Square Enix has to come out and spill the beans and tell us there is a reason to gear up any class. They don't have to specify what it is, just explain there is a reason to get gear that will be beneficial to any part of the game. There needs to be something for crafters to do at end game, anything at all! Otherwise it's pointless and a waste of time and money. It's as simple as that.

Im a mastercrafter and mastergather too and hmm I think Materials and Favors should had been Blue Scripts. SE made an attempt to make casuals get crafting and gather gear easier but I think they failed because its soo much work that you wouldnt be a casual anymore. This system is for the "rich only".

I'm trying to find a way to minimize the amount overmelds we need across the board. Getting a CRP and BSM to overmeld their current equips and invest their melds onto the crafted tools. BSM can make both tools for one class which can give a signifcant stat jump to lower overall melds required.

I mean if oyu look at it one way, you're gonna get all the other pieces eventually, but you need to get one class up to speed at a time with the stat requirements.

your sig is alarming

Over complicated crafting with high gear & melding requirements didn't go over well.

So they added more requirements and grinding.

Which didn't go over well.

So they added more requirements and grinding and gated it.




Good job~

Edit: I'd like to add; I tried crafting - I really did. ALC 50 CUL 50 FSH 50 MIN 50 and it was boring all the way through for me - then finding out I had to buy/make/beg for HQ gear and then meld & over-meld it turned me off. Then they added books and specialty nodes to grind out to make the new stuff they added later. Right now I don't see myself ever catching up or even bothering with it just due to the sheer complexity and time required by all the systems.

QFT , but that SE for you , overcomplicate things to the point that even the players that love it , stop bothering with it...i would never understand how SE come with this horrible ideas.

Technically this system isn't "rich-only" because i'm very rich but one item costs more than my entire fortune to ATTEMPT to craft. Even the richest players in the world with billions are screwed because they can make perhaps 10 more items than anyone else but then their 2 years of fortunes are gone forever because those 10 items would never sell.

This system is for no-one.

If only people cooperated instead wanting to solo all the crafting g content.

Try to think of your top tier crafts like a group encounter. The system isn't perfect by far and needs big adjustments but it is trying to encourage people to work together.

Myself and two of my friends are doing exactly this. We each picked our crafting classes to specialise (with one overlap obviously) so that we'd have all bases covered.

This is still a nightmare.
Wanna know what I'll need if I wanna cap red scrips this week? (obviously mats subject to change but the past two days items have been the same mats)

405 Chimera Mane
27 Fleece
27 Natron
216 Deepeye Tears
108 Bear Fat
135 Aurum Regis Sand
27 Gold Ore
81 Amphiptere Skin
27 Dark Chestnut Log

And that's just for me to cap, it'd be that or similar mats x3 for all of us. All that. Every week. Or pray to baby RNjeezus that we get a low-ish level item to hand in for our red scrips.

Wasnt there a logo at Pax or whatever that said the community comes first? (couldnt find it but thought of it)

SE get your crap together!

[AsahinaMyLove]

people actually cap these extremly hard to get 450 tomes-limit? o.O
