o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

I like the way cloths are colored now, the old way was unnecessarily complicated, this new way is much easier, I have enjoyed crafting much more that I can actually make things now, and will love to see more improvements in 1.20

it was already known that grinding crafts would be harder now due to the fact it took more materials to grind less than before. you figure even before on blacksmith where you just grind ingots now you could have on low to mid levels then as well. before when you used 4 ore it would make 2.5 ingots. now 4 ore gets you just a little over 1 ingot. that's right at twice the amount of grinding off the same amount of materials and that's not even looking at leather or wood going from 4 to 1 or weaver going from 12 to 1.

It may take more, but in terms of ore & wood, they're easier to obtain now from gathering. Unlike leather & other mob drops.

2 points.. I wasn't mad then an I'm still not, I still cba crafting so nerner. :)
Sig has nothing to do with this topic, please look for a topic more inline with the pic :)

An On topic (really necro threading is getting to be a real habit here lol) All the issues I had with crafting still stand, they just changed the stuff that didn't need it, and left the slow grind that is crafting. :p

As for dye, leave it till we have a whole new system, they say its broken atm, and I don't think they should waste the man power on a temp fix, just get the new system done.

no I am not, I like the dye system, now I will say that the dyes just dropping from gather is a bit silly, I would like to see some recipes to make them, but the later half, where I take the finished outfit, and just dye that, instead of having to dye ever matrial for it is so much better.

They admit the current dye system is just a patch-up job until they fix it. Why?

Colour lock class
Colour lock stat
Less colours than before for every material
All-purpose colour dye is not all-purpose
Why dyeing synth require more base material? What do you do with it?

all I like of it is the way it is done compared to the old way, make the item then color it. I do not like any of the other points you made, although requiring more base material does make a little sense, use it to apply the dye to the cloths ;p

Uh you don't use more cloth to dye a piece of cloth that is already made. Are you going to throw away the piece of undyed cloth or what? :P

Both sides are right on the dying thing. It is definitely easier to just dye the piece in one synth instead of dying individual parts. But the recipe to dye the item is retarded requiring more materials. Just make the synth the item and the dye.

Also, spearfishing a pot of dye is lame.

I agree it makes no sense to spearfish pots of dye, they should give Alchemist something to do ya know, I'm hoping they plan to change dyes back to Alchemist when 1.20 comes out and have gathers farm the materials needed to make them.

Also agree that dying an item shouldn't require a base material and why is it that if I dye a HQ item it resets the HQ, this is just stupid.

Dying should be done in the same way as Materia/repairs, select the dye from the inventory and then select the item you want to add it to, no crafting window just a short animation and done.
