So long as crafted materials don't fall under these specialties like how Wootz Ingots, Ebony Lumber, Platinum Ingots, etc. are all 4-star crafts and pretty much require Lucis tools AND second master recipe books to craft, I'm fine with the specialty system. Specialty crafts should be finished items like weapons, armor, consumables, etc.
