How much Craftsmanship and Control do you think we'll need for the next recipes?

Unfortunately I joined the game after Heavensward was released, so I never got to experience the Lucius tools.

But if the Craftsmanship rating is indeed beloe 1000, that would be wonderful.
I hit 1000 on weaver with specialization and 1 +11 Craftsmanship materia on the main hand and nothing on the OH yet.
Craftsmanship is at about 970, I believe.

I was beginning to worry that the requirements would be around 1020 / 980 for new recipes and I'm relieved that others believe it will be less.
After all, it seems difficult to reach that requirement with augmented red scrip gear, unless people rely on food buffs AND company actions.

I found the Ironworks gear surprisingly easy to make once I got the mats. The only difficulty was clearing the requirement, which required CAs, food, and pentamelding on MH and OH.

Some people on my server are already preparing for the worst, by overmelding Grade 5 materia on the Body, MH, and OH. It's crazy!

I could see 1020 Craft, but 980 control seems really high. If they set control that high seafood stew would be the only food option you could use, or put a ton of control melds into your main and offhand, leaving zero room to increase both control and craft on a 4.5 star craft. Stat capped control pre melds on main/off is 952 with soul stone. We are more likely to see something like 1000/950, which would allow you to hit both mins, pre food, pre melds on main/off, using the soul stone.

Assuming no new mainhand to get, then 4.5 star will be like 1025/975 (if we compare the increase from 3 to 3.5 star)

.... unless they unleash a beast of requirements with no new gear, cause they made the i190's sets to easy to make.....

Short answer: Too much, even with full ilvl190+ gear and tools.

Long answer: I am thinking more along the lines of a bit over 950 on Craft and control as a start. GP requirements for a more safe rotation will also increase, maybe 469 or something like that.
