Just in case your not aware of how they function now. Not possessing the recommended skill book causes your success rate per action to take a bit of a hit. Its functionally the same thing with synthesis support only not as severe (the game seems to be a bit more forgiving if you have any tier of support)

It seems like they will be shifting it so you will have a baseline fail/success rate (other math magic not withstanding) with support/books acting as well shockingly enough bonuses. at least that's my take on it.
Ah ok ty. I saved up and bought the Cloth Weaving book and when my friend told me the books were being removed it made me kind of 'meh'. Glad to know that I can still do Guild Clothshop + Cloth Weaving book = Rank 29 recipe as Rank 22 ^.^

In which case I can buy my Leatherworking book now, I was saving the marks for after 1.19 so there's quite a supply going :3
