Recipe changes in 1.19

[Reika]

They can easily lower the levels.

In FFXI the spell Meteor/Comet were in the level 100-200 range for players, now it's in the 94-95 range.

I believe they will be lowering the rank of equipment that is not yet for new recipes. new iron gear wont be anywere near the r40+ range anymore. Looking at the list, everything looks like it is going to be properly Level tiered by material type, as it should have been a long time ago. Felt/woolen, Raptor/boar, Cobalt, Rosewood/Mahogany/Oak?, and Electrum look to be the new R40+ crafts to me.

And as informed in the JP translation link, after the old recipes are deleted, the gear already created with old recipes wont be reduced or deleted. We just wont be able to make a R48 iron celata anymore, or other such equipment.

If that's the case they should have said so in the official NA thread, instead of making us find the information from a third-party source.

I agree. I was really irritated it wasn't mentioned in the original recipe changes post. Cause I knew it was mentioned weeks ago, but I wanted final confirmation on it. Plus, it's just bad for newer players/players on break who craft and haven't seen that dev post a while ago regarding it. Resulting in them scurrying about trying to exhaust or convert their materials only to find out they never needed to do it til 1.20.

on another note, I wish the new weaver synths would have used a shiny material. The weaver, con, and thm guilds make me jealous with all the shiny npc robes and gowns ; ;

Pretty sure Bay and them working on the official translation one, the JP one was posted early this morning PST, normally for important stuff gets official translation by Bay or Rikku same day

I hope people can keep in mind that these recipe changes are simply a part of a larger system.

Materia system : Creates increased demand for NQ items, as the only way to create a piece of materia is to destroy a piece of gear. This will make it easier to sell those NQ items.

HQ changes : With the upcoming change in 1.20, that HQ ingredients will create an HQ finished item 100%, it seems quite necessary that said ingredient synths only create quantity one.

Will the new system be balanced and perfect right out of the gate? Not at all. 1.19 is an awkward "in between" phase, like the FFXIV's adolescence.

I had that feeling too.

There's latex in the game, but we can't use it to make clothes out of

The Miqo'te Of The Sun picture in the instruction manual looks like she's wearing a latex top, and there's a Miqo'te Of The Moon during the Limsa main story arc that looks to be wearing the black version. (Can't find a picture of her though)

The changes you listed only effect making money off your Craft. The changes announced today are about Changing the way we level which inevitably lead to Massive XP unbalancing. The lost recipes, even if they are phased out over time, are going to create large gaps in grinding recipes(yes you can grind on finish products, but its going to take so long it wont be worth it). It's to bad Yoshida refuses to give crafters any real content. If he did, this wouldn't be causing any problems at all...

Looks good.

I guess they're saving silk or something similar for a cap increase or something. Oh well!

Indeed, I'm really looking forward to seeing if they add silk as the next cloth, and if so, what kind of clothes can be crafted from it.

As much as I don't mind all these unisex clothes right now, I'd like to be able to dress pretty eventually, 'cos my miqo'te is a tom-cat, not a tom-boy.
