Crafting and Expansion - How do you think it will be

So,
basically SE in 2.5 introduced Lucis tool, that is as now an overkill for every craft in the game. Even the Artisan Apron is overkill for 4* if you have maxed gear in all slot up to Supra.

So, what do you think will be the expansion craft progess? Will Lucis be useful (and, at least, needed) until endgame (like 1* lv60 items i think)? Or we will be breaked by LV51 with the cheapest LV51 crafted or vendor Item?

I hope the first Scenario... I've spent so many time for something isn't still needed, so ho it will be in the future.

My hope is that Lucis is best until 3.1, and at that point gets replaced by the upgraded 60 class quest reward.
