Please fix Goldsmith

Goldsmith is the worst craft at the moment. The only thing usefull we can make is crafting/gathering earings and the HQ versions are wicked cheap on market compared to other crafts. 50kHQ vs other HQ crafting/gathering gear for 200k+

I just got the master book 3 and it unlocked 28 new items. Saddly all but 4 are ilvl 150 items which players will not buy since law is so easy to get. The other 4 items are 2 fountians and 2 music boxes for housing.

Compare this to all the other crafts and GS is worthless in the long run.

Do you honestly expect every recipe to be available right away? You think this is all there is going to be? There is nothing to fix.

I dont think anythign of the sort. I would jsut like somehting unique to GS that people would acually use. outsid eof the 1 earing and a few housing items

GS will have higher lvl jewels later and if it goes like it did in 2.0 these will be wanted a lot by raiders.

haha should be when you HQ something.. i think i will take that as a fix !

Or about how our level 56 quest requires a level 60 master recipe, or so I heard.

My main complaint with GSM is I have to wait until my fisher hits 58 before I can complete the 53 quest.. I like doing all DoH/DoL at once. :(

lvl 60 quest requires it

Yes the lvl 53 quests require a fish to craft an alchemist item and you even have to gather from lvl 56-60 nodes for that quest.

The quests are messed up, I'll admit.

But it must suck to have GSM be the best class for desynthesis and have the widest marketability for the entirety of 2.0 and have it be a little different now, eh? Goldsmith still does plenty. It's fine. Hopefully this time you won't be penalized for not specializing in it, like you were penalized for not doing Goldsmith desynthesis before.

Remember when Blacksmith 4 star had Wootz ingot and nothing else?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

As a goldsmith myself, it's still viable. I think the market prices are more to do with how easily obtained a lot of items are now as quest rewards between 52-60. There's still some nice unique recipes in the master goldsmith book which is obtainable at level 56+.

Craft recipes atm r kinda wtf cuz with all the free hq handout gear from the main story, the majority of recipes for some crafts lost its value. I.e wvr, ltw, bsm, gsm etc
The 1 star crafted dow / dom gear is kinda sub par to law i180 gear as there is no supply of V materia. The stat caps probs require V materia to reach it.
Gsm is alright cuz tbh u'll make more gil selling the lower items than the stuff u get in masterbooks xD.

As I was going through the level 53 and 55 goldsmith quests today, I noticed something out of the ordinary...
While all the other crafters need to provide HQ items (at least as far as I can recall), these two quests allow you to go with NQ items.
Which suddenly makes the quests a lot easier.

For the mogpoms needed for the potion needed to make the level 53 quest item, I think it's odd that it would require a goblin jig (level 58), when the fishing hole is level 54, and there is no other fish there...
I know the popular sites list goblin jig as required, but I can't find out if anyone actually tried all other baits...

As for gear/accessories from GSM and other crafters...
While the MSQ gives you HQ gear for one job as you level up, NPC's only sell the NQ versions, and HQ versions will be preferred by spiritbonders.
