Simplification of recipes not cool.

The modifications that i really hope are coming with the synth changes involves the following statement.

Hey i really want to make a bronze gladius. Wait what do you mean i have to be r20ish to make the blade?

I know its not that big of a deal these days, Well at least for us already established players. I Just remember my shell collectively hitting this wall in the early days of "live" service, and i know new players are running into it full force. I also remember us as a group having issues producing a bunch of other things due to the use of Buffalo leather as components for many low ranked items.

Dont get me wrong, I to look forward to the day when i do not have to scrounge up/make four colors of the same component to stock my retainer. If post production dying and recipe streamlining happens at the same time i will be a very very happy man.

Yeah, at first that sucks. But, after rank 20ish that really isnt an issue anymore.

When you take how the HQ system works into account, after all the effort it takes to make HQ components, its a good thing that the actual item is a little lower rank than the components. Unless they change how difficult it is to craft HQ+ components, I dont see how they can address your issue. It kind of fixes itself as your rank increases.

At rank 30 you hardly ever run into that issue.
At rank 41,42 you never run into that issue as you can make every recipe (with a few fails).

Things get a little more complicated with how DoL classes are interrelated with the crafting recipe's.

Its more of a matter on if you want to have easy HQ mats, and a hard final synth. Or a relatively easy final synth, and a hard time making the final synth. With the first option, DoL economy will crash. And youll lose everything you crafted on a fail with a harder final synth. With the second option, DoL remains healthy, and the final synth is a bit easier. But, making the HQ mats is a pain in the buttock.

its a choose your poison type of thing. Either way people are bound to complain about it.
