New nodes

[XLauncher]

Does anyone know how much Gathering is needed to get an additional item from Bountiful Yield/Harvest? My melds are pretty okay right now, but if getting +3 is viable, I'm willing to push them a little so I can eat meat pies instead of moussakka.

The yellow scrip augmented gear only gives 1196 perception. So I don't see how it is remotely possible for anyone who doesn't have a huge amount of gil to keep up with the crafting and gathering market.

Here is a minimum meld set with the augmented gear. It isn't horrific but does require food.

Well that sucks.

Scrip gear unfortunately isn't meant to be top-tier gear, but a stepping stone between normal gear and melded gear. 1350 perception is easily reachable with very minimal melds.

An alternative to the above, using only tier IV & V so you don't even have to spend gil on materia, only scrips: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1510N

Thanks mine was more just to illustrate it doesn't need expensive melds and how easy it was.

Yeah I'm still like 40 points short.

Anyone got a melding list? I need to redo my gear.

My melds had been pretty good - 1370G, 1313P, 751 GP. My tools only had 6 GP melded to them, so I took the cheap and easy route and melded 4 T3 Perception (5 Perception) apiece, bringing me to 1353P. Having almost 300 of the things made that particular decision easy, though I expect that I may have to remeld, or regear, when the next tier of nodes comes along.

Am I doing something wrong then? I only have 1182 perception, and that's with the full head/body/hands/pants/feet.

Do you know which Folklore book you need for which ?

Do you know which Folklore book you need for which ?

Nightsteel ore and Silvergrace ore - Tome of Geological Folklore - Othard
Hingan Flax and Black Willow log - Tome of Botanical Folklore - Gyr Abania

I am pretty sure these are the two you will need. I have had all 6 books for several months.
