4.05 crafting disappointment

As far as reskins go, least the WoD reskins are not some insane glamour quest that after wasting your time becomes some random drop in PoTD. Reskinning has been around since...well




It's also a smart way to handle resources since, having as many outfits as they do, I'm sure the files start taking up more and more space if you did uniques for everything. Since this is the first wave I'm a bit more lenient, this is early 4.0, but I do hope to see more stuff pop up in 4.1.

Might be the worst for you, but I find it to be the best thing. Now I'll be able to obtain the dyeable version of the WoD gear.

I guess you guys are right. WoD reskin isn't necessarily a bad thing. Some WoD gear do look nice when dyeable.

I think I probably was in a bad mood after some unlucky melds... I was trying to get one Tier V in at 17%, and it blew away over 35 of them materia. So after the melds, I was having some unrealistic expectations. But anyway, why does the first overmeld have only a 17% success rate anyway? That's not very sensible... We used to have about 30% success rate for a Tier IV as first overmeld. Does any of you think it's too low as well?

I guess I was thinking along the lines that the Ao Dai stuff should require 2 star status (i.e. post-meld, or yellow scrip gear requirement). Probably because of my expensive melds, I feel this sort of things should be a reward instead of being so available to anyone without the need of Master Book V nor effort of achieving higher stats. But don't you remember the Spring Dress and Spring Skirt were also 3 star back in the old days when they were released? They did have a stats requirement. I probably had this wrong expectation that I deserve something nice after going through the hell of melding, only to find that the Ao Dai is easily available to anyone with gil to buy silk... I was like "Maybe I should have spent my money on the silks instead of the melds"... MEH, I'm a cat-human too... have emotions XD
