Quoted from "EsxCape;544211"
Yes I am the same as you, but doing it on the EU server. I'm going kinda slow though because there's already at least 3 players ahead of me that have level 80 in Blacksmithing (not personally acquainted with them, just saw on AH they were already selling the necklace). Takes about 2 days for me to raise 1 level, with 4 levels left to go.
Dunno how US players will plan to price the necklaces, but on my server, they're priced at 5 mil for ud and 35 mil for od. However, no one has bought them yet, and according to my endgame friend it's because they (endgamers) would rather stay with the level 70 sets that have a set bonus. For some reason a lot of players don't like to get away from set bonuses...
I hope more people will choose to get to 80. Crafting festival already gets you to 73/74-ish and crafting past that is relatively easy as long as you can secure yourself the mats (I use 120 mems = enough mats for 100 items). Also, iirc, 80 is the current crafting cap, so might as well just make the push for those last few levels.
Mostly atm I expect it to be slow because people haven't bothered to stock up on Plussing jewels since none of the other 71/72 gear is worth a darn...

Yeh, I don't know why people would want a set bonus that is WORSE than a single item.

Yeh, I don't know why people would want a set bonus that is WORSE than a single item. And it would free you up to get a different set bonus to boot (so long as you don't need a necklace slot). But you know how those crazy Europeans are
The mats were fairly hard to come by actually. Mostly because people can do math. Spending 700 mentos to roll a stat that might give you 40-50m on AH, or sell to me for 5 - 6m... Yeh, that was a hard sell, but I nickel and dimed my way through. Since its the best necklace going, I priced at 20m UD and 45+ for OD. This was comparing to a Tinc earing going for 40m. Since you can roll the Tinc, and I figured I deserved a little bit for my effort. Hoping people not seeing me as greedy, but rather reasonable. Already sold one OD, four if you count guildies (but they get a discounted rate, naturally).

It's because the 3 piece memento set + set's set bonus is greater than the single parts of Grasp of Accuracy, Tinc Earring and Trap Ring. Unplussed, untiered, unhammered, memento set is 3990 P.Att, 490 Crit, 175 Str. Combination of those 3 mixed pieces (best single pieces) unplussed, untiered, unhammered, is 3195 P.Att, 533 Crit. Not worth the upgrade. And not even better depending on your crit preference. To restat and regear would be a waste of time and resources when the cost does not justify the result.
Edit: If you were to tier 7 the pieces
Memento Set: 5703.6 P.Att, 1620.8 P.Crit, 273 Str.
Broken Set: 4984.2 P.Att, 1961.9 P.Crit.
With the Memento set, you should have already surpassed 70% Crit Rate unbuffed. Adding anymore after that is useless as adding crit is an exponential rate rather than a linear rate. More P.Att ftw.

What about the other necklaces for other crafters? All I've seen is Grasp of Accuracy, but there are 3 others... Are they not as worthwhile?

Just curious, I am pretty sure I am the first crafter to level 80 on Govinda. I was just wondering if anyone else had bothered on other servers. I did it in Blacksmithing (naturally as this was my main skill).
The level 80 craft / 71 to wear drop with a relatively disappointing Observance/Fang/Barbarian or Hammer IX (+100 str/+100 dex +200 patt/HP). While they are not completely horrible stats, one would have thought something slightly better would drop off a level 80 recipe. But I get why they didn't put better on them.
Anyway, the item itself is droolworthy as it surpasses the set bonuses for both the Ghostly set and the Heroic Precision by quite a few points. It was a challenge to hit 80, but fun too...
I'm wondering if any wild and crazy crafters out there besides me made it to the cap and are waiting for the next updates to see what we can craft in the future... Thank you FEU for setting a high goal, I feel like I went for the brass ring and was hoping it was worth it all along, and at this point it seems like it was! This year's crafting event far exceeded my hopes and was as good as last year for the level then too (when we got to make 65 special items for a level 65 cap). (ps. sorry cooks both years)
I do wish you had put in 75 special item recipes, but that is fine, 80 works for me!
Happy Hunting!

I am trying to figure out what set you are talking about... Because by all the math I can see:
Heroic Precision set bonus: 930 patt, 151 crit.
Ghostly Set: 100 str, 100 dex, 1200 hp, 1200 patt, 110 crit
1095 patt and 183 crit beats the Heroic precision right out. The ghostly is arguable since you get HP with it.
However, plussed (t6 +16) the totals are:
Ghostly:
171 stam, 1188 crit on the item - so the total for it is 1260 patt and 1188 crit + 110 set = 1298 crit (plus some HP)
Heroic Precision:
2442 PATT (total OD +16 with set bonus); 1195 + 155 = 1350 Crit total.
The Grasp T6 +16 is:
1576 patt, 1393 crit.
So you can see that plussing makes a difference (of course an unplussed item doesn't beat set bonus totals...)
Basically it beats the Ghostly Set on crit and patt, and beats the Heroic set on crit. Admittedly the numbers on the Heroic set are more patt with set bonus. But perhaps you could mix it up with Lekani and get the better set bonus there instead (as well as a little more damage). Yeh like you said, people will stat with what is convenient. If they need crit, they will take the highest crit they can find. And well, the Grasp is just that. If they do the numbers and prefer the PATT, they will go with the Mento set. (I'd rather have 1-2% more crit because I am doing 320% crit damage in my blue 45-50 gear, but that is me, I statted a little oddly anyway).

And it is also what the majority of RoM population would think too.

What Blacksmithing recipe did you use to go from 75 to 80?
