DoH Bonecraft

[Elexia]

Cool story, bro. Any compelling reason why they should split up goldsmith recipes into two classes?

"Cool story, bro" want to explain why they split up and rearranged the elemental table between THM and CNJ mean while leaving out previously used attack spells altogether (Water)? It honestly makes much more sense for there to be a "Bonecraft" profession to utilize the bones/scales more so than BSM/GSM/ARM utilizing them. Goldsmith in general is a jeweler that deals in fine gems and metals..not really the random teeth from wolves.

I wonder how many times a dev suggested something and yoshi turned and yelled

FFXI!

No. This is definitely GSM territory. When the game launched, there was a key item 'bonecarving manual' goldsmiths had to buy with guildmarks in order to work with bone/coral.

this is actually something i'd like to see implemented. letting everyone level every DoH is fine, but later they can add specializations that allow you to pick one specialization to craft exclusive things that a non-specialized person can't.

If they only allow one specialization as a DoH, then they should only allow you to have one job a a battle class. I really don't want to have to level 8 mules to specialize in all the DoH jobs.

They already said ages ago that with time they will somehow limit how many craft you can 'maximize' or 'specialize' in though, so that wouldn't be so surprising. DoH classes were always a different kind of beast, not really comparable to battle classes.

They have said a lot of things that have been changed, dropped, or forgotten. There's no reason to force limitations on one set on Disciplines and not on another.

I'm fine with GSM the way it is. Don't need another damn craft to go level. Leave GSM as it is.

having every single job class at max level doesn't significantly impact your ability to make money, at least not in a positive way. if anything it's negative because you have to spend that much more gearing up additional classes. having every single crafting and gathering class at max level, on the other hand, *very significantly* impacts your ability to make money and participate in the game economy. the two examples aren't equivalent whatsoever. your logic fails.

furthermore, the idea of DoH specialization wouldn't prevent you from having all DoH classes at max level. it would only prevent you from making a certain (likely very small) set of items endemic to that specialization alone. for example: taking a hart guisarme and adding some U/U material that drops from a new raid to make a new, stronger lance.

with everyone being able to have every DoH at max level, there's no variance and little interplay between players in the economy. everyone just makes what they need and sells whatever is the hottest thing. specialization would make certain items more rare since the number of people who can make it would decrease, and as a result the value of those items would increase.

this would actually make your crafting skills a little more in demand since there would be less supply.

i don't see how this could possibly be a bad thing.

AND LETS HAVE A BOOKBINDER CLASS WHERE ALL THEY DO IS CRAFT BOOKS!! ...How about no?

Why not?
arcanist books, exp scrolls, maps, notizes, recipes, wallpapers for the housing, everything that has to do with paper
