A few suggestions

I read something on youtube, someone was making a vid about the new announcment of yesterday and he said something I tough would be cool.

How about a cooldown on big recipe?
All those 2 stars and maybe even 1 star recipe, could only be done once in a X period of time.

That would make the prices go up.

Also I had an idea a few minutes ago to make crafting a bit more relevant.
How about making something to help make materia.
Materia is one of the thing that still sell for a goosd price on the auction.

How about making the new crafting station help crafter of level 50 get the materia they want? It wouldn't be like 100% drop rate, but it could help to.

When you click on it with a level 50 crafter it could help you convert a piece into the materia of your choice (something that is possible tho, dont ask a parry earing to drop a mind materia ) maybe give you like 20% chance of getting what you want.


What do you guys thinks about that?
Any flaw in my logic?

I don't know if a cool down for a big recipe would even make a difference in pricing. While it would probably spread out high-end sales among crafters, there would still be enough crafters able to make the item for competition to keep the prices low. Plus, through my experience, high end crafting doesn't sell very quickly. I assume that many people don't have or just don't take the time to earn that kind of gil.

As for the crafting station, I don't really see how a crafting station would help you any differently than just converting the item using the convert ability. If you were looking for a way to help generate specific materia, keep in mind that the randomness helps supply the market. Those who didn't get materia they wanted usually put it up on the market for others who need it. If everyone got what they wanted, the market would suffer.

I'm wondering if they create the vanity slots option, will items in those slots spiritbond with you? That might let you generate more materia with a better chance of getting what you want.

About the crafting station, well as they announced it, it is useless for level 40+ I was just proposing a usefullness to level 50 crafters and as I said, I dont want people to be able to choose, I want to influence the way it will end up. Like it give you +15% chance of having what you want. but its not a 100% chance. No the vanity system wont help in creating materia.

The way it works as been announced you will use an item that will copy one gear visual over the other. You wont be wearing the copied item. In fact they even said you can put it back in your retainer.
