Augmented i350 crafted gear is a disappointment

[ChameleonMS]

I am disappointed that this "green" gear cannot be over melded.
I haven't had a chance to run a full comparison yet but as a tank, i350 over-melded accessories are generally the way I role. I was truly hopeful that this new gear would allow over melding and actually provide me an upgrade.

I think it's more there to offer another way to get through the ilvl block than an actual improvement . Interesting coincidence this was introduced on the same patch they added the Greed-only rule to alliance raids.

It can be over melded unless it says otherwise. What gear are you trying to over meld? Normally is VI on slots otherwise V. Just remember the higher the materia tier the lower the percentage of success.

I can understand accessories being overmeldable, but left side cannot be overmeldable. It would make the new Ivalice gear even more DoA than it already is.

My BRD buddy ran a test on a headpiece yesterday. He could not over-meld it. He used junk Tier 3 Skill speed materia for the testing.

So, your saying I should try again with a right side piece? I will do so tonight.

Advanced melding forbidden.

Treat this gear the same way you'd treat 24 man gear, it's just another way to get gear for alts.

No, none of the gear is actually overmeldable. But I can understand a request to the devs of asking for the accessories to be overmeldable as besides crafted gear, tomestones and the savage raid, there is no other way to get accessories.

Oh! thanks for notifying about this, I almost removed the pentameld from my gear to augmented D:

dumb question, but where do I augment crafted gear?

Rhalgar's Reach, 4.3 Patch Notes

A new shop has been added, allowing players to further enhance the craftable item level 350 gear introduced in patch 4.2.

Players can trade their craftable item level 350 gear with J'tandhaa in Rhalgr's Reach (X:9.6 Y:11.6) in exchange for Resistance tokens. These tokens, along with a specific enhancement item, can be exchanged for item level 360 gear.

i350 gear gives you resistance tokens. The other item you need is purchased with Creation.
