Amount of HQ items RIDONCULOUS!

[Borfin]

Wh...

Is this thread serious?

[silverhope]

its not that its EZ per say but NQ dont sell so when ppl do make HQ they sell them. Either its for a tripple turn in leve (which uses HQ items to be best turn around) or HQ foods which are much better than NQ. If i mess up mkaing food and do a NQ I just save it for myself.

Given how much NQ gear is given out throughout quests why is this imbalance? In fact I would argue it's the only reason to craft.

This. Tons of NQ gear is purchasable from vendors.

Why shouldn't player-crafted being superior be typical?

[Starlord]

The one thing I hate the most is being undercut 30 times each going down by 1 Gil each ( something that's 20g can go down to 5gil...). Prices between HQ and NQ on some items barely have any difference. And it is kinda hard to get 1 full stack of HQ mats for DoL.

Many of my FC mates can HQ 100% every single recipe in the game, might as well get rid of NQ and HQ since the crafting game is just a time sink, many gear pieces on the market boards are just filled with HQ and barely any NQ.

Also, at this point almost all of the gathering materials are worth less than 50g each, only the philosophy mats are worth something, this is also the reason why it's barely possible to make money in the game anymore, the only option left is materias, and the reason is because they have RNG, were not for that, there would be absolutely no way to make money.

I didn't like XI's crafting because doing HQ crafts of high tier recipes was pure RNG, but giving players the option to have a 100% guarantee of HQ on any recipe is just as bad, if not worse, because gil right now is pretty much useless besides getting your gear repaired.

They may claim this in shouts (like you see all day on Odin), but I do have my doubts about "100% every single recipe".

Unless you're being nitpicky and talking about some 40 durability material recipes, I don't see a reason you'd find that implausible.

It may seem "nitpicky" to you, but personally I don't like seeing endless shouts of people talking bull. I.e. "Master Craftsman - 100% HQ *Any Recipe* using NQ mats" etc etc.

A lot of these people are not even using 80 dura rotations/gears that give a certain 100% outcome.

I guess if you count 40 durability recipes it's fair to say that you can't 100% HQ EVERYTHING but it seems like a useless distinction.

The 40 durability ones are never final products. They are always ingredients for 80 durability synths which can easily be HQ'd using all NQ ingredients anyway.



edit - Also, the people responding to those shouts are rarely crafters themselves so adding in "100% HQ using all NQ mats on all 80 durability synths" wouldn't mean anything to them.
