Crafters have no right to get their own Chocobos

[Cycloptichorn]

oh no the empire attacks the company and they have a caravan of supplies sitting in the camp, but there is no gear nor weapons in it because the company had no crafters to make the gear nor gatherers to get the materials for them. whatever are we to do?

Hah!

There'll always be plenty of gear available from the crafter base, even if you do want to cry in your beer about it. And why not? They've got nothing else to do but make gear.

The idea that a bunch of crafters would refuse to participate, because they are denied access to something which frankly they don't need, is something of a stretch.
