[To the Devs] GIVE CRAFTERS blue and purple quality recipes

[Ephier]

-snip-

Yoshi himself has said that crafting and gathering will be used in over 90% of the housing in his live news letter, no crystal ball required, this is a fact that he stated this.

If you don't want to use 2 star items then don't use them. They are ridiculously hard to make, they have hardly any bang for your buck, but the people who make them seem to be fine with them.

Everyone cannot be appeased in the current way things work. Crafting and selling high level gear will kill out the raiding community. This topic was not about titan, nor is he relevant. We are discussing matters of crafting and its usages. I like the idea of being able to build a house with my crafting and gathering classes, it seems fun. Especially if Yoshi is going to be adding on to that content.

We didnt level our crafting to build sim houses idont see the problem with giving crafters blue or epic recipes make them rare and mats hard to collect like items from odin or behemoth and
I am not talking about only armors and weapons we should get more quality colors for housing instead of just white and green items or food alchemy pots etc

As a raider I only have a problem with the weapon and armor portion. As for other things like blue/purple foods, pots, and housing pieces, that would be fun to have implemented most definitely, especially if materials are hard to come by.

I dont see why not they just have to be smart about it. other mmos do it ex. WoW, SWTOR, and RO2. Just have recipes that drop from bosses and after every boss have it drop 2 of the mats to make the items for that specific ilvl. That would make it so you have to raid to obtain it but you will be able to sell your creations. It will be a hard choice to sell or use because it will hinder your weekly progression but if you choose to sell it, people will be willing to pay top dollar for gearing up in best gear faster. Also this gear would sell for so high that people couldn't afford just to fill up on all this gear. Just my opinion on the matter.

I think that ffXIV needs to take a page our of FFXI's playbook when it comes to crafting.

In ff11, Crafters made a lot of BiS gear when certain items HQed. The scorpion harness is a great example of an ff11 craft-able item that if it HQ it was extremely valuable and useful. The caveat to the system is most of the mats to make such items came from killing HNM and activities equivalent to raiding. Raiders had their hands greased and sold off the mats or paid crafters to make the really nice end game gear.

FF14 could utilize this same system where crafting mats come from end game activities and crafters can rarely turn those mats into some of the most compelling gear in the game. People don't level a job like blacksmith and armoursmith with the notion they will be making vanity items for a house.

One thing to note is that Green/Blue/Purple has no affect on the stats... at all really. Basically Rarity color doesn't affect the item's stats. Pretty much only ilvl and in the case of crafted items, HQ and Materia Slots.

the color of the item is pretty much completely just for how it was obtained. The actual quality is completely different

for instance all the high quality 2 star gear is quite a bit better than darklight which is blue and both are considered item level 70.
In fact the 2 star jewelery is sometimes more prized than the level 90 stuff because of the extra stats that can be put on it

I agree it would be nice for crafter's to be able to create more unique gears for lower levels instead of just one random piece here and there in the 40's but really they are already making the most desirable gear in the game outside binding coil.

pretty much all of the OPs posts are topic posts with 2-3 sentence rants with [To the Devs] in the topic title. If people DON'T want discussion but want dev attention, last i checked the best way to do that was to stuff the suggestion box on the support site.

As other people have noted, color doesn't in any way imply quality, its more of a rarity indicator. Aside from a notable exception in the battle class AF, most blues take at least a smidge more time and effort than most greens, etc. - however any items with the same item level are going to have similar stats regardless of color.

Another "winner" who thinks "To the Devs" matters... (and no.. I purposely didn't read your actual post, since you obviously think your post is more important than the rest of them in the forums)

another suggestions: dont let crafters make BIS gear , let them make gear with special bonus for skills to each class
