Thread: Specialist System in 3.0

Mmmhm, and do you want to be like an alchemist and sit in the corner crying because of one bad decision you might've made? Or do you want to be able to be able to switch to something that's more profitable?
That's my whole point against the idea of specialization, at least as it stands right now, if you run into an issue with a market you can't compete against (bad selection of things you can make, monopoly by somebody who undercuts so severely, etc.) you can move over to another section of the market rather easily, just spend a couple million on supra and lucis, and you're almost 4 star ready.

Besides, I understand that you can still hq with nq mats rather easily, but that's not really the point. My point is, it sells on the MB for the added premium. I believe sometimes as an insurance policy, and sometimes simply to save time. Either way, I make everything I need so I don't know the exact reason for people buying things as such, but that's not my business. I just make the sales as long as there's the demand.

The new system they're describing sounds nasty.. some time before you are allowed to "switch" I assume that'll be like the GC switch and you won't be able to be a meister in multiple classes at the same time..

Well, time to get cracking on my alts..

Somebody who's not into crafting simply won't be a crafter no matter how easy or hard you make it. Also, somebody who's into crafting will do what it takes, good thing I've been saving my money.. at least I'm ready for the initial rat race i suppose.
