carbonweave Vest of Gathering". The ingrediants are much simpler than the Ironworks gear but there is nothing on its ilvl in the "new items" section unless i missed it somehow.

I am guessing this is the omni gear but i have no idea what ilvl it is, maybe its 180 and meldable?

See http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post3723677 onwards, i170 omni and i190 omni are both craftable. 1 is a cheap omni replacement as is for your class specific i170, 1 is limited i190 craft

Oh, there's a 170 omnicrafting set I can craft? Score. Now I can finally upgrade my 150 set.

[akemura]

yup and is easy to craft.

[FoxyAreku]

Uh what? Ironworks 190 gear is an omni set...

yes it is.

btw really they going to be upgradeable the shitty MT ilvl180? (why?) have no merit farm like idiots red scrips for just upgrade a CASUAL tool.
damn!

[Nekotee]

there is 3 new set, but 2 are trap !

The carbon and upgraded red script are not useful if you want to craft efficiently
only the ironwork is the one true BiS

remember that the Carbon stuff forbid overmeld
so even fully melded it will be the same stat than old red script/new blue script i180 stuff

Maybe they are wanting it to be like our tools in 2.0 that we couldn't meld, like lucis.

So even full gear of melded carbon can't met 3 star craft or ironwork craft?

It can with food and proper tools.
