lol by the time you could farm an okote, you were probably the level 75 being an ahole farming a level 34 glove. Or maybe you wre the profiteer blm who had no use for it and would sell it.

Im sorry but that model wasnt a good one.

That said we really dont know what the plan is for items, the gear we had got oudated more because the game was drastically changing, than any concrete plan. Also building materia peices will probably last you a very long time, even if some new gear comes out tmr, and its slighty better than your base item, the +3 with 3 materia on it is worth more and more useful until you can make/find a similiarly hqed or materia'd item.

And to be perfectly honest a heavily materiad item is more unlikely, and takes more resources than any other item out (including ifrits weapons which are no probably fairly common in ul dah)
