[dev1027 - sort of] Recreating Crystal Clusters

[Korpg]

I agree it would be nice to be able to re-cluster crystals. Hell we have a tarutaru 'brown' mage just for purging food, i don't it'd be that odd for one mage to figure out how to recluster crystals, with fire crystals you would be 'melting' the crystals back together, with earth ones you would be 'fusing' them etc, so it would not be too horrible, another idea that is a little off topic, they could simply make individual crystals stack to 99, can't be any harder then making the clusters stack in the first place, i imagine the code to go something like Earth crystal stack size = 12 Earth Cluster stack size = 1 or in tech geek terms Item <insert item # here> = limit 1, so in theory, if this code is anything like the besieged code they changed (adding 0's = YAY! in that instance) all they have to do is change that little "12" to a little "99", clusters could still give you 12 crystals, you would just need more of them to stack those individual crystals to 99. Changing it in the AH wouldn't be too difficult either i imagine, no more so then having to put stacks of clusters in the AH.

You know how long, or how expensive crystal stacks would be if they stacked them to 99?

Do you know how hard it is to craft without this option? regardless that you have stacks of clusters to 99. Hard to get that but then again currency has limits too not everyone can get LARGE amounts of gil but the gil they do have it safely storage d so they don't have to get rid of it if you get what i am saying.

With that people who have around like 4 stacks of crystals and do not want to get rid of them 12x4=48 now you have 1 slot instead of like 4slots taken away.

seems like a sick idea to me.

But in the Case of Clusters they count as 1 so instead of 48 crystals- clusters would be---1 out of 99 and that STILL only stacks to 1 slot now you just made the idea even better. its great its convenient its not a idea that people should see negative at all. and for those wishing to save gear for spots can now worry about different things because they have more slots in Mog house for it

i am sorry 4 out of 99 if you did not catch my math mistake.

Part of this game involves balancing things for farmers as well as crafters. Having 144 crystals to a stack using clusters, is going to be pretty amazing as is. Clusters are stacking to 12, not 99.

I support reforming clusters, but I don't support additional suggestions to make them easier to store, short of some insane cluster bag that is further stackable.

When you add that to the mix i see where you're coming from then how about a sold option? say... Mog house option allows 99 clusters, but AH would offer a stack as they are normal? it shouldn't unbalance it stock prices should remain the same collection of crystal sizes seems more feasible then before.

The only issue with this is that people would most likely abuse the AH prices by overpricing due to high amounts of product (crystals) and unlimited supply storage. leading to retarded amounts for a stack of crystals you probably could just end up farming. Hmm this is a toughy...

Or you might even get the Opposite effect due to high amounts of crystals stock prices will either drop from AH and we would probably be around 1-2k a stack (could only imagine if we go back to the old days where they were 800stack-500gil *drool*) i hate economics there's usually always a case where 50/50 chance =/

I like the 99 option for mog houses it seems more helpful to have unlimited supply storage for items on crafting so it does not interfere with storage that could be spent on gear. Mules should not be a must.
