What bothers you most about the current synthesis system?

too few can be just as bad as too many

the problem is alot of people dont know what the balance even is, in my eyes, if the gear cost less then the materials all across the board, you have too many crafters

when the gear all cost several times more then the materials across the boardm, you probly have too few

its when the prices are very similar you have a nice balance


of course those that dont craft or hate crafters will always want the balance tipped in favor of the cheapest gear possible(which is why alot of stuff just plain isnt for sale anymore)

that's the very reason i don't craft items to sell in wards anymore. i can make more gil off making and selling fleece and other materials than the items they make so i just don't make them. there's too many crafters in the game atm and with the sp increases they've added it will only continue to get worse as time goes on. they can keep making the gear and selling for a loss if they want, but i will just keep making the mats and selling them for more profit.

Poffins was a solid mini-game based crafting system. I'd like to see something engaging and possible to interact with party members for boosted results/xp similar to how this system worked.

I can see it now:

{Disciples of the Hand} {Party} {Can I have it?} 30 {Goldsmith} {Do you need it?}

EDIT: Not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, apologies if it has been.

I don't even bother selling crafted items anymore. I make way more money off of harvested mats and a select few materials that need to be crafted.

that's my exact point. i don't craft finished items because they sell for a net loss. selling materials makes profit. if non crafters can't get their gear they can bring me the materials and i'll make them, but i will not do it for a loss. besides materials sell faster in the wards than gear anyways.
