Recipe changes in 1.19

Regarding logs :

Current system, 1 log yields 4 synths worth SP. The lumber synths are all unreasonably low rank (highest being a rank 30 synth).

New system, 1 log yields 2 synths worth SP. Both the lumber synth and the finish item synth will yield SP. This is a factor of two reduction of mats to synths.

Regarding cloth:
Old system, 2 sheepskin yields 6 fleece (via TNR), yielding 24 wool yarn. 24 wool yarn nets 24 wool cloth via 8 synths. If done right, storing up wool yarn, this can net 10 weaving synths.
New system, 4 fleece yields 2 wool yarn, which yields 1 wool cloth. Nets 3 synths per 4 materials. As a result, fleece drops off karakul should be increased.

Just a couple of examples as I see them.

Don't forget that leves will now be a much better source of SP for crafting now that you can focus on them and somewhat force that the "good" leves for your rank show up a lot more frequently because of how often the leve list will reset. There will always be an "out" for ranks even if you end up running out of mats to make finished products.

Also, with the ability to earn seals through repeatable methods, seals can be used to buy engineering manuals, reducing the time to rank by 1/3.

I believe there was some mention that the GC leves would have a separate pool of 99, so doing both GC leves and AG leves, both crafter leves, would net SP plus GC seals used when ranking crafting making items.

Less of a focus on the highly repetitive and monotonous task of "grinding" useless synths is a good step, I think.

Oh I forgot about the engineering manuals too! I really am not too worried about ranking up, not that I was before.

everyone keeps quoting my posts and pointing out this or that. the only thing i stated is i was glad i ranked mine now(that is my opinion) and that ranking afterwards will take longer unless the sp was increased. don't try to turn it into something i didn't say.

Hey GURL! dont judge me!

*snaps fingers in a circle around head*

Hey I hear you. I leveled alchemist just so my weaver friend would be able to make me colored cotton clothes, and later, not-pink clothes. Seriously it was like 20 pinks, 1 blue, 0 anything else.

Should be interesting to make Karakul Fleece after the update considering Karakul Skin is no longer going to be dropped from enemies.

Also, might be an oversight, but it seems buffalo leather was entirely unaffected with regards to hide -> leather. And for those without a Dodore Doublet, gonna need 2 wings now to make one doublet. Shouldn't be too bad if the new doublets are decent alternatives.

Also it is interesting to see Yellow copper ore purchasable from npc's and minable.... Yet, it makes nuggets which are irradicated o_O

*Shrugs*

Yeah I'd like some clarification on if this was a mistake or not. Karakul skin has to be in the game.
