Kinda sketchy upgrades for crafters..

[M60-Maniac]

Thing is, in the same way most players can't do top end raids, most also can't do top end crafts. Some prefer crafting, or love it, where as others 50 all war classes and get relics n zeniths etc.
these weren't made for casual crafters the same as t5 onwards went made for casual war players.

I personally love crafting, I have all 8 classes materia capped in everything since before 2.1 (359 craft 364 ctr with new head peice) all 8 books, 2 new tools so far (been busy so not got more) but I can reach the caps for 3star without the new tool, should I need to. So far sold 2 3stars hq. I'm the only one on my world who can do them too.

What SE did with crafting was a good thing, those who don't agree, your not a true crafter, those who are will be the sane ones who were pissed that 2star was so Dam easy
