What is exactly is the point of crafting?

[Skotie]

I suppose they don't want it to be so trivial as to be able to craft your own iLV90 at this stage in the game. That, and the best items in the game should be gotten through quests and not the Market Board.

Eventually new and higher-level recipes will be introduced. You could say that leveling your crafts will prepare you for those.

They don't want it to be trivial to get the best gear in the game, not trivial like running AK and WP a 1000 times or anything right nothing as trivial as repeating the same two dungeons over and over no....
