Crafting is dead

[Aeyis]

Crafting didnt get suddenly more time consuming, it just takes more time to gear up. It gives casual crafters a chance to catch up since everyone can only progress so much (except you find someone to sell you the scrip mats and/or have the money to buy them)

Except it doesnt. Casual crafters will take even longer because they cant make their own equipment. So they will be forced to go the longer route of buying their equipment directly with red scrips.

Now while everything is gated you can just do your weekly craft and then spend your time doing everything else.

Btw, since all 2* have materials locked behind red scrips, you wont even be able to make a single one or you will take x weeks longer to obtain your own equipment.

So, what's the time-frame to fully gear all 8?

About 32 weeks if you craft them all yourself. (rough estimate) That's ofcourse assuming you HQ every single one of them. Without HQ scrip materials. (so only at about 5/11 or such starting HQ). Havent counted the ''bought with scrips'' route, but its much longer. (2 tools per week if crafted, 1 tools per 3 weeks if bought)
