Go to NPC which sell things for crafters scripts - then lvl 50 (in menu) and there you should see scrolls - They are useable for Specialists - it's like "wait" in crafting process, in which you can get Good or Excellent proc
Its also useful for skipping "poor" states after an "excellent" without losing buffs
So I just got back from a business trip the other day and logged into the new patch and was immediately overwhelmed.
"Just read the tooltips" does not work with this new crafting system. I feel like I used a jump potion to level a job to 60 and have literally NO idea what I'm doing anymore.
This is coming from someone who leveled ALL jobs to 80 before 5.1
SE completely changed the system to fight ability bloat and macros but both still exist.
There are abilities that will get zero use but still there, people figured out macros on day 1 of the patch.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
Lily is gone too.
Thanks for those pics tho.
I'm really not enjoying this. As someone using wacky rotations with specialist skills that could get a lot out of the system with little gear I'm now stuck in a worse spot than where I was. I seem to be able to HQ roughly where I was at but I use so much more CP doing it that I can't afford skills like reuse anymore. sadface.
If anything it's the opposite for me. It become so simple that I now have ton of CP left after HQing. The system becomes so simple that there is no need for "whacky" rotation, it just straight up synth with very few steps.I'm really not enjoying this.

I hope the promise of the high tier recipes will be a challenge is true in the future, because crafting just got hit by the neft with the force of a freight train going down hill.
it's the opposite now actually, crafting is easier than ever before and you have more extra CP too, you can also use older stormblood food, skip the potion, use cheaper meldings and still have enough CP for reuse.I'm really not enjoying this.

Then I must be missing something. I could HQ grade 2 tinctures with reuse, Stats were 2167 craftmanship, 2052 control and 510 CP. Without consumables. If someone can help me get back to where I was it would be highly appreciated. Like I said I can manage HQ but seem to be lacking the CP for reuse.
ingenuity is op now, it gives a massive boost to you, the element combo skill is a better version of the original piece by piece.
