Hi.
I just have some questions regarding end game equipment.

For my gatherers, I have ilvel 180 equipment that you can buy with blue scrips.
Would that be enough for all gathering contents?
What can I do more with higher ilevel equipment?
Or what would be the minimum gathering and perception?

For my crafters, I am planning to craft ironwork set
as higher craftmanship/control would help crafting high level HQ items.
Is there any good alternatives?
For materia, what should I focus more?
craftmanship? control? CP?
Is there a need to penta meld the equipment?

Thanks in advance.
