Does Anyone Think Crafting is Too Slow?

crafting speed is fine when you consider you get 500+ sp if you are grinding the correct items for leveling. i bet you don't go out with battleclass and get 500 sp solo killing mobs that are only 5 ranks above you.

The best SP per hour, and best SP per gil, is actually just a little over 300 SP a synth on BS and GS. If you try to consistently synth over 400 sp per synth, you're just wasting effort, time, and materials.

Same fallacy fooled people into playing FFXI wrong for years--always trying to go for the 300 xp mobs, when they could have killed two 180 sp mobs in the same time.

i guess that's why i consistently grind on synths that get much more than than. right now at r45 wvr i am grinding woolen yarn into cloth at right at 600 sp. complete over 95%. my arm i grind iron celta visors. gets nearly 600 a synth and complete nearly every one of them. every craft has its easy and fast sp grind items.

per gil maybe, but not per hour. it probably depends on if you have a good, synth and the right books, but 300 is way to low, you could at least aim for 400 and those are usually super easy
