Future of Crafting In 3.0 - Trends and Value

[Mishini_Dracoto]

Here's what really really pisses me off with each crafting patch, so am a main Armorer i really like to make armors etc for myself and friends especially that oh so good Wootz sets (or Koing and Ares if you prefer) but behold!! SE gives Blacksmith the Ingot recipe and not just that their entire MASTER book if you wanna call it that way consists of just 1 recipe !!.

Now dont get me wrong on this but if WVR,LTW,GSM and CRP can make their own primary mats themselves why cant an Armorer do the Wootz ingot? why do we have to be in partnership with fucking BSM?! . And to add to this mess more if say i wanted to be an armorer and make the armors i have to do double the work a LTW,WVR and GSM would do (Need to get two supras, need to Turn in 6 HQ Supra turn ins and behold!! need fucking TWO Off hands fully melded).

The point of my rant is . . . Why cant BSM make weapons? why does he stops at i70 weapons and thats it? why does SE insist that Armorer and Blacksmith need to be in partener ship is it because if they give him 110 crafted weapons these would be too OP? NOPE Novus does that too and is pretty easy to get with all the Atma and Animus nerfs , oh and to make matters worse seems the Allagan wootz Nugget is so damn cheap on balmung that it goes for about 10k!! THEN WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF MAINING ARMORER AS A CRAFT!!

I can't click like on this hard enough. I agree with everything in the first two paragraphs. My goal is to be that Completely Self-reliant Tank/craft all my armour / gather all the materials for my craft. That being said, Allagan Nuggets aren't something we produce as Armorers. The Allagan nuggets are easy to get, and I, for one, am happy at the low cost. Makes the ingredients lower in cost to make (but I mean hey, you still need 5 of them for each piece of wootz armor) On Ultros, last I checked, they weren't selling for less depspite cheaper mats. all of the i110 gear was selling from 5mil-10mil. I'm aaaalmost ready to start crafting them. I am glad knowing the mats are cheaper / it will make my craft more relevant.

It's very anti-climatic as well, that as a BSM, you go through all that work, and your ONLY 4* Recipe is an ingot used by Armorer. The jobs who made out well are WVR/LTW. Between those two you can make the most full sets of gear, and they are currently selling like hotcakes @ 25mil/set.
