There has always been a stat requirement gate for every crafting update (nor was my post directed to this particular one anyway); 4* has a high stat requirement that needs the new off hands. However, those offhands are time-gated by beast tribe-only materials that take 8 days (assuming you're max rank) to procure (and again, this kinda goes against back when they said they didn't want beast tribe rewarding BiS). Then you have the recipes that require mastercraft demimateria, and just the process of crafting those offhands and artisan gear into HQ in the first place (and HQ is required for 4* unless you plan on penta melding the NQ and have a supra). That isn't hard work to get the materials, its just tedium and a lot of RNG.

Before, there was only the stat requirements and the tomestone materials, which I don't really mind because you can for the most part. You could curve the former with melds, food, and buffs, and farm the latter. Now we have materials that are gated by time with beast tribes and materials that are completely dependent on RNG to procure.

I wish I could use the male suit on my character. I would pay with one of my kidneys if necessary.

There's been a required gate on crafting since crafting was a thing, though. It's not sudden, you probably just suddenly realized its existence. In 2.0, you had to have a minimum amount of craftsmanship to craft 1-star items like the crafter's AF gear. That's just how crafting is. Content -> Gate -> More Content -> Another Gate -> Even More Content. That's how MMOs work. So there is absolutely a precedent for this. I'm sorry it took you this long to realize that crafting isn't as casual a thing as it is in other MMOs. It requires a lot of hard work.

RiceisNice is super active on the DoH Forum. Pretty sure (s)he is a 4* Crafter and possibly has all of their tools based on how posts read.

But wait, just to be clear Rice, you're making up this recipe, right? I don't see anything in the Eorzean Database for wedding invitations. Sealant and Water to make wedding invites would be insane. o_0';

I wouldn't be surprised if they did make that into a requirement =3=.

Eithercase, I'm just keeping my expectations really low for this. They said something alongside of using hte lodestone to propose and go through the process, but there's probably an enormous fee attached to it. Eithercase, I wouldn't be devastated to the whole thing being a sham or wonked with my incredibly low expectations.

I was discussing that Weddings are coming to FFXIV with my G/F and my friends Wife last night. My G/F doesn't play, but my two friends are married IRL and both play. TPO Sosola Sola said her and I should get married, b/c I'm the largest toon in the game, and she's the smallest, so itwould be hilarious. I'm inclined to agree.

My G/F did NOT think this was amusing ._.

Ouch, how much does the divorce cost.

Your soul.

But actually, Yoshi said "By breaking rings, or something".

Well the best man suit is wearable by females so I would hope that would continue here as well.

The rings are made of indestructium, and you would need to commission Gerlot, Master Blacksmith. to break it at a % rate.

It's a game, ingame commitment shouldn't mean anything to outside relations, probably just being paranoid...Esp if eternal bonds gives some sort of perks or rewards.

While I don't mind about it much, I just hope it won't be 4-5 star crafting stuff.... They are giving too many things to high crafters lately and for achieving high crafters (Even when already having all them 50) it is a pain and almost almost so time consuming as relics are.... For doing something so time consuming as a relic just for craft-boredom you just go and do relics...

They overdid it with crafting.
