Craft Specialization

I personally really like this idea. By allowing characters to do this, it will have them seek out crafters who have mastered their desired class, facilitating this whole "It's a MMO, a community, not a single-player do-it-all-yourself game" idea which people like to throw around.

I feel this will add more identity to individual crafters, and give them the opportunity to find more work.

I am also in favor of this. As long as it applies to combat class jobs as well.

I am in favor of this as long as they let you change your choice of mastery at any given time, even if you can only have 1 at the time.

I'd like to see a hefty fee and time requirement to switch though.

Yes.

If you need to choose one craft to specialize in, you should also have to choose one job (WHM, DRG, WAR) to specialize in.

Yes.

If you need to choose one craft to specialize in, you should also have to choose one job (WHM, DRG, WAR) to specialize in.

What would the benefit be to that?

Even if there was a benefit I seriously doubt SE would implement jobs with this limitation.

I think we will see specializations down the line for jobs in terms of something similar to merits. :P Like, a Bard who specializes in certain songs, a White Mage that specializes in resistance spells, Black Mages who specialize in particular elements, etc.

Honestly i would not, i like the "switch on the flight" methodology.
but is something i could live with.
