[To The Devs] Add Blue and Purple Quality Gear for Crafters bought with Philo&Mytho

[realmreborn]

many people dont like to battle just craft and gather in this game am becoming one of those but i see lack of attention for crafters

yoshi pi :

1- Let crafters and gatherers earn philosophy tomes from crafting quests and mythology tomes make them unique for buying crafting gear only

2- Add blue quality gear for crafters and gatherers

3- Epic Tier materia only crafters can buy and meld them into other people's gear

Crafters allready pay more tomes to make items that are better than blue darklight (Allbeit needs to be melded out the wazoo) It's a shame at how dispaprotionatly this can be at times, Vanya Hat/Body cost almost twice as much as the cowl.

Astral choker takes 3, count it 3! items to make from the vendors that's well over 3k tomes.

They'd need to release new content and recipes before this is a necessary thing.

Right now you can 100% HQ iLvl 70 gear wearing white level 50 (not green 55) crafter gear, using proper meldings and techniques. They'd need nerf existing gear, or release new, even higher level recipes, otherwise even a total newbie crafter will just faceroll any item to max quality by just mashing his face into the keysand the concept of "normal quality" items will be even more obsolescent.

Hell no. The last thing I'd want to gear up crafters would be running yet more dungeons.

It's bad enough that their best form of profit comes from other crafters.

[Alhanelem]

this is unnecessary. A crafter's gear is crafted, and this is the way it should be.

I'm not really sure what the point would be in having Blue gear for crafters with the current state of the game. You can (fairly easily) achieve the necessary stats for crafting 2-Star recipes with level 50 white gear (you don't even need the class-specific crafting AF, beyond the blue main-hand and green off-hand). As higher level recipes are introduced, I can see the potential for blue crafting gear, but that would require that 3/4/etc-Star recipes have much higher stat requirements than what we currently have.

Not you (and this) again...

[Inquisitor]

If I like crafting (and I do) why would I want the best gear FOR crafting to not be crafted?

[Arcaloid]

Is it anything to do with the colour? What does those colour mean anyway.
I mean even some myth gears are green, yet they are still iLevel 90.
However I believe this has been explained in the live letter so you can go have a look.
