Wvr,alch and arm...A thought occured to me, with my current melds, specialist and saint tools could I reach the craft,control and cp zane showed.

Slapped the tools on my wvr who has specialist. To my surprise I was above what zane was showing for his saint setup. Cant say how happy I am, I have no interest in using crafted 510 battle gear myself or selling it. But the fact I can help a friend out thrills me to no end To note my control and cp where already well above what Zane was showing I was just short on Craftsmenship. Needed like another 40 or so to reach the mark didnt feel like Penta melding more, watching materia blow up is not fun. I am not flooded with gil and I am stock piling materia for Endwalker. So the fact the tool swap gave me the extra craftmenship is a blessing to me.
I can agree with this as I have helped at least 5 of my FC members in attaining Facet level gear and ashestes level gear to help their crafting game. It feels good when you help out another FC member by allowing them to make their own gear. I even had ALL the facet mats needed to help them out and I asked for nothing, but they offered tips. I have made MANY ashetes pieces to help others round out their set. My FC comes to me all the time to ask how to get scrips fast, attain mats quicker, mass crafting parties to flood a market to make gil for the FC. It feels good to be able to make some of the best gear to help my FC get up to required ilevel for raiding.

The challenge I find constantly is dividing my time equally to help as many as I can. While also trying to make GIL in the process. Recently I have found a lot of fun in making NQ gear items at the 80 mark, 500ilevel mark, and 490ilevel mark. Most people that are GIL conscious are more likely to spend 50k for a NQ, when the HQ is 100k asking price. They sell often and generally have almost NO price adjustments. Not everyone needs HQ, or don't want to pay for HQ.
