Kallara, shame on you for dragging out an already stretch metaphor. Also, long time no see.

My original point aside, I don't really have a horse in this race. I spend most of my time crafting, but mostly just for myself, which means I don't really get sucked into the ever shifting tides of the in game market. I level CRP to have abilities to level my WVR to make Vanya for my SCH, level ALC for my Relic book, LTW for Waste Not.... For all the time I put into crafting, I'm still mostly just a dabbler.

That being said, I don't see anywhere in here where Yoshi-P says craftable items won't scale with dungeon items, just that they will always be a step below the best. Plenty of market out there for people who aren't ready for the best yet.
