So we're finally seeing the new crafting sets added. ilevel 170 versions that are craftable (and HQ-able), and ilevel 180 versions that are purchasable with red crafter scrips... and both sets are palette swaps of each other. Actually they look more or less identical (not even different colours) from the little bit I saw before I left for work. This could just be the CUL set though, that's the only one I looked at. It didn't occur to me to check whether both the craftable and trade-in sets were meldable, but that's obviously the real deal-breaker.
I'm not sure what the rationale is behind making the scrip turn-in sets slightly better than the craftable sets. Maybe red scrips are going to be prohibitively hard to come by, so the new grind is going to be upgrading your crafted gear to turn-in gear. But it does seem like it's going to lower their marketboard value significantly. Which is good for people who don't have all their crafts leveled, but bad for people like me who are opportunistic capitalists.Â
ALSO, Culinarian Master III is still trash. Nothing good in there at all!
