i am against it. it will just end with a ton more cooking/alchemy/woodworking ppl. consumeable items are the only things that sell good atm, at least on my server.
so make some new top gear from regular crafts.the old abjuration + cursed items system always made it worth to skill a craft beside cooking.
or at least add an augment system to the old gear.
most of the best gear drops from NMs and is r or/and e.
and synergy idea was nice, but there is just to much stuff coming from synergy now.
