Specialist System in 3.0

[Nyalia]

Giantslayer speculated something like:

Only casual crafters specialize. This allows them to do 4* and 5* recipes without cross class skills.

Omnicraft's wouldn't need to spec.

Did you miss the part where you lose access to recipes if you're not currently specced? It was in the Yoshida interview.

With the new system, once you're at 60, you can then become an apprentise to each respective guilds' guildmaster. You'll gain new skills and recipes by becoming a meister/specialist. You can have more than one trademeister but there'll be a delay before you're allowed to switch.

That's the real problem. If it was just harder to do a craft if you weren't specialized, whatever. We can devise rotations that work around that. But if you can't even attempt the craft without specialization? That's the thing I'm upset about.
