I actually don't mind up to 3 star, mainly because Supra is not required to do 3 star. That was the only saving grace for me with the mastercrafts, Supra isn't a necessity. However, with the 4 star I have motivation to attempt.

My original goal was to hit 50 on my crafters and then focus on gearing the 3 that I really wanted to main. At this point I'm just 3 star everything because it's more enjoyable content than grinding Supras and get to the lackluster 4 star recipes. I'm sure the next patch will add more BSM recipes, but this is the second time they've had the BSM tier contain only an Ingot as their recipe.
