Questions about possible timing of future recipes

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

We already have 2 star gear right now, you have to buy masterbook 5 at level 70 with red scrips in rhalgr's reach. As for 3 star, the new recipes usually are added at the same time as the omega savage raid. Crafting endgame right now only requires you to meld the white level 70 crafter omni set to be able to make everything including 2 star recipes (yellow scrip gear is actually inferior to a fully melded white omni-set). Melding simply involves reaching whatever the stat requirement is for being able to make the highest star recipes available and having enough CP to do a rotation that allows you to reliably HQ everything (currently around 470 before food).

You likely won't be able to reach 3 star stat requirements with currently available gear. However, there is not 2 star crafting gear in the game yet either, so my guess is the next tier of crafter gear will be 2 star and you can make it with current 2 star rotations/gear. That gear set will need to be melded in order to reach 3 star requirements. So in other words the best thing you can do right now to prepare is just make sure you can make the gear that is already available in the game. After that just stockpile materia because you'll need it for the next tier (patch 4.2)
