Let's make make that $$$ (gil)!!

[Avenger]

I was already distracted by crafting for months in ARR - and then I found Caimie Tsukino's crafting guide and I have been unable to stop ever since!

I liked how for the ARR crafting guide you didn't just tell people to cut and paste macros, instead encouraging crafters to figure it out on their own. Now it seems like most people just cut and paste, which is OK but not quite as interesting as making them yourself. I remember the madness of trying out maker's mark rotations for that ala mhigan crafting gear and actually succeeding (and failing, haha.)

I still miss making those Isolator Components (?) for the Ixal before they nerfed them.

Like many people (work or school anyone?) I've usually missed out on the patch day gil rush; but that's probably OK - I was eventually able to pay for those giant stacks of materia that I burned as a sacrifice to the demons of Advanced Materia Melding.

Besides glamour-any-item-you've-bound and a universal currency tab, I would like to have more outside furnishing slots.

Yeah, good old days when people would actually read a guide without answers, and use the hints to figure the answers themselves! I think the real fun of the crafting mini-game lies in figuring out the answer of the puzzles yourself, and the guide served well to provide as much hints as possible without the spoiler... That was the reason why I originally didn't put any rotations in the oldest version of that ARR guide. Unfortunately, as time goes on, I received more and more comments about my guide lacking rotations. So eventually I gave in, and I gave them what they wanted. It did kind of killed the fun, imo.
