Upgrading U/U items to make them better.

[Shneibel]

But theres no primal gear is the issue. Theres plenty of rare drop gear in Darkhold that is completely worthless because of melds though. If we could have it like this

Level 1 u/u - as it is now
level 2 u/u - about as good a single meld
level 3 u/u - a bit worse than a double meld
level 4 u/u - a bit better than a double meld
level 5 u/u - a bit worse than a tripple meld

It gives u/u equipment some real worth, but it would have to require a lot of components, like upgrading tier 2 abyssea gear in XI

that s why you can turn them in for gc seals at 1.21. Se can re-stat the bonus but they don't

edit: remind the FFXIV version you re currently playing is a "fake", the real version is at next year. So just wait and not agree with random

But unless they plan to add better gear you can buy with GC seals its pointless, all the lvl 50 GC gear is crap.

not all of them, if you check all the gear:

craft pants +15 craftsmanship (you can survive w/o but with it you can use another piece of gear for more M craftsmanship)

the 3 shield (grid got the best block rate of 168 or so while Uldah got the best dmg reduce and the LL is both and give +10 atk power)

2 rings

Chocobo gear at 1.21 (useless, but they will be decent at 2.0 and you cant craft them, only buy from GC)

end of the line: look at the vision the game is heading

edit : forgot the shield at grid as well +10 m accuracy, decent for THM
