Stormblood Crafting System

[Ronivan]

Hello everyone! I've been doing some searches around Stormblood Crafting system and only found speculations. Please there's any real source regarding what will become of our Crafting System in Stormblood?

[DrWho2010]

there is no definitive info as of yet. i believeeee as far as we know the scrip and specialist system will remain. and new recipes and things to gather of course. that's it.

It's alright I guess, thank you. Seems that secondary things like the crafting system is not a priority, so I guess we will find out in Stormblood release or some patches after that.

I can only imagine the new lvl 61+ recipes requiring multiple extra materials, just for the sake of faux-difficulty, like they did with Heavensward. If HW required 3x materials, I can only imagine Stormblood requiring 5x-10x the materials.

Seriously, a single dragonskin should make three pieces of leather, not require three dragonskins to make one piece of leather.

It's magic, my friend! It's magic! XD
The skin... is magical and auto-shrinks by 2000 folds!

They haven't explicitly stated any changes but some may be inferred from other statements.

When SE brought up pruning skills back and combining others to make room for the lv 61-70 skill they focused exclusively on DOW/DOM classes for examples, they never mentioned crafting but they also never restricted the changes to just DOW/DOM. Crafting classes seem to have more free space on their toolbars than combat classes do and they aren't under the same kind of time or reaction speed limitations that combat classes are under so there's more room for skill bloat there. That said I'd be surprised if crafters didn't get some of the same treatment; I think there's room for refinement and pruning in our skills.

There's a live letter next week, maybe we'll learn more then? We're less than 2 months out now, more info should be coming soon. Please look forward to it.

It's perfectly reasonable, like it requiring 5 logs to make the handle for a frying pan.

You wanna know why? This is why...

Custom delivers are going to be the next thing for crafters during Stormblood, will see what they gate behind them (if anything). Other than that I don't think any big change is coming, at least for now, crafting is in a very wierd, and niche, place right know: big time commiment require if you want to become even a basic crafter (all DOH/DOL and retainers) and/or too expensive for our regular joes due EU/NA prices (even basic stuff).

My hope is a redesing to make all DOH independant from each other like CUL so anyone can participe.
