the way it is currently with crafting , if your with in 10 levels of a recipe you can attempt it, with support and gear you can get with in a 4-6 levels of the recipe with a 40-60% chance of success and skill up. my question for the kits are they the materials to make the item, so process the kit instead of getting the lumber and such.
i spent alot of time in last 9 years crafting and if this is going to be square enix way of leveling the playing field so some one with a months free time can catch up with me in crafting ill not be happy.
