[Suggestion] A Practical Use for Group Crafting

[Steggun]

Having players work together to make some of the things that are currently missing from the game would be a good idea. Now this doesn't have to be group crafting per se, but it very well could be. For example we could create airships, chocobo carriages, player housing, maybe even an AH . I can't think of anything else at the moment but you get the idea.

Make it so all classes can participate in one way or another. Battle classes and gatherers could gather mats that are only obtained from killing mobs and gathering, these items are then delivered to an npc who is overseeing the whole project. Crafters talk to said npc and can either craft individual components by themselves or craft bigger components as a small group. The crafters could only craft components that the npc has materials for that were given to him by the battle classes and gatherers.

This wouldn't be something that players could always do, but as new cities and zones are added in the future new airships, chocobo carriages, player housing, and auction houses would need to be built. I'm sure there are other ways this could work as well. Please add your own ideas, suggestions, or thoughts on this.

Greetings Eveyrone.

I have brought up the question to Yoshida producer regarding the ships and cake we showed last year September.

It doesn’t mean that the joint production (collaboration) to make something has been dumped; it is still being looked into it. We are looking for a reason to why you have to make something as team/joint production; making it clear for what usage created stuff has after and implementing as a set.

So, currently it is still being looked into but if we get more information we will let you know as we see more information.

Well from your translation from the dev, they are trying to figure out how things will be used after they are created. In my example there are obvious uses for everything that I suggested. Where cannons and cakes don't necessarily have that many practical uses in my opinion (cakes especially).

Doesn't sound very sustainable. Once they are built . . . then what?

Things could eventually wear down and need to be replaced or repaired, or maybe players could put in a work order with an npc to get a new room added on to their house.
