Crafting Smart - Elemental Hours and Moon Phases

[TirionCrey]

As much as I'm appreciating your work on this(and I heard of this from other people as well) I'm not willing to believe this at all. One reason...this just seems WAY over the top. Second...each hour of the day is way too short to actually get more than 1-2 crafts done in it...so what are people supposed to do who want to HQ something...do 2 crafts every 20min?

Plus the only people I know who are like fiercly defending this whole superstitious stuff are people who don't even have a R50 craft and actually tried HQing stuff yet...in your case even worse, since you're highest craft is R19. This is no attack against you, but after crafting soooooooo much in XIV already, I can tell that having a few crafts below 20 doesn't make you a valid resource for crafting effects in any kind of way. Getting a craft to 20 literally takes 1-2 days of grinding it if you really want to, so your "tests" are subjective at best, but not nearly valid enough to actually give them any kind of "proof".

Plus everybody who brings up this whole elemental calendar stuff for crafting resort to the books In-Game to proof it. But sorry...the books are in the Conjurers, Thaumaturges and Arcanists Guild...they are casters who USE elemental spells, so there is no reason why this should apply to crafting at all. This could merely be a "tutorial" for caster classes to know which element to use against what element based mob.

Again, as much as I appreciate the work people put into this. Don't make up stuff or go with it unless it's really tested and confirmed in any way or we will have stupid stuff like the "crafting compass" back in this game that DO NOTHING, but people just go with it since it doesn't hurt to do it...

I will repeat it a third time, just in case you missed it the two times I did it in my post. I appreciate what you did

I'm just not a fan of spreading stuff that is neither confirmed, nor denied. It's player made stuff and the players don't know it, they just assume. As I said before...this whole elemental thing is all readable in books inside the CON/THM/Arcanist Guild...but they are mages, they are completely relieing on elemental properties of their spells, so what of that actually refers to crafting? Exactly, nothing.
