and my tips on anyone wanted to get all 4star craft cheapest way that i found is to max meld accessory and go for control build for the apron. And forgo the melding for the artisan offhand, or if you want to, just slap in CP 3 in all of the offhand. I personally put in control IV and CP 3 in all of my offhand.

accessory>artisan left side> artisan mainhand > artisan offhand > while crafting for turn in supra always aim to get 3 hq, reclaim if u have to! so u can use it for the masterbook II i did this for most of my class >supra mainhand > lucis tool> masterbook II (if somehow u fail to hq it in previous attempts).

And level up desynth on LTW for FC3 or BSM(best) / GSM for MCD

Good feed. This also really depends whether your main hand is a supra or lucis. Just to share, the progress checkpoint i noticed in 4 star progress is 520 progress. As long your synthesis can hit 520 on the last 2 Careful Synthesis steps, you do not need any more craftmanship. If your last 2 progress steps hits > 520, example 532/5xx progress, then your craftmanship is over melded.

Assuming body gear and acc are max meld (these are the univesal item that we always max meld because can be used by all doh classes), the really optional thing to consider is only the offhand. During Supra time, i have an offhand with craftmanship IV, Craftmanship IV, Craftmanship IV, Craftmanship IV, CP + 3. with company buff i could actually earn a free steps in 4 star. But now with majority using Lucis, we dont need that much craftmanship anymore on offhand. Throwing a few control IV or III would be helpful. CP+3 on offhand is utter crucial. One do not want to come to breygot blessing stage with 23cp..

You are not gonna believe it, but i already have 14 screenshots or more saved in my folder showing 92-95% and gotten NQ. 14 freaking NQ artisan parts @ > 95% quality. Dont you wish your offhand was hot with some extra control sometimes, for the multiplier. : /

hoarding mats and levelling desynth, planning to do all that but kinda busy playing witcher 3, this game is so long.

Haha true. However this expansion is going to be harder to predict. Unlike before where we roughly know a few items like potash etc would be useful.

Heavensward seems like going to be a total new expansion. Am expecting new gathering nods, new dungen materials replashing the tomes item, new IV materia, etc. I have to say im sceptical to horde items now compare to when 2.55 was launched.

kinda disappointing with 3.0 crafting. Ridiculously easy to level with leve and daily company turns in. and masterbook 3 has nothing worthwhile to craft except gear for dol/doh. hoping they will add more stuff after alexander comes out.

Fully agree with you mate.I was so excited that I took a day off work to do it. Then I keep exploring and then I see what is going on then I see what it can do then I... went playing the last of us.

Btw, specialization my arse. at least in this patch tongue.gif

Off topic. After engaging in the economy for some time, Sometime I feel like this is the war economy. The more reason people have to start a war or to fight something, the more profit we crafters or the so called "club house" gets when the demand for weapons and military equipment increases. Im happy they released alexander and bismark ex fight. We crafters can start supplying axe and spear to soldiers and send them to war. We will make the weapon they use, the potion they drink, the food they consume, and the land plot for the tombstone and grave of those fallen soldier crushed by bismark. lol.

Joke aside, hows everyone doing on DOH for heavensward? Didn't had the chance to play lately due to work. Sure miss working out the economy of Heavensward again. She is always a fascinating puzzle to solve. My little contribution to the gang:

- Gordian furniture
- Bismark barding
- Hive barding
- Thavnarian sets (Popularity rank: Chest, Tights, head piece, gloves)
- i150 crafter set - low margin, but fast moving.
- Recently all the i112-i145 gears are having higher selling price now as old quest reward stocks has depleted and more ppl are progressing through MSQ.

And brace for impact when Ishgard houses are launched. Based on forecast, Glazenut demand will surge soon as ppl will need the furnitures for crafters (culinary, weaving etc). Stock up some if you can.

There seems to be a lot of ppl complaining in the official forum that the new craft are hard, almost impossible to get, takes a long time, too expensive, and they will probably add a few more notes after they gather everything and gotten NQ and rage.

I just want to say the difficulty is excellent. Finally there is a challenging craft that is worthy of our time. Rather than just mindless macros and flood mb with mass production of cheap product. Bring it on SE. Show us what you got. We don't run from a good fight.

Problem with the new redscript is the amount of time spent on gathering favors for the new 2 star crafting. Up to 11hr + per week of gathering just to be able to do 11 craft per week is, meh.

New 2 star craft for dow/dom is only ilvl 180. And since the materials required to craft them is gated behind the red script. its gonna cost an absurd amount of gil to make 20mil+. why would anyone bother making it since u can just easily get tome gear.

Im just hanging in till they released ilvl 180 accessory - this would probably be BiS in some dow/dom.

3.0 crafting just felt like the devs is kicking crafters to the balls. so much content gated. crafters are left with nothing to craft except food and pots nowadays.

It just feels like yoshi is butthurt because raiders clear t13 in a week with crafted gear. So this time around to halt progression and prolonging content they are gating crafters.

Even the new 2* doh/dol craft is not necessary to craft the new 2 star recipe or to gather from the legendary node.

New 2 star difficulties is easier than doing 2nd mastercraft book and lucis. About the same as 4 star difficulty items. Problems is the absurd cost of the materials that makes ur palm sweat when u craft those.

tldr- the best time to join in for the crafting fun is at the end of a patch lifecycle where the content is fully fleshed out and all the grind has been 'fine tuned' . If u a wanna be a pioneer than better grit ur teeth through the grind.

Yeah agree with you on the first 2 points. I tried following gatherer mining nods and this is not something that working class ppl like us can follow. 4+ nods per hour and the favour is rng driven (2-6 per favour) I did gathered some minor mats enough to make 3 piece new 2 star gear. took a long time to sell.

New i180 DOM/DOW will cost a bomb and yes, its easily replaceable with Alex or EOS gears. Plus the look are exactly the same as i160. There doesn't seem to be incentive or reward to drop a bomb of time and effort to obtain. Nor a potential market to sell it in these times.

I can see most ppl are disliking 3.0 crafter system. Its too hard and time consuming, and worst of you NQ the final product. But in a way, I kinda like it. Reason being its finally is something difficult that ppl cant macro like machine and flood the mb with 5 piece per person for all item all range. This is something ppl need to plan carefully, and there is risk involved. I like the difficulty and gates implemented. although I know 90% of the community will not agree with this.

The new crafter gear looks cool btw. Very fashion forward.

Nice avatar : 3

haha mog station is kinda all the old seasonal even items.

For crafter side, im not sure if my recipe is up to date, but I don't find anything that is worth hunting rare mats for. Thanavarian dress is dirt cheap in mb now. Damn I still have lots of mats before price went down and I quit game! xD

Still looking for that rare glamor that crafter can make. Anyone exiting player who has any idea, please share. thx.
