Small quality of life fix...

[Synra]

Okay, I can understand your logic, but let me explain my logic here. While waiting for a DF que, one of the things I do to pass the time is craft. As I work, I get more and more into it. I might even find myself attempting an HQ combine with a bunch of HQ materials. And then right after I start crafting, my DF pops. Now I am in trouble. I can't cancel my crafting or you guys delete all of those valuable materials. I can't withdraw from the DF, because it could have easily been a 30+ minute wait (I waited 85 minutes once). The only other option is to hurry up and rush through the crafting process, so I can switch classes and accept the dungeon prompt. But then I might accidently use a wrong ability at the wrong time and mess myself up.

So while I understand why you did the above, the fact is, I would REALLY appreciate the ability to just cancel my combine without losing my materials, so that I can quickly take that dungeon pop.

It's called "level your Culinary to 50 and take Reclaim for a non-Steady Hands affected 90% chance of getting your mats back". Or you know, don't do important craft while queuing for DF? Cancelling crafting before you use any abilities still restores your mats as Okipuit mentioned.

Yeah that scenario you mentioned really isn't worth allowing abuse of crafting.

How about an option to 'PAUSE' your synth? When you return from the DF, you must resume your synth the next time you go to synth with that particular crafting job. I think many of us have been in a similar situation to yours and realize the frustration.

It's a choice you made to craft while waiting on df. If you do not want to miss a df pop or waste valuable mats then simply don't do expensive synths during your wait. And df gives you a full minute anyway and changing jobs is a one-click function. I don't really see a conflict here worthy enough of making crafting abuse rampant.

Sorry I've been in the same boat while crafting and waiting for DF and I'll eat the extra 30min+ wait time if I'm crafting something of value with HQ items.

The only thing that would be nice is some sort of Crafting Pause system incase you DC it would keep your progress. But not reset your progress and let you start over cause people would abuse it if they were going to fail a synth.
