Crafter (and Gatherer) materia

[Mature]

Thank you Tango. Those numbers are an absolute disgrace for a full red scrip gear. How do they expect to let new crafters craft 3* star stuff?

The main issue are the red scrip accessories I think. Having only base CP. they should 're do the accessories having control and craftsmanship included. Might as well remove them cause tbh they have no use but a good way to waste red scrip.

I may be wrong, but weren't the i180 accessories (crafting and gathering) added almost exclusively as a means of converting items to tier V materia? I thought that's why they added mostly useless high level items to gather and useless high level items to craft from said gathered items. I haven't actually done it myself, but that's what I thought was going on. The conversion rate is probably terrible though, of course.

I've not done crafting in HW yet (highest is like 53), just gathering. Confusingly SE has effectively made materia irrelevant for gatherers if you use red scrip items. The only advantage to be had is more GP, which would be nice every now and then, but not a big deal. Looks like they did the opposite with crafters though.
