For those who don`t get the problem with red scrips...

If you specialize and make a name on your server, people will come to you with their mats for , so heres another way for you to craft without having to gather or spend money

Good joke. The only people with mats at this stage are the ones intending to craft items themselves because no one else has the funds or insanity to farm them.

Youre far from specialized or not? Later ppl might rather have some equipped crafter craft their 2 stars than risking to NQ it. There are also gatherers with 60 crafts but not actively crafting anymore who still want in on some 2 star sales later

No one will come ask me to craft a 2 star item when the mats cost 300 million.

Edit: Actually I've had a few people ask me but when I tell them the mat prices they can't help but agree the system is awful.

In 1.0, you are required to turn in a 2 meld item. Now, in 1.0, on a melding fail, you lose all materia + the base item and 2nd meld % chance was around 20%......just saying...

1.0 had a lot of issues. Stuff like that is probably why it failed, now Square are bringing back similar situations with red scrips.

Would you even want to attempt to craft it in the first place?
I assume you factor in a botched craft when weighing up crafting something for someone or is that just me?
I sure as hell wouldn't want to craft something for someone that I couldn't replace with relative ease if I failed to HQ for whatever reason.

You have absolutely no idea how forefront crafters work, do you?



In case you don't know, those happen to be GSM, CRP, and BSM crafts, and I can confidently say I can HQ any other 2 star. Yet, no one is going to ask me to craft stuff. You know why? Because no one has mats.

And before you comment on the prices, you're free to ignore them because I have no intention of actually selling them. I simply can't use them yet.

I would never botch the craft, I would just go for NQ and lower the fee. However with 2 stars, if you fail to HQ you've got an item equal to the 1 star HQ version meaning the item is as good as destroyed anyway.

Just knock the prices down a couple of hundred mil and they're practically right on value.

Kudos to actually doing the ridiculous favor grind.

That's what I meant by a botch, NQ is useless IMO with very few exceptions.
The amount of times I've gotten NQ items from quest rewards and they have been worse than my lower ilvl HQ gear pretty much engrained the fact that if you do not HQ you wasted the mats like you say.

Going by the prices right now mats cost at max 20 million, its still alot but no way 300 mil, ppl overreacting again
