The level of the best weapon you can craft?

[Liger]

Was wondering if it is worth it to buy or craft a lvl 70 weapon. maybe I am wrong, but an HQ lvl 70 lance melded with 5 rank 4 materia (3 determination and 2 critical hit) can be easily compared to a relic. Still it is not going to be the best weapon out there. You still have the relic +1. Considering the amount of time money and of course luck you need to craft that gear, I think it is better to go for a relic since I still can get my +1.
Again, crafting is falling behind compare to what you can get from dungeons and quests. So why can't crafters do a lvl 80 weapons?

Because the best things in the game should require effort to obtain, not gil.

Oh, the effort for lvling crafter and gathering class is less worthy compare to grinding dungeon?
Good to know that.

Not like getting Relic+1 is any effort whatsoever. Getting a level 70 crafted weapon with 5 melded IV materias is probably 10 times more effort/time than getting a Relic +1.

Ok... :/
But that is not what I meant. And by the way, crafting 2 star weapons and do forbidden melding require more effort than what you think.
My point was to have a better role for crafters in getting a worth while weapon.

It's being said that the best PvP gear will be crafted, so you can look forward to that. Hopefully it'll be true.

The effort in actually beating some of the end game content is a lot more worthy than just buying your way to success. Let's not encourage RMT activity even more.

It really doesn't. It requires throwing gil at it until the materia sticks. Crafting isn't difficult. >.>

So you're in agreement that crafters should be making the best weapons in the game, then? Because getting a crafting class to 50, getting all the required items for a two-star recipe, having the cross class abilities necessary to get a decent chance at HQing the item, and building, bonding, and converting the mountain of items needed for 5 IV-level materia of the appropriate stats is a far, far, FAR more involved and time consuming process than the +1 relic, as others have mentioned below you.

Says someone who apparently doesn't have any 40+ crafting or gathering classes. SE has actually done a fairly decent job with crafting, compared to others. It's not simply click to craft.

Hey man them FATE trains are hard!

Edit: Before people get too upset I'm only jabbing at how easy it is for people to level combat classes and am in no way commenting on end game dungeon content.

Lol
Why do you keep bring the issue of Gil to it! And now RMT.
I guess the best solution is to close the market and remove crafting. Will that make you happy ^^;
