"Master Recipe Books" in 2.2

These 3 little words were mentioned in the 55th letter... Any thoughts?

Myth bought recipe books? Dungeon drops? Class-Quest rewards? (probably not)

Although it would add to the grinding factor, it would make sense for recipe books that make mythology level gear to be bought with mythology tomes... The next question is, will they be tradeable?

They have to fill the "soul crystal" slot for crafters/gatherers...

O.o I never even thought of that.. a "Soul Crystal" that provides a boost enough to do really high end crafting..

no specific thoughts just very excited about it. my only gripe is that i wonder if theres a point in making much gear for my other classes at this time because in a couple weeks rose gold acessories and all the attached materia might be better saved for the newer gear instead. since they are not increasing the level cap everything will be able to be equipped right away.

My guesses:

Unlock higher level recipes.
Probably purchased with new tomestones in order to slow down glut.

Master Recipe Books
Among the new recipes introduced with patch 2.2, a special set of recipes for each class may be learned only from master recipe books. Comprehensible only to level 50 crafters, the recipes held within will demand much and more of Eorzea's veteran artisans.

It also mentions new tools... so much for Luminary I guess.

i dig the new carbuncle chair hope we get to make more items like that. I also cant wait to set up the workstations for the up and coming crafters in my guild that will definitely give them a boost.

I hope you can meld the soulstone. It'd be nice if it was a 4-materia-slot reward from completing the entire crafting book, but that would just flood the market with useless stuff.

Back in 1.0, we got "random" points from leves to buy crafting abilities...Note the emphasis on random...lolol.
