^^ I see it the same way. I have all DOH at a 3 star level but have no chance to upgrade them all with their Level 75 tool. My only chance to do it would be to stop with Coil and stick to crafting only.

Craft to make money, use the money to buy mats you can't produce on your own (GC currency, Myth or Ixali craft items for 1 and 2 star recepies), then craft the items only to destroy them.

But I do not want to do this so I am still trying to get my 1st Level 75 tool at all. RNG in melds and Desynthesis take care that you need lots of time at your disposal if you want state-of-the-art crafters. It is no longer something for inbetween and I do not really like the way they upgraded them in 2.3 introducing Desynthesis and Level 75 tools. I am one of the few crafters who doesn't do it for the money. I just want to be able to craft any vanity or housing item that's available for myself and FC and their members. So I am not willing to invest gazillions of GIL into it, especially when the crafts make little to no sense in Endgame besides Culinarian for Buffood and Alchemist for potions.
