crafting is it worth it?

[Nedhitis]

Well, for me, it has been both fun AND rewarding... You just need to get the knack on crafting HQ items often, then they sell very well on the market, effectively paying your teleportation costs, repair costs while STILL keeping all the money you get from quests.

I do admit, though: it can be frustrating... I really hate when the supposed "10%" of failure chance for Basic Touch + Steady Hand keeps ocurring at the worst moments and FAR more often than just 10% of the time...

So, personally, I will tell you that Crafting on this game is a matter of whether you like it or not. I am very good at maths and the crafting here is very dependant on numbers, therefore, I like it; it is fun and challenging for me, and rewarding since I know my way through the market boards... But I do realize not many people share this liking of mine, so... well, you see from this point on.

I started very early with both DoH and DoL (before reaching 20 on my first combat class), and I must say: I have little to no regrets.

Fun fact: I was attracted to the feature because of Materia. I already got gear with slots and 3 DoH professions over level 20 and I am yet to make any melding. The twists of life, huh...
