I mean seriously i thought SE was all about game balance, so why do i feel like 90% of the population will have all 20+ jobs at lvl 90 before i ever get all my crafts to level cap?
Even before abbysea leveling was faster, but now its just rediculous.
Any way crafting can be a bit ezier to level... since everyone levels there jobs so fast these days there really is no way to keep up.
P.S Any posibility of raising crafting to like 120 cap, with all new reciepies being for lvl 76+ jobs?
90% of the population will have all jobs at 99 before I complete a Kenkonken. SE should totally change it so I can buy it for 2000 cruor!
Crafting is mostly dead, barring a few consumables that are needed even in abyssea. It's only used to supply skills for synergy, which is used to craft gear above 75.
Since abyssea was introduced, people can level a job from 30 to 90 in half a day of doing nothing. That meant the market for gear 25-75 was instantly killed. Even the most expensive crafted lvl 75 gear pre-abyssea is sub-par to EAF or abyssea drops on many, if not all fields.
You know I thought the same thing when I started leveling goldsmithing again. Yes the market has taken a slump but there are people (very few I know) that still level the *old way* and they actually gear their jobs. I don't think abyssea killed crafting because of the ability to leech, so much as, because all the crafters are doing abyssea. Its hard to rack out 10-50 recipes when you're busy trying to proc an Aby NM. Lets face it getting those +2 items at the moment is more important than spending 4mil gil to make an item that only sells for 1mil.
