Thread: Specialist System in 3.0

No, what I am saying, is Orangard's argument regarding how specialization will likely only affect the top tier of recipes is moot when that's 90% of things we'll be crafting and selling.

It can just be 1 item. 1 SINGLE item that gets crafted. if it requires a specialization, there will be issues with it.

Imagine if all the artisan tools were only desynth'd from ONE single craft.
or if BC3s are, etc.

That only affects the end-game desynthing, sure.. But isn't that all that matters?


Can you imagine how hiked up the prices will get if certain items were only crafted/desynthed via a SINGLE method?
Just think back before 2.45 when you had to desynth artisan's specs to get mcDs.. They were over a million gil each! As soon as they released artisan tools and it allowed 3 desynthing classes to obtain them, to a varying degree of effectiveness, it dropped the prices.


Competition will create a healthy market. By forcing people to specialize, that reduces the competition.. Prices will only go up from that.
