Thread: [DATs] Data Mining Patch 3.05    

There's also (seemingly) the assumption that there's no direct drop of gobgrade materials, which would be surprising but possible considering they do say "gear."

But fuck that, the real news is that Crafting/Gathering gear is job specific again. 13 combat jobs + 11 crafting/gathering classes = RIP Armory space.

1 slot for vanity!

Well, one thing that helps a ton with organizing your armory is the option to make items you get go into your inventory, instead of the armory.

A lot of people don't know about that checkbox. I greed everything in dungeons :3

1 slot for alternate gear pieces to optimize acc for different turns on your main job.

Not that secondary stats besides acc matter any more.

Man, this fucking DoL/DoH gear bloat. Seriously. And those materials? Fuck you, Yoshida. Just getting V materia is going to be awful enough to meld this shit properly..

The red script gear is suppose to be the equivalent of max melded gear, so I don't think you're going to be worrying about the T5s for the armor itself. The accessories however, yeah I agree. The only way that I've personally seen T5 being obtained was from the goblin in Black Brush, I don't know if there is an actual way prior to the current patch to actually get T5 from converting.

I thought it was supposed to (anectodal, since why not; it's probably like NQs being 90% of the HQ values or something) be like moderately worse than the actual melded shit.

3.0 patch notes

Grade five materia for crafting and gathering classes will not be available at the release of patch 3.0. They are scheduled to be added at a later date. However, it will be possible to receive grade five crafting or gathering materia via materia transmutation by speaking with Mutamix.

Given how formulaic this expansion has been thus far, gear upgrades aside, we'll probably see an Artisans v2. later in this expansion's life.

That's not actually answering anything we're talking about though, as there was no non-crafted alternative until 2.4 or whenever they introduced that garbage set.

This is specifically about the red scrips gear vs. the crafted-melded; the scrips gear was apparently supposed to be slightly-to-moderately worse than the crafted and melded. If this is true remains to be seen.

"You take 140540 damage." Faust is fun

Is there any information about the way the new recipes are unlocked in the .dat mining patch? Specifically I'm worried about a red script mastercraft IV book.

They're all Master III.

You're not going to like what you see though, as to how you go about making this shit.
