Aar crafting sucks compared to 1.0. Yea you kept the glowing orb graphic, but it no longer means anything. You used to have to watch it for ques to see how your synthesis is going.

I prefered it in 1.0 due to the way the weather and moon phases effected your synth, I remember traveling to a place where there was a lightning storm to have better stability on my lighting crystal synth. The way to craft a low lvl item you'd need to kill the low lvl mobs for mats. Like for a dodo skin jacket, yea you need dodo leather, kill a dodo.

I do like the addition of craft log.
