Crafting Tables are Glamour?

[Capattac]

Has anyone tried to get the max level removed on crafting tables for FC houses? It boggles my mind that they are limited to level 40 and under crafting?? What sense does this make? It would be wonderful to have the level restriction on the buffs they provide removed AND it would make them more valuable. As it stands now, they just look really nice in our FC house I guess...

Thoughts?

Yeah, I thought this was weird too.

It pretty much makes them useless. It doesn't help that once placed they aren't removable without destroying them. Any hope of producing a few different ones and placing them as FC members leveled various classes went right out the window. These should work all the way to 50 and be easily removable. Glazenuts aren't easy to come by after all.

What's are best channel for promoting this change? I would be willing to get out my Soapbox, just want to do it right...

Honestly? I think it would be better if the crafting tables granted the following bonuses:

-XP Bonus for Crafters Level 49 and Under
-+10% Craftsmanship
-+10% Control
-+10% CP

Also, allow folks to use the crafting apparatus while crafting as if they were using their own tools.

This would solve two issues: First, it would remove the redundancy of having one of these apparatuses around when everyone's crafting level for that apparatus is over 40. Second, it would encourage players to craft in their FC houses instead of being out on the streets.

Not to mention that, for solo players, it would actually give a good excuse to make these apparatuses for reasons other than selling them off for gil.

Yes, yes and yes!

10% is waaaaaaaaaay too big. At current caps, that's almost 40 CP which would break the balance of endgame crafting. I like that it's extremely difficult to HQ primal weapons; they're one of the few places left in the crafting game where HQ isn't all but guaranteed.

I admit I'm not quite at the endgame crafting-wise yet, so some of those numbers are just there because reasons. If you have a better suggestion for how the bonuses should be, feel free to shout 'em out!

tbh, I don't care what % it offered. Just offer something beyond 40 to give players a reason to even have them beyond "it looks cool". And I love the idea of actually using the benches. I have a 50 cul and standing at that stove would be a hoot!

I hoped that they would work like the repair NPCs and the guild NPCs during 1.0, giving you a crafting buff regardless of the level.
