Yesterday was the launch of Final Fantasy XIV's patch 7.3. While a lot of players immediately hit the ground running to complete the MSQ, I spent my time preparing a list of materials I need to gather to make the new item level 750 crafting and gathering gear introduced in the patch. The gear should last until the end of the next expansion (ie patch 8.0), so now is the time to really go all-in as the gear should last around 12 months.
Each set consists of 10 pieces. First the gathering set. The names of the pieces are:
- Crested Hood of Gathering
- Crested Coat of Gathering
- Crested Gloves of Gathering
- Crested Slops of Gathering
- Crested Boots of Gathering
- Crested Earrings of Gathering
- Crested Necklace of Gathering
- Crested Bracelet of Gathering
- Crested Ring of Gathering
- Crested Ring of Gathering
The components needed to craft the pieces are:
- Cordia Lumber: 10
- Craftsman's Tri-solution: 17
- Cronopio Leather: 11
- Desert Lapis:10
- Diatryma Felt:15
- Mason's Abrasive: 27
- Octahedrite Nugget: 6
- Rhodochrosite: 5
Next comes the crafting set. The names of the pieces are:
- Crested Headband of Crafting
- Crested Shirt of Crafting
- Crested Gloves of Crafting
- Crested Culottes of Crafting
- Crested Boots of Crafting
- Crested Ring of Crafting
- Crested Necklace of Crafting
- Crested Bracelet of Crafting
- Crested Ring of Crafting
- Crested Ring of Crafting
The crafting set requires the same components, just in slightly different quantities.
- Cordia Lumber: 10
- Craftsman's Tri-solution: 17
- Cronopio Leather: 8
- Desert Lapis: 10
- Diatryma Felt: 16
- Mason's Abrasive: 27
- Octahedrite Nugget: 4
- Rhodochrosite: 8
Now for the fun part. Except for the Mason's Abrasive, all of the components require crafting. And even the Mason's Abrasive requires crafting since the item costs 500 purple crafting scrips. Here's how to acquire the rest of the materials.
Allagan Tomestones of Heliometry - That's right, the top end crafting and gathering gear requires running through dungeons. Each of the items below costs 20 Allagan Tomestones of Heliometry each, or a total of 3,720 tomestones to make both sets.
- Cronopio Skin: 38
- Diatryma Pelt: 62
- Hydrophobic Preservative: 40
- Neo Abrasive: 26
- Shaaloani Coke: 20
Orange Gathering Scrips - The next item is acquired by turning in orange gathering scripts. Levinchrome Aethersand costs 300 each and Condensed Solution costs 125. The total number of orange gathering scripts needed to make the two sets of gear is 16,200.
- Levinchrome Aethersand: 54
Orange Crafting Scrips - Next up are crafting scrips. Condensed Solutions cost 125 orange crafting scrips each, or a total of 6,750
- Condensed Solution: 54
Purple Crafting Scrips - As mentioned above, each Mason's Abrasive costs 500 purple crafting scrips. That's 27,000 purple crafting scrips total.
- Mason's Abrasive: 57
Legendary Nodes - Finally we get to the materials acquired from legendary nodes. Two nodes are new: Cordia Sap and Desert Lapis Ore. These nodes only appear twice during the Eorzean day, each time for two Eorzean hours. Figure that's about 5-6 minutes of real time. Below are the quantities of materials required for both sets of gear.
- Cochineal Pigment: 124
- Cordia Log: 80
- Cordia Sap: 136
- Desert Lapis Ore: 80
- Octahedrite: 40
- Raw Rhodochrosite: 52
- Shaaloani Coffee: 76
And below are the zones and times each of the legendary nodes is available.
- Cochineal Pigment -Yak T'el - 12am/12pm
- Cordia Log - Heritage Found - 6am/6pm
- Cordia Sap - Shaaloani - 4am/4pm
- Desert Lapis Ore - Kozama'uka - 8am/8pm
- Octahedrite - Heritage Found - 2am/2pm
- Raw Rhodochrosite - Yak T'el - 12am/12pm
- Shaaloani Coffee - Yak T'el - 10am/10pm
Of course, just buying everything off the market is much easier. But where's the fun in all that?
