Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

Accidently bought x3 Savage Might IV's instead of Savage Aim IV's, after 3 of my Savage Aim IV's never melded the 3rd slot/29%. GG monnies. Rip 780k.

I got extremely lucky melding mine. I spent less than 120K gil to make and meld the belt. I had the majority of the materia needed banked so had to only purchase one Savage Aim IV (110K gil on my server).

Moogle me some of that half-priced materia!

(I know, you can't...wishful thinking...)

Haha... I can't make up my mind if I should have the wolfram head piece made or not. I did the belt only because my group is still stuck on Turn 8.

I made the belt just because its a T9 drop and I'm not banking on clearing it for a while (scheduling issues with my static right now) and I'm not counting on the belt dropping (also, was cheapest to get a perfect meld on...materia is really expensive on my server )

Material melding is an expensive but strangely satisfying past time. No where near as bad as 1.0 tho when a materia fail would mean losing the item, quad melded str gloves were extremely rare and powerful but hardly anyone would risk losing triple meld gloves worth like 20mil lol.

Also can confirm 0 misses in t9 @ 493 accuracy after a couple hours.

In the esteemed opinion of the Dragoons here, how far do you think one could go content-wise by sticking with solely crafted & melded armour for high-end content? I'd love to see if making myself a proper set of Wolfram gear and melding it as I go along (building up the materia and melding it as needed) would get me to the higher difficulties of content, or if doing that is some sort of scrub-tastic move. What do you guys think?

You can down t9 with penta melded everything and allagan spear or levi spear. So, all the way.
