    The worst patch to hit crafting yet.

    Consider the fact for a second that you had 445 Durability and 4980 Quality to meet before for 3 Star crafts and THAT was difficult with max melds, (RNG Based HQ)

    If you use a single HQ mat in the recipe, you barely budge it maybe 6-8% at best.
    They nearly doubled BOTH the Durabliity AND the Quality required. Like serious what the hell is this crap? 8964? Absolutely retarded.

    The worse part is, only the offhand which is gated behind a week or so of rank 5 Ixali Dailies, is able to be obtained as an upgrade.

    Completely overtuned.

    Isn't there a new set of new gear for the main body? i60 Body/Hands/Legs/Feet should be available now.

    All gated behind the master books, which to get require the 3 HQ items, that are insanely difficult to do.

    I'm pretty sure the crafting content is designed so that most cannot achieve everything by tomorrow. Of course, there are always going to be those players that have the resources to get it all, by tomorrow. It's up to the rest of us to profit off of these people.

    Besides, if more people are lured away to the high end content, then that means less competition, and more potential buyers, for me. "Circle of Life," and all that.

    Ah yes, I want things handed to me.... not. I've got nearly every crafting class to 50 and I've made my share of millions on them as I leveled, don't think I didn't. (Nice try at a veiled insult btw, but really lame attempt)

    Its not like I'm poor, I own a house of my own, and plenty of rare things that you dont see everyone walking around with, but SE keeps applying its "insane grind" logic to everything, and its getting real old real quick. High end crafting could be made challenging without feeling like its another 9-5 job.

    In hindsight, like all crafts, they're actually not *that* bad. RNG can suck but I was consistently hitting over 50% after I fine-tuned my rotation.

    But I agree, 4 star crafts kind of suck right now, especially with some of the mats behind gated behind content no one farms anymore (i.e. T1-5).

    This, its not "either-or", and it really feels excessive right now, especially in light of the fact that we are limited to decorative items.

    I really wouldn't mind 50% at all if the mats were the same as the 2.3 mats. But this ones require 2 Field III a pop >.<
