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.
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.
