Crafting The Courtly Lover's Healing Set In Final Fantasy XIV's Patch 7.4

For Final Fantasy XIV's newest patch, 7.4,  I decided to craft the latest healing gear before starting out on the MSQ journey. I figured that having gear at item level 770 would guarantee I wouldn't run into a gearing block for either the patch 7.4 or patch 7.5 MSQ. I had done my prep and thought I was set to easily craft everything provided nothing went wrong.

The Courtly Lover's Healing Set

The crafted set for patch 7.4 is the Courtly Lover's sets. As a white mage main I naturally chose the healing set along with the white mage weapon. As usual I could only prepare so much. Of the nine crafted components needed to make the set, I could only gather the materials for three before the patch hit the servers:

• Black Star (5)
• Ra'Kaznar Ingot (2)
• Thunderyards Silk (4)

Honesty, I had enough materials in my inventory just through normal gameplay. In addition, I also could gather up the needed Levinchrome Aethersand through doing the leveling grind of Cosmic Exploration. The materials needed to make the first set of items is:

• Levinsilk (20)
• Magnesia Powder (22)
• Ra'Kaznar Ore (10)
• Raw Black Star (15)

Now for the five new items. They are:

• Double Duraluminum Ingot (4)
• Fulgurpine Lumber (4)
• Grade 4 Gemsap of Mind (17)
• Mastodon Leather (9)
• Rose Garnet (7)
• Urqopacha Linen (10)

The new required component items are sourced from two different places. The first group are the new timed nodes. For reference I found them at the following times and locations.

Rose Garnet Ore - Hhusatahwi, Shaaloani - midnight-2am / noon-2pm

Windspath Water - Leynode Aero, Living Memory - 2am-4am / 2pm-4pm

Carnauba Leaf - Ok'hanu, Kozama'uka - 4am-6am / 4pm-6pm

Urqopacha Flax - Wachunpelo, Urqopacha - 6am-8am / 6pm-8pm

Fulgurpine Log - Leynode Aero, Living Memory - 8am-10am / 8pm-10pm

Dense Aluminum Ore - Electrope Strike, Heritage Found - 10am-noon, 10pm-midnight

Here were the amounts I needed. I just made my life simpler and hit each of the nodes twice. I'm pretty sure that will get enough materials for any of the Courtly Lover's sets.

• Rose Garnet Ore - 28
• Windspath Water - 51
• Carnauba Leaf - 36
• Urqopacha Flax - 40
• Fulgurpine Log - 16
• Dense Aluminum Ore - 16

There were also three items I could already gather required to make the new items. They are:

• Pearl Grass (17)
• Yak T'el Spring Water (17)
• Levinchrome Aethersand (30)

I also needed to visit Zircon in Solution Nine to get the last of the materials I needed. He wanted payment in Tomestones of Mathmatics. After visiting Auriana in Mor Dhona to turn in the now discontinued tomestones, I had 1379 Tomestones of Mathmatics. My shopping list cost 1360. Just enough tomestones as long as nothing went wrong. My shopping list was:

• Double Duracoat - 8
• Everkeep Resin - 14
• Insulating Varnish - 8
• Mastodon Pelt - 18
• Turali Pigment - 20

Other sets will have different numbers but I'm pretty sure the tomestone cost is the same amongst all the sets.

Notice I said I had enough if everything went right? Of course everything didn't. Oh, I made all the component items required with very little issues. But instead of waiting until Wednesday to make the finished items, I tried to craft them on Tuesday night. Yes, you guessed it. I was crafting the Courtly Lover's Pantaloons of Healing when I was kicked off the server due to one of the DDoS attacks FFXIV seems to get hit with on every patch day. I lost 3 Urqopacha Linen and 2 Mastodon Leathers, meaning I needed to get another 6 Turali Pigments and 4 Mastodon Pelts. I looked at the queue to log back in and called it a night.

Oh I finished on Wednesday after buying replacements for the lost materials off the marketboard. At that point I just wanted to finish crafting and try out the new gear. I ran The Meso Terminal and things felt a little easier. Now I just need to craft some food, meld some materia, and I'll be all set to tackle the next section of the MSQ.
