Craft Specialization

[BloodLotus]

Since everyone can level their craft to 50 and make anything that can be crafted doesn't it feel like you're not an important part of the world?

A post came up with a quote from an unknown source that has alot of potential to it.

What if after a craft was at the max rank you had the option to Specialize (Master) in that single craft?

When you Master a craft you gain access to tools, equipment, skills and recipes that are Exclusive to that class.

This might be a good idea since it would most likely stop the wards from flooding with goods so a crafter with one account could still make a decent amount of gil and be an asset to his Linkshell.

Of course you might want the option to change your Mastery so maybe you'd have to do the Mastery quest each time you wanted to switch as well as pay a hefty fee and wait a certain amount of time to do so. Maybe still be able to rank up the other crafts to max as well.\

Edit: If you like the idea hit that button. The devs keep their eye out for ideas that are popular or unpopular with the forum community. ^^

There are now 3 of these threads.

Those threads are polls about whether people want to be free to level all crafts to max rank or Only be allowed to level one craft to max rank.

This is about being able to specialize in a craft.

Sounds like the FFXI Merit System ... but for crafters, no??

It would give us another way to get rid of our failed HQ attempts. We could turn some in for marks maybe.

I was more thinking like this:

As a rank 50 Alchemist I choose to Specialize in it. So now I get to wear the pointy hat and can make Batraal Glue.

As a rank 50 Goldsmith I can make regular goldsmith stuff so I would only have access to normal crafted gear and the common recipes that everyone has access to.

Grand Companies are all about allocating a city-state's resources for wartime...

....we have excess market filth....

....turn in the excess for Company Marks....

GENIUS.

It's basically giving a "Job" status to the crafting classes, but with the crafting you are limited to obtaining only one of the "Job" statuses. And BloodLotus you have phrased the opening post very well mind you, thank you for that. So honestly I believe this thread is in much need. I'm all for specialization, I wouldn't mind if people who really for whatever reasons don't want to work with other people in a MMO, could remove their "Job" status and obtain another one incurring a fee or time cool down between the switches.
