The Grand Crafting Adjustment Thread

90-100 it took you 4 million gil to gain a whole level. 100-110 4 million gets you a single synth. And that's if there are even any ingredients to buy in the first place.

90-100 you could make panther masks to get to 100, then try to make money by HQ'ing dusk gloves. 100-110 you have to skill up on today's dusk gloves.

*nods* S-E seems to like to choke endgame crafting by making it totally depend on HNM/event raw materials. Since there's no way no matter how expensive to acquire these materials in large amounts...100-110 (and if it happens, 111-120) are mad levels.

I was sitting in Bastok with a fellow named Fasaga trying to get the last .1 or so for a skillup to (I recall) 104 or so.

No Shaper's Shawl. I swear, before I go anywhere past Artisan, I'm snagging one knowing just how horrifying the top levels are to skill into. Even if it's 1% better odds, that's still saving millions.

That'd require them to make the 100-110 synthesis materials to drop from abyssea gold chests, or another equivalent. Because without flooding the market with that material, 90-100 wouldn't have gotten any easier. One could argue that it would have gotten even harder, since not only would the materials be the same price, there'd be less of them available due to lower demand for the end result.

I'm expecting that if we see 120, 100-110 will get some new Adoulin recipes with local materials. That keeps Abyssea stuff that's supposed to be crafter-elite from crashing, but gives people chances to "catch up" before hitting the 111-120 wall again.

I agree with that. Iv had 100ww with capped subs for a while now, but I'm not bothering touching the 100-110 without a shawl. Such a drastic price increase, and rare materials. I may not even do it for a long time even if i had the shawl. (Of course since i hate fishing, its looking farther and farther away)

You don't need more than Fishing 26 to open "Inside the Belly". Then it's just buying fish and hoping for the Shawl.

At 250-300k+ a fish, and reports of ppl around 0/200 thats not something I'm eager to try atm.

I thought u had to be minimum of 28 to do the quest. That only as much as +2 equip could be added to your lvl for this quest. (takes 30 to start)

When a single skillup can literally be millions of Gil, I'll take my chances at upping my odds early.

Yeah, even if it takes 100 matsya to get the shawl, that's 40 million gil. At 6 million per synth trying to skill up, if it saves even 7 synths it's already made you money.

Just to give people a simple example of "what it's like to craft with a Shaper's Shawl":
