My limit for crafting is like 1 hr and I fall asleep. Those comments are so true about being boring. I don't know how you machines do it having multiple level 50 crafts.

yea... but once attributes work.... do you know how OP it would be to have a mythril Choker, 2 electrum earrings... 2 mythril wristlets and 4 of those attribute rings, for instance 4 of the +7 Vitality rings?
Your accessories would start to outweigh your gear....
People have been saying remove the slot cost, it's not that big a deal... but it IS

With a +1 of all those pieces... you'd gain
def +62
MDef +59
eva +37
Vitality +28
HP +52
Attack +4
magic potency +7
And YG says a hidden +45 attack and magic potency
Thats just stats from jewelry with slot cost removed...... frikkin jewelry

that's kind of a big deal...
And taken into account the vitality will actually matter... that could really lead to an invincibly OP tank....

And add Materia on TOP of that

They have robot fingers... it moves even while the player sleeps

Ah, true, I see. Couldn't you just turn down their effectiveness? I REQUIRE BLING

I can only do it while watching something....
Right now I'm doing a Babylon 5 marathon while crafting

And add Materia on TOP of that

OMG yes.. I didn't even think of that... If they just outright removed the slot cost at 1.19... they would create an army of unstoppable OP machines... a return to the NM solo days

I think thats what they are saying.. maybe....
Who knows really... but I gathered that they are saying "We will remove the slot cost... but we have to lower the stat boosts of the jewelry so we don't make the game ungodly easy"
or something like that
But I've been wrong before...

JP side is fearing the worst case scenario - actual equipment slots being removed.

Part of me things that materia may not be added to accessories. If you look back at the table full of materia back in the lodestone post:

You can clearly see that materia is much bigger than a ring. I know logic doesn't fit in a fantasy game but where would the 5 materia go attached to a ring ya know?

...I dunno if it's cause it's too early for me but I'm not sure I understand this =o

But if they do that hopefully they have enough sense to lower the effectiveness of each piece right?

That would be major sadness... they took so much care to actually show jewelry on the character (even earrings!?) to see them so away...
