    Uhhmm. Now I am more confused than ever. I thought I understood how this was all going to work before. The way i understood it is these items will be usable with the old recipes for a while longer then the old recipes and these items like nuggets would no longer be usable. If thats the case then say that. No need to make this complicated.

    Just say something along the lines of "This list of items will continue to be usable with old recipes until a future patch removes the old recipes and makes this list of items useless."

    I think the issue here is that people are reading one thing and reading too much into it. They may or may not choose to remove certain recipes but I did not see anywhere in the patch notes about them eliminating any recipes. They have changed some and those were listed. So the old recipe was replaced meaning that only the old recipe was removed from the game and not the items used to make them. The best way to describe what they did was "streamlining" Example:

    Iron ingot from start: Old Recipe Tree- Iron Ore x 4 + 1FC---> Iron Nugget x5 +1FC
    New Recipe- Iron Ore x3 +1FC

    This does not remove Iron Nuggets from the game. It just means they are not in that synth...making Iron Ingots far easier and less expensive to produce and allowing the player to skip making the nuggets in order to get what they want. They are trying to eliminate the "middle" synths or the prep work needed to do what people want to do to level a craft. That was where the really boring grind was at was burning Shards and Crystals to produce one product which you were getting no skill off of and then having to make another product (again no skill up) and then finally producing the product you actually are going to use to skill. Iron Nuggets will still be around and usable for other synths but now you will produce either Nuggets or Ingots from your Ore.
