Specialist System in 3.0

To be honest, if people are struggling to HQ with All HQ Mats and level 50 skills, they are crafting very badly. Lucis actually makes very little difference, the min stats needed for 4* are already very high.

I used SH2 + RS for most of the progress and finished using CS (lvl15 version).

Necro!!! You mean to tell me that the lucis tool isn't glamor??? and serves an "actual" purpose??? =D

Having said that, lucis is unnecessary and meant for casuals not hardcore crafters. Why do i say this?

1) Meant to allow for unmelded offhand
2) All the mats come from leve's and GC trade in.

It adds absolutely nothing when it comes to progress quality.

Oh but the extra craftsmanship!!! Well if you already have 453 before lucis, then seeing as you don't save a step it's pointless.
Oh but the extra control!!! Well if you couldn't HQ without the additional 16 control, then it sure won't make much of a difference anyways.

Personally i like my luminaries more than my lucis =D

Back on topic tho, i have so many questions how leveling is going to work from 50-60 because they have to cater to both new and old crafters. I'm more interested in what we're going to use in terms of mats. A hardcore crafter will be able to 50-55 in every class within 12-18 hours i think and 55-60 within 6 hours. Assuming that they don't care about price of new mats. I can easily see the race for 8x60 being less 24 hours long.

Just some stats for people. It's about 88 crafts for every 5 level, regardless of if it's 15-20 or 40-45. I don't expect that to change.
