Thread: Recipe changes in 1.19

Glad I already have all 8 crafts at 50.

example: Iron Celata Visor (parts)
product is Iron Celata. Its not listed anywhere in the recipe change categories?

if the parts arent gonna be used, isnt the product suppose to be listed with an updated recipe list?

There are a lot of omissions like that seemingly for space. Though given the modular nature of xiv's recipes you can look at the celata's listed to see the new template. In that helms case its plate2x, rings, ingot.



Just as a bit of an aside, with the new tiers of mats (steel, cobalt, mythril in metals case) I am wondering if we are going to see the current "top of the line" crafted gear get shifted down a bit in rank with the new stuff being top end. or if there going to get weaved in to the current structure some how. ah well 5 more days until we find out.

While that a possibility, its a really messy way of going about things. all though gear won't be the only way of moving stats around. Remember all those "Useless" stat swap guild mark traits? bout to be a whole lot more usefull.

I really can't figure out why would they even think about changing that without offering alternatives. Did they add a new way to SP crafts? did they add new ways to acquire those raw materials? did they increase the drop rates of those raw materials by 400%~800~? Did they increase the SP gain for crafting? Did they increase the SP gain and bonuses from local leves? Did they slash down the SP needed to rank up?....etc

Crafting as is, is one of the most time/money consuming and boring aspect of the game and SE continue to ignore this fact and now they decided to prolong this process by this!

Again, this is really disappointed.

Seriously. While it hasn't ruined 1.19 for me I feel a bit vexed. On one hand I did think that some changes should have been made to lower level crafts as far as gear goes, the fact that all gear resembles each other (in terms of the recipe) is a lie! I thought Yoshida said that this wouldn't be the case, and yet as we can see it is.
This is an extensive list...some of it was unnecessary.

Gear recipes needed a change, but all parts or most parts and their removal was not necessary. Not if they were going to keep their promise that higher ranked synths would keep close as possible to their original recipe. Also, have you seen some of these cut backs? From 12 to 1 under the pretence that "if any more in one synth is created there will be an influx" however certain parts require MORE parts. Already it takes 5 cotton threads to produce 3 bolts of cloth. That's hardly unbalanced.

Such as undyed Velveteen. From 5 thread to 1 or 2 cotton, and one Dew, when dew thread's recipe hasn't changed at all but the amount it yields has been reduced to 1 instead of 12.

I don't think we should spend that much time on sub-parts to create cloth when the previous recipes were doing the current system justice. If anything, reduce the amount of threads from 12 to 6. Not 1. 1 is bullshit.

I hope that is subject to change as it is something I'm currently leveling off of. Further more, dew thread is ranks higher than undyed velveteen, it's silly. Pointless, really, that it was even touched. Lol I can't even.
