Recipe changes in 1.19

[Misha]

Yoshida has said that he has plans for Alchemists and Culinarians, but it won't be until after 1.19.

Yep, sucks we have to wait but they're going to be MUCH more useful in 1.20+ ^^ Plus food and alchemy potions gonna carry exact details of what they do on em in addition to the changes and buffs... something we never even got on 11

[Vesper]

I've had my suspicions in the past, but now I can confirm: Square Enix hates Alchemists.

Hates alchemists? Are joking? How many fish recipes did they hand you to SP on vs new food recipes with fish for CULS? They gave alch like 50 recipes for shards/crystals from fish, it would not have been hard to add in a dozen or so new sea/river sand recipes so we could atleast sp a bit better, have you looked at our rank 40+ recipes vs what you rank up on? There are over 50 fish in game, nearly all the sea sand recipes are in the rank 1-30 range with a few being in the rank 30's. You know what our higher rank sand recipes are? Friggin fish that are still on in game yet, the damn game still suggests that we rank up on recipes that are not even possible to complete. WTH is that about?

How many people do you think use glue vs how many players regularly consume food? Alchemist may not be the most favored of the classes, but it sure gets more love than culs have at this point.

1 year in and only a fraction of the players in game actually make use of things we make on a consistent basis. Supposedly next patch, okay we shall see. Won't be surprised to see us once again excluded from patch notes though.

And again, I am not down on the entire patch, but im pissed that they keep shoving us to the side with every patch for a damn year now.

Actually, for me at least, this was very nice to CUL because a lot of the only-NPC-bought materials like cinnamon or the ones that were only easily obtainable from NPC had their prices reduced by quite a bit. Making gathering streamlined by reducing the amount of "noise materials" you can get in each zone makes it easier to get the cooking ingredients you need en masse.

All I really need for CUL is for the more stupid recipes (Crowned cake) to not be dumb and for all the recipes to produce multiples.

Overall, I'm displeased. Oversimplification and easy street makes me sad. D:

Yeah putting items in a box and smashing the confirm button is so hard........

Yay, sarcasm on the XIV forums. Even though I said nothing about the crafting mechanism, and was referring to my goldsmith, which I won't go into detail about, as I assumed with a simple post that others would have their own personal relations to the plight.

I am not complaining about the cost of ingredients dropping, not in the least. My comments are directed towards the Final Product foods which have had price drops on NPCs. Crafted foods should just not be on the NPCs at all, ingredients are fine, but not the final product.

And yes Crown Cake is the biggest WTH recipe I have seen lol

There will be other money makers in that case.

Eh true, but you a "last resort" is nice for when no one is selling any. At least on my server all the NPC prices are still more expensive than the food price is currently, but of course I can't speak for all servers, and it helps some prices from getting out of hand for whatever reason. I think most food is overpriced personally.
