Luminary Tools ... are not any good :|

[Rak_Boy]

Lets compare:

Getting Luminary tool over double melding a high tool.

1- The time require to get one.
2- The gills needed to finish one.
3- Effort for looking to the recipe list.


I already got 2 and third on the way .. and got shocked that double melded are almost the same.

it is easier to get luminary crafting tools, than luminary gathering tools.

which is not fair

Synthesis is overall easier than gathering, that's not only the tool part

Hardly lol - meaning that its not just the synthesis (which I agree with that anyways ^_^)


For a gathering tool you have to get
20 (Grade 1), 300 (2), 1000 (3), 2000 (4), 4000 (5) for each zone (Limsa, Grid, Ul'd so you have to get 12,000 grade 5's).

Gathering takes a much more focused minigame so you cant watch a movie and gather effectively like you can crafting crap (like you pointed out already). But also you have a significantly larger resource count to acquire. (Sure you can say crafters have to buy their resources, but most crafters craft the really cheap stuff to get luminary gear, its not really expensive at all - or they do it during hamlet).

That's just what I said? Synthesis is easier than gathering.

None of the trophy items in this game are good.

[LlenCoram]

But they're shiny.

I really hope they can be "upgraded" when the level cap raises because I agree, they're not very good.

I imagine it's like a milestone, with a better tool to be obtained from later achievements (with cap increase and new achievements.) I figure the same thing will happen with AF and the paragon crown too.

Only time will tell.

They're just achievement rewards, not meant to be the best things ever..no upgrade necessary honestly. If you look at the requirements of synthesis for one it's literally designed in the way you'll get it shortly after hitting 50 if you don't strictly level on 10+ recipes over your current level.

Really, only the people who were long capped by their introduction had to grind for it but you can do every tool cheaply, even using the previous items you made for the next range. Gathering classes only does one thing: Gather, so of course it's a different set of requirements :|
