Due to an error in item specifications, belts and accessories obtained from the duties mentioned above have two materia sockets.
These gear pieces were originally intended to have only one materia socket each. However, this error was not discovered until immediately before Patch 5.4's release, leaving us no time to address the issue.
Because of this gear's availability at the release of Patch 5.4, and their effectiveness because of this oversight, there is a possibility they may influence the race for world first in the Eden's Promise raid. After careful deliberation, we have chosen to leave these items in their present state.
This will also affect the balance of gear obtained from Eden's Promise (Savage), as well as the newly added Exarchic crafted gear. We apologize for this and ask for your understanding.
However, it should be noted that, as with previous patches, fully melded Exarchic crafted gear will prove comparable to, if not more effective than, the aforementioned belts and accessories.
While this decision was ultimately made due to the timing of the error's discovery, we have determined that to leave these items unchanged will not leave any players at a disadvantage. Nevertheless, we will be re-evaluating our work flow to ensure issues such as this do not occur again in the future.
tl;dr Eden normal accessories will be slightly better than usual with an extra material slot, so could make for some useful prog pieces for certain jobs / people who don't get crafted. Unsure if the new dungeon gear will be that good due to rng and ilvl
