Thread: Specialist System in 3.0

ok so after waching the pax east ffxiv 3.0 panel i got realy worried.
one of the great things in the game is being able to provide and make everything by myself. the desynthesis system made me worried and im not a fan not being able to have them all but at least rewards are same acros the board (maybe asaid of CUL)
But this specialist system that they brieflie mentioned for DoH realy makes me worried of simply not being able to craft everything i want and being forced to chose between cretain categories for crafters.

What do you guys think?
@devs are my fears correct of not having acces to certain crafts if i chose one specialisation or the other

Want to know it too.

If you already played crafting in FF XI, then you should already see this coming. ^^;

iirc, all craft/gather jobs can go up to level 60, then you must choose one and only that one that can go all the way to level 100. That way, it will require multiple ppl specializing on certain craft to help others.

Also, you can change other craft/gather job to go to level 100, but that means you need to reset the previous lvl 100 class back to lvl 60.

It's look like very bad idea ...

Actually its a great idea that does wonder for the market boards, and give other crafters more opportunities to make more gil. If everybody can just make everything, then the market boards will be vacant. Now that that 5 star chef, or that specialization chef is a lil more rare, he can put some value to his goods.

And I know this topic is old, and is in the wrong place... but... crafters, please stop undercutting your fellow craftsman. If you see a ring in for 15,000 put yours in for 15,000. Example...

15,000
15,000
15,000
15,000

From this group of 4 rings, what does the consumer have to pay? Is it a trick question? No, he has to play 15k. Regardless of when your item will sell, he will have to pay. Your item will sell, and you will get your money, there is no need to undercut this price by 2k, 1 gil, 6k, there simply is no reason. Get your money, and quit ruining prices of goods. LOL

tell me whats the point of the aromory system and all that then? one of the selling points of ff is to be able to do everything on one character it all disapears if something like that is implemented.

Every craft is capped every ten levels until you do the uncapping quest with a guildmaster. You have a total of forty "master levels". You can only have forty levels above 60 over all skills (except fishing). You can put them all into one skill and level that skill to 100. Or you can level four crafts to 70. Or any other distribution of the forty you want, but generally you'll portion the levels out in chunks of ten because that's how the caps work. If you level a skill and already have 40 levels above 60, you will delevel a random skill. So you don't uncap skills you aren't going to level; this prevents you from levelling a skill when you don't want to. You can also talk to guildmasters and reset your cap (and your skill) back to 60 if you want to reallocate.

What? Where did you hear this? Link please?
