Well, i am annoyed with leves still. I don't do battlecraft since 1.18 and might not do it anymore. Also, i don't rank up battle classes anymore unless someone ask for help with leves or something. Battle itself annoys me since 1.18.

IMO 1.18 damaged the battle system terribly and now 1.19 might do the same to craft. Seems like they want to finish destroying Eorzea before 2012.

whats wrong with that, you can grind on mats now, which sounds good to me.

youll be able to make a 100 synths and only take up 1 inv spot

nope it takes 8 synths to make a stack of cotton bolls. follow this thinking. that stack of cotton bolls makes 3 stacks of cotton cloth. which would make 300 synths of mats. that's 3 slots.

after you make those same 300 synths and you only have 3 stacks of cotton bolls and still have to convert that down to a stack and a half of cloth.

now you take that cloth and convert it into an item that stacks to 99 so you do not have to stand up every 30 min to run to the retainer. afterwards by grinding on finished gear you will be constantly npcing finished gear because it only stacks to 1 in your inventory.

to people that don't think they will npc their gear they make leveling up are delusional. out of the hundreds of earrings, rings, masks, or needles needles did you sell compared to how many you npc'd? well over 90% of them i am sure. people will use those same finished gear to grind off just because it's the easiest item to get the mats for. it makes no difference.

Aww yeah baby! People who dont like a change SE is making and voice their concern on the official FFXIV forum are all trolls!
You know calling everyone a troll is kind of like always playing the race card. It loses all effectiveness when it is over used.

There we go, I fixed it for you. Seriously, doomsaying is not going to help anything. The game will not collapse. You'll still rank up.

no, your wrong. i think the developers dont want anyone to rank up anymore.lol.

You people are ridiculous =/

ok ignoring the rest of the ignorant drivel and will just comment on this one thing.

if you have problems reading this thread then you may not have already seen what it is pointing out.

making cotton yarn....follow so far?

now it takes 2 cotton bolls to make 12 cotton yarn. still with me?

after it takes 2 cotton bolls to make 1 cotton yarn. do you understand still?

before 1 synth makes 12 items....after it takes 12 synths to get the same amount of materials. to grind 12 parts or 12 finished items it will take 12x the number of synths to get the same amount of material.

maybe i should say count from 1 to 12 and see which one you get to first.

This is only because you wont have to invest as many total materials into making a finished item. Take the new item Steel Cuirass VS the current Iron Cuirass for example. Iron Cuirasses as they are are a pain in the ass to craft, but after the patch, it will take a lot less time kneeling to produce a Cuirass.

For me being, wanting to mainly craft weapons and armor since day one, going from ore to ingot in one shot is a godsend alone. Looking at the new recipies for cloth gear, I see that they will also take way less materials total than the old ones did.

If they left cotton as yielding 12, then all you would need is 2 cotton balls to make 2 finished items.

Perhaps 1 is way too low, but 12 would be way too high for the current changes to finished items. Maybe if they went to a 2 cotton-2 or 3 yarn conversion it would prove a lot better.

Tho in a way, it is SE following their bad habit of going from one extreme to the other. Weaver right now is extremely easy to rank up, given that you can make so many materials and just rank up off of linen or woolen cloth in the end. Now they are turning it from having the highest material recipe yield to the lowest, as revenge for the extreme ease in ranking weaver.
