Before you were making mats that you vendored to an npc for almost nothing. Now that you are capped you will buy the gear i make to level materia and with that money i'll buy more leathers to make more gear. What im trying to say is that the leveling process should pay for itself instead of making thousands of useless mats.

nothing at all of what you have said has changed that fact. if it takes even twice the amount of materials and synths it will double the length of time to reach cap. the only way it would not is if they doubled the sp in that scenario which is exactly what i said.

I completely understand and i was only saying it will revive the market. Just because someone quotes you it doesnt mean they disagree with you lol.

Regarding ranking up, a lot depends on the number of items dropped per extraction. SE could well change this number, and I actually full well expect them to.

A cap of one mythril ore per extraction (as it is now) completely nullifies the point of (a) Mind stat, which affects the number of items extracted (b) abilities such as King's Yield, which increases the number of items gathered. By decreasing amount of ingredients produced from materials, this number can be increased.

Regarding the thread synths, I guess you don't remember how at release the cloth synth made one cloth for 3 yarn, 4 or 5 cotton yarns. With the reduction in the number of cloth required for finished items, it was pretty clear that a reduction in the synthesis yield was coming back.

I think the system can work out, as long as SE adjusts the gatherer drop rates appropriately.

New level up process will consist of more ingredients made, and fewer finished items. This reduces the number of finished items entering the market to something that could potentially be absorbed via conversion to materia. There are new ingredient synths that will be appropriate rank. This was promised as a part of the revamp, that ingredient synths would be similar in rank to the finished item synth rank.

No need to panic just yet.

I'm hoping this is temporary and will be fixed when they rework alchemy. Yoshi said he was changing the dye system so lets wait and see.
