Just noticed on the front page:
That "s" has me worried.... Please tell me this was a typo...experience a new quest to earn synthesis-specific equipment known as "escutcheons!"
Please, PLEASE do not make this craft specific! ><;;
Part of the strength of Kupo Shield is that it affects your subcrafts as well as your main craft and that it can provide equal benefits when making something from a subcraft. If this is intended to replace Kupo Shield, as the dev team indicated in the Freshly Picked a few months ago, it can not be inferior in any way, especially since it was also indicated that there would be a lengthy process involved in obtaining one.
Can we please get an overview on what to expect for both the process to obtaining one and what kind of stats we can expect from one? Not expecting, nor asking for, exact stats.. only asking for an outline so hopefully feedback can still be used before they are actually implemented in the case that there are any glaring issues that are likely to incite the playerbase. I'm sure that most crafters would be far happier having to wait an extra month or two if it meant that what we get in the end is worthy of the concept of Ultimate Equipment for crafting and the effort involved.
