Crafting and Gathering Preview (03/18/2014)

Today's patch 2.2 preview offers a look at the new challenges awaiting Eorzea's crafters and gatherers. New Crafting Recipes Patch 2.2 will introduce a host of new recipes for crafters of all skill levels, including both traditional recipes and new recipes which will test even the talents of the most accomplished artisans.

Master Recipe Books Among the new recipes introduced with patch 2.2, a special set of recipes for each class may be learned only from master recipe books. Comprehensible only to level 50 crafters, the recipes held within will demand much and more of Eorzea's veteran artisans.

New Crafting Facilities Players will have access to crafting facilities in their estates. With eight types in total, these facilities can be used by crafters level 40 or below to increase their CP for a fixed period of time.

New Crafting Tools After completing the quest "Just Tooling Around," players can speak with Talan in Revenant's Toll (X:22, Y:6) to receive a new main hand tool in exchange for goods crafted or materials gathered.

New Gathering Points Miners and botanists foraging for raw materials will find new resources for the taking in the following areas:
Miner Level 50 Quarrying Western Thanalan - Nophica's Well Unspoiled Mineral Deposit Lower La Noscea/Central Thanalan/Northern Thanalan Unspoiled Rocky Outcrop Middle La Noscea/Western Thanalan/South Shroud

Botanist Unspoiled Mature Tree Middle La Noscea/Upper La Noscea/North Shroud Unspoiled Lush Vegetation Patch Western La Noscea/Lower La Noscea/Central Shroud

Big Fishing Fishers of surpassing skill can try their hand at reeling in impressive denizens of the deep once thought to be mere legend, earning an array of achievements in the process. Do you have what it takes to stake your claim as one of Eorzea's master anglers?

So are Luminaries gonna be not worth it again with the addition of new tools?

Oh boy, can't wait for my luminaries to be even more worthless.

Now I just gotta get the rest of them because reasons.

Yup very sad about this! Just got my Frying Pan and Gavel this week! Hopefully we can upgrade these new tools to Luminary status right away!

Maybe they'll increase the item level of Luminary tools, just like they did with HM primal weapons @ 2.1 ?

Titan weapons used to be level 70 (iirc), but it became item level 80 at patch 2.1.

Good point! Hope this is what they decide to do.

[LineageRazor]

Perhaps acquiring a Luminary tool is a necessary step in obtaining the new tools - or, perhaps, a Luminary can be used to augment the new tool in some way. There's lots of ways SE could handle this, so it may be too early to cry foul.

[PROBOUND]

I'm guessing at the very least we have our "Glamour" system.

Or the new tools are upgraded Luminary tools like Artifact Weapons.

Wow, people find anything and everything to complain about. I am personally excited for all the PvE, crafting, and gathering additions. Also, the Glamour system is something I have been waiting for since the release of this game.
