Questions about possible timing of future recipes

[Kaurhz]

I wouldn't go ahead and make any speculation throughout any point in the expansion with crafting. It's nice to have the foresight of what to expect and when to expect it. E.g. When the crafted versions of the yellow scrip gear will come out. Which will probably be in the duration of 4.1 patch-line. It actually differs from Heavensward as we got the red scrip gear, and the equivalent of it on Patch 3.05 (Hyperlink)

If you want to prepare, just know that the next set is without a doubt the yellow-scrip gear equivalent, and that it's going to require melding to reach the next set of crafted stuff (3*?). Going to require a metric tonne of materia.

For best bets, just stock up on materia until that time comes, through spiritbonding, or just grinding red scrips, or both. Keep it spare for when you know the melding requirements, then the amount you need to spend is reduced. Then meld on the day it's released.

In between that time you can either do temporary melds on the gear, like CP etc, etc. Or just stick with your old gear and store the yellow scrip equivalent for when you permanently meld.
