lol yeah I noticed that too..was like wtf.

Lets say the MNK gloves have +25 DEX, +15 ATK, which is as strong as a triple meld tier3s. Its possible to triple Meld Tier3s to have gloves with +40 STR which may be better than the JSE (well in my particular example it would be).

The itemization probably isn't going to be 100% optimal, and all these new pieces may be situational.

Like always, its best just to do the "wait and see" approach instead of freaking out about every last vague detail they provide.

What that quote meant is that JSE will be stronger than multiple materia melded gear you could get from a crafter.

@Firon: When you can show me proof of someone leveling like you claim Pre ToAU, I'll retract my call of BS. Until then, you're just flapping your gums.

I played that game for years, and I was a job whore so I played them all. Never did I personally see any possible way to do as you claim back then nor did I ever hear anyone claim to have done so, until now.

I sort of interpreted that as them releasing even better JSE in the future that would have stats more potent than if we were even able to attach materia onto the initial set of AFs we'll get with 1.21.

It could definitely use some clarification though.

Huh?! Rukkirii can you please clear this up it was written kind of funny. do you mean Crafted + 1 materia < JSE. Crafted + 2 materia > JSE (or will be later?)

So i was reading this post yoshi did awhile ago, in producer letter XX i believe. I am wondering is there going to be stats on the jse that is exclusive in nature? "Haste,regen,ect.." Thats the example im giving, just a hunch.

"Crafter motivation and repairs
Crafters should place creating items as their highest priorities. Crafters should earn their respect through developing their skills to a high level. This is why we are spending a lot of time to implement the materia craft system.

I think that repairs should be easily accomplished through using a small part of the skills that crafters have spent so long to develop. Crafters should receive the most satisfaction out of creating challenging weapons and armor and exploring the materia craft system." http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...471#post318471 this is the link for refrence.

They posted before it won't be the same drop system as primals which maks me think it will be the new dungeons with lootable chest drops.

Nice. New info! Time to update the OP.

I'll see if I can't reorganize it too.
