Explorer's Tabard (Why?)

It does, but Melding success rate has never deterred me! BREAK ALL THE THINGS!

I just prefer to stack 1 stat and have multiple sets of gear than to mix and match.

You must be drowning in gil, materia and pieces of equipment. I get incredibly frustrated just trying to do a simple double meld, draining me of my time and my gil and emptying the wards of affordable materia. Yeah, I really hate this materia system.

Not a fan personally either, I just spiritbond all the time. I do have a nice amount of gil if I do feel the need to purchase materia, but most of it is created by me.

Tortoiseshell looks cooler.

So now it looks like Darksteel Haubergeon +1 is pretty boss. Even the NQ is nice if you don't need that extra 7 PIE, which if you were using Cobalt Haub before you wouldn't have had anyway.

I really do want it, but after finally getting that triple on cobalt i'm not going to bother, as i'm pretty much capped anyway. If I hadnt made one yet though that thing is amazing, especially HQ. I just like the look too

It's rather challenging to HQ, though, seeing how the garlean steel plate is super rare and how HQ coke doesn't exist. IIRC the recipe itself is also much more difficult than any other armourer ones I've tried.
