Thread: Recipe changes in 1.19

HQ changes : With the upcoming change in 1.20, that HQ ingredients will create an HQ finished item 100%, it seems quite necessary that said ingredient synths only create quantity one.

Will the new system be balanced and perfect right out of the gate? Not at all. 1.19 is an awkward "in between" phase, like the FFXIV's adolescence.

The changes you listed only effect making money off your Craft. The changes announced today are about Changing the way we level which inevitably lead to Massive XP unbalancing. The lost recipes, even if they are phased out over time, are going to create large gaps in grinding recipes(yes you can grind on finish products, but its going to take so long it wont be worth it). It's to bad Yoshida refuses to give crafters any real content. If he did, this wouldn't be causing any problems at all...

And... whered they say that HQ ingredients will always yield HQ crafts?

It was mentioned in a dev post somewhere. If you get a full set of HQ materials and craft an item it'll have a 100% chance of being a HQ item. It's also the only way to make a HQ item, and there won't be +1, +2 or +3 anymore, just +1, but +1 will be the equivalent of +3

Looks good.

Triairy posted up some information regarding the crafting recipe changes that I wanted to pass along here.

The old recipes (our current recipes) will not be removed in patch 1.19, and it will still be possible to synthesize items using the old recipes. However, after a certain amount of time, these old recipes will be removed. Once these recipes are removed, items will not be able to be synthesized using these recipes. Although the recipes will be removed, items that have been synthesized using the old recipes will not be deleted.

In regards to the items that will not be used in new recipes, these are items that will not be included in new recipes for synthesis, but it will still be possible to use old recipes including these items to perform synthesis.

However,

• Blacksmith: Copper Ingot
• Armorer: Copper Ingot

will be removed from old recipes in patch 1.19.
*Recipes for synthesis by blacksmiths and armorers will no longer include copper ingots in order to maintain balance.

Also, some of the old recipes listed in the updated recipes list will be altered in patch 1.19.

Are there no new recipes for alchemists and culinarians?

There will be no recipe changes for alchemists and culinarians in patch 1.19.
Recipe changes for alchemists and culinarians will be implemented in future patches.

There is something I’ve been wondering about. It seems like dew thread can be synthesized 3 at a time, but in the changes it says 1. Can 3 dew threads be synthesized in one sitting? It seems like it requires 3 times the materials too…

Yes, items listed as (3) can be created 3 at a time per synthesis.

Puk wing is listed as an item that will no longer drop. The recipe for ether requires puk wing for synthesis, so does this mean that ether will no longer be able to be synthesized?

We reported the fact that ether will no longer be able to be synthesized to the development team. They responded that puk wing will be removed from the list of items that will no longer drop in patch 1.19. Thank you for noticing this.
