Thank you for the crafting changes

[Kailea_Nagisa]

There are two QQ threads already about the changes to crafting so I wanted a "yay" thread to balance it out.

I now can not wait for 1.9 I loved the crafting, and for once I wanted to really get into it, as I never did in FFXI and I payed for it later. To me it was to complicated though.

We where required to make way to much to get the final product, and it really started to drive me nuts, because I really wanted to craft this time around.

Now we go from this....

Current Recipe (Hempen Doublet)

1 hempen doublet front
1 hempen doublet back
1 pair of sheepskin shoulder guards (taupe)
1 sheep leather strap (taupe)
1 pair of hempen sleeves
1 spindle of hempen yarn



to this.....

New Recipe (Hempen Doublet Vest)

1 bolt of undyed hempen cloth
1 spindle of hempen yarn
1 circle of sheep leather
1 copper ingot

and all I can say is yay!

I am sorry if you liked the way it was before, but it was just to cumbersome.

As a Culinarian, I approve of some simplified recipes. However, some high rewarding recipes should keep a certain complexity or at least some rare mterials (Raxe/Ex raid drops comes into mind) to balance out.

That kind of change is fine for a Hempen Doublet. Dodore Doublet should not be that simple.

It's all good, sometimes i love Yoshi! xD

I can't say how I feel about this yet until I see how the recipes of higher rank, "uber" gear is handled. If it's too easy to make them, then this is a bad change.

However, I am happy with lower rank items that really aren't that special being easier to make. I am a r35 armorer, and it's very hard to find a synth that I can actually profit from. By the time I spend all the gil (and time) collecting the different parts, I either get a really insignificant profit, or a loss.

the main issue getting dodores was getting dodores
so itl stay as is easily in that regard(probly will require 4 leather instead of 2 parts though)
and itl require alot of other random mats instead that made up the other pieces it had to it



im a heavy crafter, and i am somewhat for these changes

[Yumi_Hibiki]

im for the changes as well, i really liked the realism in crafting but having to synth 5-6 times for a simple cotton robe for example was just too much.

[Gennosuke]

Nice change!
Good move from the devs.

Yes and along with that, you wont need Subclass anymore, you will only see +3 Items, due changes along Subclass and Ingredients. Economy will drop a lot for gatherers, everyone and their Mum will be able to Craft anything without having ANY Subclass ranked up, which also will end up in Economydrop. After all its going into a direction where crafting is going to be worse than it is in FFXI now.

Im ALL game for some redoing of a couple Recipes.. esp for Culinarian. But getting rid of almost everything, which made this Crafting System unique and where ppl need to put some effort into it, is the most worse thing SE could have done.

thanks to these changes I'm willing to give crafting a try all the way through
