Khepri Jacket and Khepri Kecks are about equally difficult to get. I was really surprised that we got any augment reports for Khepri Kecks before bonanza because I figured they were nearly unmakable. Now it turns out the reported augment was wrong/fake. Paint me surprised. It's kind of sad that I have the abjuration, enough gil to buy them for millions more than anyone else, and still chose them for Bonanza because I knew I would never see the Hexed. Heck, I've been camping AH for Staghorn Coral and still haven't managed to buy any.

It's nice that the best Huginn piece is also the easiest to make. We don't know what augment the head has, but it's probably going to be Crit rate or haste or something.

**Churchill** · 2012-07-31 12:51

Seems like such a waste when it HAS to have TA/QA to beat Valk body and there are so many other good pieces from Hexed-1 to choose from.

Edit: Reference to not knowing. Also, you NQ'd it. Buy more legion things and HQ it.

**Chamaan** · 2012-07-31 13:02

No, YOU buy more Abbazabbas and HQ it. I'm bout ready to post a bug report on this awful augment.

**Squah** · 2012-07-31 13:04

Inb4 HQ is QA+3

**Churchill** · 2012-07-31 13:16

I can't HQ it because I didn't waste my prize on it lol

**Tricen** · 2012-07-31 13:35

I saw a Chatoyant staff with PDT -1% on it.

**TheDangerousDave** · 2012-07-31 14:10

I'd sign a petition on offical forums to say this is BS, I know it won't mean much but if as many people as possible from BG put their name on it they might listen? They have been much better since the OF started anyway. And the stat cannot change with HQ, only value, unless it is a bug and it's meant to be something else+5 and the HQ gave the correct value.

**Slycer** · 2012-07-31 14:24

Haste+6 on Khepri Kecks were NQ or HQ result? Wondering if it goes up to 7 or down to 5 (lulz).

**Churchill** · 2012-07-31 15:38

It has DT on it, MDB seems like a logical stat.

Um, unsure about this but, iirc I got 830~ ponzes of cinder out of it, if it helps

Are T1 crafters becoming semi-common or is that still going to be a roadblock? The combination of Sealord Leather and Staghorn Coral is pretty brutal regardless, though spamming (lol) Bismarck for the abjuration adds some supply for the former.

Well, it's not possible to Tier 1 a 110 Cloth (Kecks), Gold (Haubert), or Wood synth at the moment due to their lack of crafting torques.

Bone (Jacket) could theoretically Tier 1 the synth at 109, but Dux Scale Mail caps at 107 and it'll take you a minimum of about 80 Staghorn Corals and Penelope Cloth pairs to get from 107 to 109. Judging by the AH, that's several months worth of those mats from several servers, which you'd either have to transfer yourself or raise the price so much that RMT AH bots do it for you. So that synth is effectively Tier 0 too, but someone skilling on it is likely to HQ at least once. Assuming he tries to pass the cost off to the buyer (the way I did), that's a lot of gil.

So those synths are all effectively Tier 0 and cost >4mil per synth with near-unsellable NQs (200-400mil to craft them assuming you can even find the materials).

Three months after the crafting cap raise (I think?) via FFXIAH searches:
Alchemy : 11 over 100, 2 of them over 102 (110 max)
Bonecraft : 57 over 100, ~1/3 of them over 102 (106 max)
Clothcraft : 12 over 100, 5 of them over 102 (108 max)
Cooking : 148 over 100, 12 of them at 110
Goldsmithing : 25 over 100, 6 of them over 102 (104 max)
Leathercrafting : 56 over 100, ~half of them over 102 (110 max, Zouri)
Smithing : 34 over 100, 16 of them over 102 (107 max)
Woodworking : 101 over 100, most of them over 102 (2x 110 max)

So no, Tier 1 crafters for those synths cannot exist and certainly aren't common. Tier 1 crafters for stuff like Huginn Gambieras are more common (104 goldsmiths) than they used to be.

I have 107 bone on my mule. 104 gold on my main. Have popped a Hexed Wristbands -1 that are currently sitting in bazaar until I can figure out what to charge for them. Staghorn and Penelope's cloth extremely rare on siren. Coral is over 2m, cloth is 1m. Not making a push for 110 until I finish gun and gold isn't going anywhere for the near future as Ormolu appear once every two weeks and are currently 2.5m. Have the sollerets for feet but holding off waiting on getting ingots from legion, since NQ is going to be flat 5m loss.

**Nightfyre** · 2012-07-31 18:08

Noted... at least I can theoretically get Bonnet +1 right now, and the mats for that aren't quite as bad. Guess I'll stockpile mats for later attempts at Kecks -1 while I try for that abjuration.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-07-31 18:17

Honestly, I think SE expected Legion to be wildly popular and that's why we don't have the mats to actually skill up / HQ these armors.

Staghorn Coral: http://www.ffxidb.com/items/3546
Penelope's Cloth: http://www.ffxidb.com/items/3544

PS. If you want to know what drops from Legion mobs FFXIDB is hard to beat. Hooray for serious endgamers using third party applications, amirite?

**Minihex** · 2012-07-31 18:30

Thank you Byrth, been searching for a who drops what in Legion

**Nightfyre** · 2012-07-31 18:37

Too bad Legion is a ways off from even having the potential to be wildly popular. It's not at all surprising to me that it didn't take off, but that's SE for you.

they need to change the way some of these crafting are obtained or push the cap to 120 or give us another feeder syth there is no way in hell im paying 320mill(about 4mill per syth on bismarck) to skill my bone from 107 to 109 for a tier1 on the jacket..

**Omnipotent** · 2012-07-31 18:41

Let alone paying 4M, on Quetz materials are almost non existent.

pushing the crafting to 120 aint gonna help if there is no synth you can skill up on. Smithing is getting brutal after 105... some new synth on last update helped the other crafts, but smithing and goldsmithing got shafted.
