Thread: Recipe changes in 1.19

Bayonne, can you please answer this question:

Will the new recipes and yields for items such as Yarn, Lumber, and Leather be in addition to or a complete replacement of the current recipes?

For example, will 2 Moko Grass = 12 Hempen Yarn *or* 1 Hempen yarn (different synths) or will it become only the later?

This matters a great deal to players right now because if so we will want to convert all our raw materials before the patch goes live.

Actually I just realised, will we be able to turn 'Dated' gear into materia like other gearo or are they not being given this option?

What's happening with jewellery if nuggets are being removed? I don't see new recipes for rings and earrings.

SE's "metal" recipes are listed from low to high like this:

Bronze
Iron
Steel
Mythril
Cobalt

Ok, with that since we already know that it goes Bronze > Iron > Steel, then we can assume that Mythril comes after Steel and Cobalt comes after Mythril, making Cobalt the highest grade metal available. (or so I'll assume for now).

In the new recipes they have Steel Celata and Cobalt Celata.

If Bronze Celata is R38, Iron is 48 we can assume that Steel will be R58 and Cobalt should be 68 (since there is no mythril, I'm putting Cobalt in its place)


Another example:

Coper Barbut: R13

Bronze Barbut: R23

Iron Barbut: R33

Visored Barbut: R43

Steel, Mythril AND Cobalt Barbuts are in the new recipes, so where will they go?
If we use the assumption made earlier wouldn't it be

Steel Barbut: 53

Mythril Barbut: 63

Cobalt Barbut: 73

I find this interesting, since can easily just make them all under R50 but limit them to certain classes and ranks like for example a Cobalt Barbut will only be wearable by GLA R50.
has there been a level cap increase notice? or will they fit the new mats between currently existing ones?

Pardon me if this has been already addressed.

Well either they mention items that are currently unmakeable, but will one day be, which is possible. Or it means they are throwinging away a level cap increase for the forseeable future, and have decided to make what was once planned to be higher level gear, into max level gear.
essentially turning higher level gear into lower level gear because they kept us at cap way longer than they initially planned, and are not intending a cap raise, but want to use some of the gear they had already designed long ago so it doesnt seem like we arent getting any variety in gear

I tend to beleive the latter, because they are designing an increasing amount of content with a level 50 cap in mind. They are calling a lot of things endgame activities now. They are going to have more people investing in level cap gear with materia, looks like some skills that were supposed to be for higher level classes will probably become job skills (like the bard spells/effects already in the dats)

I think overall its a sign that they are probably going to hold on to this cap for awhile, at the very least till ps3 release, which is probably a good 9 months away at least.

There's been no mention of grade 6 gathering nodes and the fact you can get cobalt in current grades is enough to suggest the level cap isn't going up and that higher rank gear has been lowered. Will be interesting to see how they handle it to prevent gear becoming obsolete as soon as it's added.
