Gathering BiS 700GP

[Alsar]

What do you think of this BiS? Any corrections/improvements? I tried to use as little V as possible.

I think you must be very, very rich. X3

5 Gatheing and 2 Perception t5 Materia? Ouch.

[blueruckus]

T5 gatherer's materia is actually pretty cheap right now. I threw one in every guaranteed slot of my gear and ended up at around 963/937/700. This gear is going to last you till next Spring so might as well go big.

This is my BiS

I'm not getting this BiS though. I have no interest in 700 gp without food at the moment. As you can also see, I melded the i170 accessories with the same melds I put on the i190. I invested too much gil in my i170 accessories during patch 3.2 to simply replace them one patch later.

Currently I am using some cheap vendor food from Ishgard to reach 700 GP and I will do this until 4.0 if not more.


Edit: We really didn't need more accessories. lol.

Edit2: Also you gotta be kidding if you're getting this gear and not investing in V materia when this is literally the patch they are making it easier to obtain.

I'm still using normally melded Dodore gear from 2.x & I have over 600GP & can get HQ from any node (well, once I improve the offhands from lvl59 - can't get the 60** yet).

If you don't mind the rare miss then standard Dragonskin gear is fine for now, especially as 3.35/3.4 will see new accessories (definitely) & possibly even a new main tool upgrade.

The new accessories will be i200, presumably acquired the same way the current i200 gathering gear is obtained.

Do you really want to use the i200 accessories, after the i180 accessories were such a flop?

The question is, will BiS gear give you the stats needed to clear nodes using less GP? It seems people still need to spend the 100 GP to guarantee the legendary nodes. Will this gear bring us to the 5% or less miss rate?

Aside from that, new nodes in 3.5/3.4 or whenever they add them might dictate the need.

I don't believe that any gear allows 100% on legendary nodes due to hard caps. I think it's designed so that even if you have twice the required stats you will still not get 100% until the next level up, which will be with 4.0 I imagine. The 2.x ones were at 95% even ifif highly overgeared until 3.0 arrived.

The 5% is based on level, not gear.

Ever notice that some items are capped at 95%-99%? Not just 95%? It's cus those are probably level 57/58/59 items.
