Dev-Question: Signed Items (Crafted items)

I'd like it also if signed items could just optionally have the names erased, WITHOUT them auto-erasing via selling them.

+1 for signed items

Awesome deal on an item because the crafers name is Igot yonutz, yes please to being able erase the crafters name - if signing items is possible (which I'm pretty sure somewhere I read it will be).

SE: sorry for the inconvenience "PS3 limitations" causing the PS3 to smoke.

I would like to see signed items as well. tho if signed i think the name should stay.

Well if I am the crafter and provided you can see the name before you purchase the item, there is no reason you should be allowed to erase it. If you don't like the crafter's name however, feel free not to purchase the item.

It wasn't possible to erase the crafter's name in DAoC, craft was important part of gearing (at least ~2+ piece of gear had to be crafted), and it was really neat to be able to check people's equipment and be like "oh this guy is wearing what -I- made". It was an amazing way for crafters to get known and advertise their services. (Lot of items were very hard to craft, so craft was often done "on demand", so knowing who was a reliable crafter was important.)

The name of the item creator should be honoured :)

I suppose if they make some crafting recipes harder, I dont see FFXIV crafting that hard though and it seems it will be getting easier in 2.0. I feel some of the high end +1 items are hard to make and wouldn't mind sticking around with their name but it feels silly to see a name on a shitty spirit bound item.

Or I guess a calling card on crafting items would be cool - if you leave your signature someone check "hotkey" + click the item and be able to leave a message. Could even create a request system around it so when you log on you have a list of player requests (like player quests, get gil and exp - and you can mail the item to complete and receive the reward).

Anyway I have an awkward feeling if it has little use and it is on small items. I wouldn't fight against it though, its not really that big of a issue for me.

Uh, you merely needed crystals you buy from your guild or from wedding NPCs to sign it as there would be no other way to differentiate a normal synthesis with a signed synthesis in XI's crafting system, much like you need catalyst to meld Materia onto gear in XIV.

Not sure how the server handles data when transferred via the wards, but if it is anything like FFXI or the current version, Signed Names wouldn't get transferred in market ward sales.

Only the core data remains when an item is stored or sold. It's why stuff has to be 100% fixed and all SB data is erased.

Did I read that you guys want to sign the gear that you craft? Well, currently in A Realm Reborn, names will automatically be placed on equipment after it has been crafted! Details such as whether or not the name will disappear when sold from a retainer, etc. has yet to be decided though.
