Thread: 3.3 crafting thread

I think the green gear is pretty helpful to craft 3 star gear isn't it? (Or to make i190?)

I dont understand one thing.
I Read that 180 scrip gear its buyable with blUE scrip.its possibile to go full 180 and then craft the 190 omni? Ive enought stats for it? I dont have much time to spend and Ill try to find better way to craft 3*

It is possible yes. Here's one way with "seafood stew HQ" (you need to add the Free Company Bonus +10 Control and +5 Craftsmanship):

Left side blue, except belt, tools 180, right side acessories white and enough CP for Rath's Rotation.

If you invest into the ilvl 200 tool and/or Body, it is even easier. If you switch to ilvl 170 belts and accessories, it will become much easier.

Oki ty
Think that carbonweave set its the way to go to start 3*

I made the i190 bodypiece hq last night. With all hq mats (my alchemist friend got lucky at 42% and got me some hq luminous fibers ), I had like 5000 initial quality, which made it really easy to hit 100%. My normal three star rotation worked just as well on this as it did the other things. Compared to my pentamelded i170 weaver chestpiece, the stats were roughly the same, with only minor of a few points (with the i190 unmelded so far), so it's definitely waaaaay better than i170.

Oh, the 3 hq luminous fibers alone gave me like 1200 or 1800 quality I think, I forget the exact amount but that should be roughly how much you get from the 3 hq fibers.

I'm sorry for the trouble, but I'd appreciate some help.

I've regularly been capping Red Scrips and purchasing Tokens for DoH/DoL,

I've never spent any of the tokens however, and I'm still wearing i150/i140 MH/OH, minimum melded Chimerical set for DoH (i150) and Serpentskin min melded for DoL (i150). I still have the 3 soul of crafters from the quest unlock, having never committed to a specialty. Also, I'm still wearing the max melded BiS accessories from 2.55. (Essentially I've been doing the Doh/Dol grind for months but never went passed the 'get your 9 weekly tokens,' part)

I suppose it would make sense for me to finally take the next steps in gear progression, but I'm wondering how I should best handle it with the 3.3 adjustments. Now with new gear, should I be trying to leap frog?

IIRC, I was told before to purchase the i180 BSM offhand tool, then with it craft the 2-star i170 Offhands and meld for other DoHs. Has this changed? Should I just buy the token belt/accessories, or is the crafted + melded necessary?

Essentially, what would you do in my situation? Obviously I'd like to move towards the universal set for omni-crafting as the 'end goal.' Tryng to catch up.

http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/UCTQ (never linked an ariyala set before myself, did I do it right?) Craftsmanship/Control/CP: 661, 648, 358. Not sure why Craft/Control is much lower on the link.

thanks for the help, I'm overwhelmed. I thought waiting would make things more simple, but now Im' more confused.

You must have a ton of red script token then?

Two options:
One:
Convert them to Blue (get 4 for each) and gear up everything but belt and accessories to the i180 (grind more Blue to do this if needed). Now craft the i170 belt and accessories from the old red script mats, which will now to super cheap, meld them up, you are now 3 star.
Two:
Get someone to craft you the i170 shared set. Convert those red script tokens to crafting materia, and meld the shared set up. 3 Star.

Personally, I would say option 1, as if you have the i180 mainhands you can then upgrade them to i200 over crafting the i195 potentially.

Anyone know how to make the new Glamour stuff the Moonfire.
