Optimistic Speculation on Specialization + Links

[Hayward]

I hope to see recipes that don't require so many rare items to produce or has outrageous progress/quality requirements. Barriers to entry are the LAST thing this expansion needs in any aspect.

I wonder, though, if the Specialization system will have sub-categories in 3.0 or future updates. I can see the following being possible (I'm stealing some of this from XI for lack of better terms):

*CUL: Raw Fish Handling/Patissier. I can certainly see sushi making an appearance in XIV as well as some advanced pastry recipes
*WVR: Advanced Needlework. What's to say there won't be high-end mage gear that requires more intricate stitching (Noble's Tunic, anyone?)
*LTW: Tanning Expertise. Let say there may be a new version of Alumen that again has deodorizing properties and can work with new types of leather (Buffalo? Snake?)
*ARM: Chain-linking/Plating. If there's going to be new armor that will surpass Dungeon gear, you can bet they could require more advanced expertise in chainwork and/or platework.
*ALC: Alchemic Ensorcellment/Iatrochemistry: I can see the Mega-/X-Potions being part of recipes that make them even more potent. I can also see recipes for the Machinist's robo-weapons (attachments, perhaps)
*BSM: Gunmaking/Toolwork: with Machinist, I can see high-level guns requiring advanced construction. Same case for DoH/DoL.
*CRP: Finishing. I'm guessing new furniture/housing parts/weapons will require a technique that prevents wood from warping or peeling.
*GSM: Advanced Gemology: Higher-level accessories may certainly require more complex gems to be made, without flaws.
