Has anybody figured out where the new ala mhigan weave and holy linen drop/are acquired?

You know what would be amazing for 4.25, being able to buy lower rank materia with red scripts

Both those mats came from Maps - lost canals. A friend of mine got both last night that way.

erm, you can buy materia IV and V's are you talking about I,II and the like you have to buy those with beast tribe. But I would also have like the option to buy everything below VI with scripts.

I've heard rumors about the stats for the 3 star gear being 1500 craft, 1350 control and 470 cp (without food/medicine buffs). Is this accurate?

Any suggested melds for this?

What rotation are you using and how many HQ mats are you trying? What about the 35 duro 3 star crafts? Do tell!

What rotation are you using and how many HQ mats are you trying? What about the 35 duro 3 star crafts? Do tell!

There's nothing new regarding rotations with the the 70 durab 3 star items in this Patch 4.2. I used the same rotation as I had used for special 2 star recipes. Since most of the mats I used were HQ, the final product was made HQ with ease as shown in my previous picture with lots of extra CP and durab left over.

The 35 durab 3 star items are a bit trickier, but not that difficult. It's all about "floating your durab" (letting your durab float up and sink down using Manip [before lvl 65] or Manip2) just like what we are so used to by now with all the 40 and 35 durab items we craft in the past few years. I pretty much start off with the same opening as I would manual craft a special 2 star recipes. But instead of 3 PBPs, I used only 2, then when durab is at 15, I activate Manip2. After that, I used a Patient Touch (durab down to 5, and then restores back to 10). Now I used Flawless Syn, and the durab will float back to 15. Keep going with Flawless Syn spam until durab is near max, use 1x CS III to burn off durab before it's maxed out by Manip2. Watch your CZ, refresh it before your durab hits max. At this point, your manip2 will have like 1 step left and your durab at 30. So hit Flawless again, and durab will be maxed. You will then see yourself completed most of the progress (about 400 progress remains), sitting at IQ3, and CZ already active, and durab at max. Looking perfect, you start off your quality with SH II and prudent spam. Use Hasty if necessary when CP is running out too quickly due to lack of Trick of Trades. Finish up with a IQ11 byregot's blessing (make sure you use Ingen2). And then a single CS II or CS III in the end to finish it.
