Craftmanship & Magic Craftmanship

Hmm... I recall doing leves and Steel Plate was magic. And then another the same for rings... Was either steel or mythril, I don't remember. And I was like, "Man! Now I have to rethink everything!"

I was certain the idea floating about that astral is craftsmanship and umbral is magic was wrong due to lightning being magic in a lot of WVR syntheses, so I thought of the conquests being magic and the submissions being craftsmanship, and if a conquest was used at all it was magic. It worked well as a general rule of thumb until I found crab oil using three lightning shards was physical. I tested influence of shard amount, but seems three lightning is magic for linen yarn.

I've been boosting one or the other for a long time now trying to figure out what's what. Or rather a way to tell easily. I sure hope it doesn't end up being each one is set manually. I'm leaving it a possibility, though. My other ideas right now are type by category, and even further into that idea to be item icons and their recolors.

I'm still trying to narrow it down, but there's always the chance the randomness could've thrown me off the right track.

Please we want an official word on this! \(><)/

Ha, same
But to tell you the truth, I have all crafts above 40 and 4 @50. To get there I did a huge control build and let my tool be the main contributor for craft and M.craft stats.

Body, Hat, Belt, Pants, Gloves, Shoes = control

In doing this, you still get 70+ craft and m.craft at 50
And it makes it a lot easier to HQ

I have my levels near than yours and i weared full set armors (velteen set, linen set, etc) to grind and felt armor of his main stat, and i feel i have no problems with HQ. But that's why i'm pissed off, it's a feel, not a certain... I don't know if i should use a cobalt mesail or not, use a dodore doublet, felt body or woolen smock, what kind of materia is better to the main hand slot (yes, i know about luminary weapons, but that's not my point), boarskin tool belt or linen half apron....A lot of diferent equipment choices that we just do "because we feel it's better"...

Please, we need more transparency with the craft revamp!

EDIT. Take a look at Disciples of the Land stats... Is a lot easier to know what stat you want from armor...
