SE hates Goldsmiths?

[Nero]

First off, being a Goldsmith is pretty expensive. That's to be expected.

First off: No its not. I spent for 40 Ranks at max 100.000 Gil due Botches, but thats about it. Everything else and that includes all other Crafts is just farming Mats, turning them into Ingredients, Final Product -> NPC/Sell. If people simply dont understand that you can Rank up a Craft to 50, without spending much Gil, they didnt understand it. ( Was the same in FFXI btw ).

But we create items that people only need in extremely limited amounts. No one wants MOST of what we can make. They want rings. That's all.

Rings are a Skillup Item. If you try to sell these via Bazaar you will sit on them for a long Time and you will slow down your crafting progress. Just vendor them, but only do if you farmed the Mats yourself.. even if its just a couple thousand Gil per Ring, in the end its pure profit over the Ranks you are making them.

We at LEAST used to have the niche of being needed when those items got damaged. But after patch 1.19, not any longer! (and who needs a goldsmith to take your accessories to 100% when 99% is really just as good?)

Goldsmith can craft a lot of different things btw. not only Rings. So you need to get away from that way of thinking.

Also I see that accessories will not be able to get materia attachments. Thus furthering the uselessness of being a Goldsmith.

Tell me the Craft which will Upgrade Weapons then i.e. Banneret Lance, Jade Hora? Who will craft the Arrowheads? Who will craft the Gems, which are needed in Weapons? Who will craft the Ingredients for the NM Weapons as in Aeolian Scimitar? etc etc Goldsmith is needed for a lot, you never realized that?

Once everyone has all the rings they want, we are left to become 'starving artists' as it were, with no real purpose left.

To be honest, that comment was just bs.

Sure there are SOME weapons that a Goldsmith may attach materia to, but really, its not enough to make up for all of our losses.

... *facepalm*.. No offense, but you need to understand that there is really more than just Rings. I dont think you realized that while you was sp'ing it.
