Thread: 3.3 crafting thread

I think the logic is for omnicrafters to craft their shared slots and gain an overall boost across all jobs (without needing to buy a goblin leftside for each job).

From there you can either make your main/off hands or buy the goblin versions.

I strongly doubt that 4 star, to be released either 3.35 or 3.4, will have stats that low. Expect to have to have needed your i190 gear almost to the max to be able to do 4 star stuff.

I180 was not enough, in and of itself, to reach 3 star stats - it took a certain craft/control food to do it, and that cost a ton of CP. Expect history to repeat itself with the i200 and 4 star stuff.

This is a cheap path to play catch up as a fresh 60 crafter and get the stats TO MAKE ironworks gear.... not REPLACE ironworks gear. That would be silly.

This provides the stats for current 3 1/2 star synths at minimal time/gil cost, and then after you can worry about pentamelding the ironworks set for 3.4 content.

I agree with you, they are practically giving away the ability to 3.5 star synths. It is a shame

That's more because the i180 accessories were absolutely garbage, and had nothing to do with the left side i180 gear.
You can reach 3-star stats with full i180 left side/offhand + melded i170 accessories/belt + Seafood Stew. Heck, it'll even put you just 1 craftsmanship below the requirement for the ironworks crafted gear.

Expect 4-star requirements to be similar, with it being possible to reach with full i200 left side and melded i190 accessories/belt (possibly even i170), and either control/CP or craft/CP food.

What i dislike is that there are giving away shortcut and cheap way to reach (more or less) the level of high end Crafter that spend time in it

Well the thing is... people waiting for augmented stuff to craft have to wait long time for red script which is a slow process
While crarfted gear Crafter goes for red>blue script for 180 desynth and craft a lots of ironwork

This has been, script vs crafted. You wait longer but have the guaranteed stats but it isn't customizable, that is just preference.

Honestly, the fact that favors are much easier now and that I have to do less to get the equivalent is fantastic imo. I was already 2 star before, but I was able to do heavy crafting over the past few days and am now 3.5 star on weaver and almost 3 star on everything else. So I can craft most of the IW pieces to help FC mates upgrade as well. It also helps that moogle give you 2 tokens per quest once you reach rank 3 or 4, whatever it is.

Oh, and the modified Raths rotation for 2 star still works on 3 and 3.5 star
