Ruby EX weapons can't be anything below 385 really or crafted would make it obsolete. It already nearly does.

Crafted is an utter joke to make now. I made an entire 480 set on day one. It can even be pentamelded and materia rains from the sky nowadays. It would be silly if the only gear drop from the EX trial of this patch was worse than something we can throw together in 40 sec with a few easily obtained mats.
