you said you stopped doing them after 1.18. But if you never abandoned them what the hell does 1.18 have to do with you not doing them anymore?

The battle, the overall sp, the reward...none of them makes battlecraft worth doing.

The magic word is also the forbidden one...i "enjoyed" doing leves because i "enjoyed" battling here. Who would say...i liked the original game with all its flaws and bugs and 3 seconds latency and MW crashing 3 times a day.

I never played the game to have 654675476547 classes 50...i always played for fun...and this is why i'm still annoyed with leves, with 1.18 still and already concerned about 1.19.

EDIT: Don't get fooled by my sig...all those ranks (except by BTN) were obtained prior 1.18.

then how did 1.18 ruin leves for you, they didnt really change much.

You people are ridiculous =/

Oh, damn it! All the excitement I felt at first suddenly changed into apprehension: if they're gonna nerf this bad the number of materials in the next patch, I guess I should work like crazy to increase my crafts before it arrives in a week?

And it couldn't happen at a worst time: I finally got the hang of battle and was leveling quite nice for the last days with a few friends. Just thinking about going back to lvl up my crafting by force doesn't sound like fun.

Back to recipe changes topic then. ^^:

IMO these changes will bring way more problems than benefits...but then we have the default excuse... "In FFXI was like this."

In the end it might be a backfire...the idea was to make synths cheap so people would spam finished items and drop the prices to poop levels...so people wouldn't mind turning their stuff into materia. However, these changes not only will turn most materials way more expensivebut also will go against the "realistic" proposal FFXIV had...but seems this proposal will also fall with the FFXIV's "V" in 1.19.

maybe we should assume the dev team has done some xp balancing with the new recipes before we freak out about how we wont be able to rank. maybe you can grind on yarn for 400xp each now, no one knows.

also i think its ironic taht some of the poeple saying crafting is not real enough now(no arrow heads for arrows) are the same people complaining about 1 ball for 1 yarn. Isnt it more realistic that 1 would equal 1 and not 12.

I think leatherworkers, when SP is involved, should love this patch. Highest rank thing i see to grind on for leatherworker right now is raptor skin. Since raptor skin is going to stay the highest tier leather, it will still be good to SP on. Also since finished items will take way less mats, making them good for SP as well, there will be something to do with that raptor skin besides make raptorskin targes lol.

Even tho the yield changed from 4 to 1, I still think things will speed up for leatherworker. We will just have to see what all the recipe ranks will be. *Raptorskin would be a good thing to convert right about now

Well, so far I'm liking this thread, so many opinions, so many good comments. I just want to add that not matter how many times I try this game, in the end it feels just like a poker game: whenever I feel I got the right cards and I'm 100% of winning big time -wham- I totally lost the bet.

But also, sometimes I dare to take a risk and gamble....it pays off!!

So I'm willing to gamble and risk that in the next patch, particularly when it concerns the implementation of materia (which I'm really looking forward

) things are gonna change for the better. Sure, a lot of people got the hang of today crafting and many have capped their crafts (lucky fellows!

), and I have to confess I'm pretty freaked for the new system, but let's be positive and hope for the best.

And in the end, if the market prices rise, nothing helps to get more money than doing 5 star leves, and that's when our high battle jobs come in handy.

Btw, I really need to update my sig (thought it was done automatically), I'm reaching lvl 38 soon and finally: By the Twelve! To be able to wear my armor without penalty for rank!!!

Wow, that is a huge revamp there! -eyes stacks of miscellany on retainers- I think this transition will be a little painful, but ultimately for the better.

I am a little confused about the list though . . . I hope it does not include everything? There is a conspicuous lack of pink gear and all-purpose pink dye. >.< And is it just me or is canvas going bye-bye?

It will be interesting to see once the patch goes live. I can't wait to get some new crafted gear -- I hope all you weavers are ready!
