Please make the ability to get Mastercraft Demimateria equal for all classes

[yexie]

If everyone had the ability the desynth into Mastercraft demis, then likely the market would be full of them, or at least a lot more than have now. The prices would crash, etc.

Now, that's not going to destroy the market, by any means, but it would make those current desynth classes less attractive.

Don't give me wrong, my Alchemy desynth at 83.5 is my highest, so your suggestion would help me, but being able to level multiple desynth classes, it isn't hard to pick one that is able to mastercraft, another for something else, and a third for funsies, etc.

The prices are much higher than any other item that comes from desynthesis. Because unlike all other items GSM/BSM have the monopole on them and they are actually needed for progressing in crafting/gathering unlike the primal demimaterias for example, which are basically for glamour.
And yes you're right if all would be able to make them BSM/GSM would be as (un)attractive as the rest

This is actually good for the economy. The Items obtained from NPC is taking gil directly out of the system instead of shuffling it from player to player.

YES, completely agree, just they shouldn't have made them craftable at the same time.

This is a valid argument for the OP point of view. I concur. We need this tug-o-war to keep the markets flowing. Balance them out and the markets will stagnate once again. Why do you think the newest relics required items crafted from 8 different classes desynth to make? So one person with their 3 maxed out desynths could not make the other 5. They want us buying off each other.

I get your point, but your example can't be compared IMO. The Mastercraft Demimateria are only needed by endgame crafters and gatherers, they are needed by ALL of them. So your example of balance and buying from each other would need another type of Mastercraft Demimateria to be acquirable by desynthers other than BSM/GSM, so that for example BSM/GSM and whatever else would need THAT item for THEIR endgame crafting gear and would buy it from WVR/LTW/CRP or whatever... and WVR/LTW/CRP need the help of BSM/GSM for their respective gears. That would be balance. But that's not how it is.

For starters, Silver Sovereign is a 2-Star fish and generally considered the LEAST optimal way to get a Forager's Hat (and thus Mastercraft Demimateria). CRP has an option in the Forager's Rod but it needs 20 HQ Silver Sovereign which is completely unfeasible to deem it a reliable source (I got a Field3 from mine btw). There's a thread on this over in the Item&Synth section (or maybe it was the DoH?) with a far more indepth detailing on how unbalanced the gains for MDM is between the various classes.

As for people saying it's balanced by how say Field3 is easier to obtain for some (mainly LTW and WVR). In terms of cost the bridesmaid/bridesgroom are not very cost efficient for Field3 compared to what they sell for on market board. GSM also has really easy access to these in the glasses that can be made from very cheap and easily accessible materials (especially if you bother killing some imperials yourself for them). Fieldcraft and Mastercraft materias are NOT balanced at all among all the classes in availability or ease of gaining and people who say they are, are outright ignorant.

QFT!
Not sure if this is the thread you mean, but here is one that gives a LOT of info on the subject. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Endgame-Guide
