6.3 Patch Notes

[Darkstride]

I have no idea how this works normally, but is it just me or is it weird that an item used for upgrading crafting supplies is earned in exchange for a combat currency and not a crafting currency

You're not buying an item to craft i620 gear. You're converting crafted i610 into i620.

They've had this system since Shadowbringers and they've already had this vendor in Endwalker with Classical Gear upgrades. You trade in the i610 versions of the crafted gear to gain Certificates. You trade Tomestones for Rain. Then the vendor sells the i620 upgraded versions for Certificates + Rain trade-ins.

This can't come soon enough.

A toggle isn't going to undo the damages. Most people aren't going to toggle it off.

I didn't experience it in ShB, but I still think it's weird that for crafting gear that the item you use for the exchange comes from a combat currency and not a crafting currency.

It's designed to be used by people who have purchased the gear for use in combat to upgrade it, not for the crafters themselves to make a new type of gear. It makes perfect sense for it to be a combat currency that pays for the upgrade.

But you already knew what I meant and you're merely here to pretend that you either misunderstood or that I misunderstood.

It makes perfect sense, you're upgrading a piece that's Disciple of War/Magic gear, so it should use currencies that relate to Disciples of War/Magic activities - doesn't matter where the item originated, the only thing that matters is what Disciple it is oriented for. That, and it would make zero sense for it to use crafting currency when its intended to be a catch-up gearing mechanics for more casual players, people that may not necessarily have crafters, let alone any at 90 that can earn max level crafter currency.

Back on topic, some extremely nice QoL going on in this patch.

I'm not sure why you're so defensive. Your own words said that you don't understand how it works.

I explained how it works.

It would be nice to know if my main job is going to be worth playing after the 10th or should I invest in another MMO. This is where not having a test PTR really backfires on FF14.

Every game I've ever seen a ptr in no meaningful changes are made based on community feedback. It's just used as a promotional thing.

Yeah. WoW has one, but they still try to make undocumented changes which are usually controversial to say the least.
