Frustration regarding Patch 2.2

[Lenarr]

787,500 seals to get 7 level 50 crafters the Master books...I don't mind work, but that's just completely insane.

people complained that there is nothing worth they can spend their seals for once they are lv50. SE heard to the feedback.

Very true, but you need 112,500 seals for EACH of your crafters (assuming you can 100% HQ your durability 40 2 star items). You can reduce that a bit if you're lucky with dungeon drops I guess.

112.500 seals = ~24 hours of upper la noscea fate farming, probably a lot less in cohertas. Yes, you ll farm seals and stuff as a guild too now

Other than that well, I don't think that time sink = meaningfull challenge.

At least new turns in Coils are here to fill that part, but for the rest, rofl.

I think the point is to force specialization onto crafters, and that it isn't feasible to be able to make every item for every craft like it was before this patch. That's why the costs are so incredibly high just for one Master book. It was a way to try and revive the Market Board and make the system closer to XI's crafting, without having to also put a firm barrier in your path similar to XI.

Well, I hope that their intention isn't to force crafting specializations, because being capable of leveling all crafts and crafting all items on a single character is one of the best things in FFXIV.

And you can still do that. It just takes time and dedication to each one individually to max out its crafting capacity.
Just like it takes a good chunk of time and dedication to a single Job to max out its combat potential. (Rotations , Gear, learning fights etc)

Getting all crafts at max level shouldn't be cheap, or easy.

Getting all crafts at max level shouldn't be cheap, or easy.

While I don't disagree, the requirements for Master recipes is currently just insane. Also, I notice you pretty much don't do crafting..............

I agree with this, but getting all crafts to max level is extremely easy. You can easily get a lvl 50 craft in two days if you have all your leve's. But I think you missed the point. We are talking about how insanely difficult it is to get the master books. There is no reason why this should be so difficult. However getting the items required to make a master book recipe should be difficult.

I feel the master books should have been obtained through some quests or even given to us. Who really cares if you have the recipe? It's all about getting the mats to make that recipe, that should be the items you are left to grind out or hope the RNG gods are kind.
