Same Red Scripts for CULINARIAN!!

[Xerius]

Some will view it as a penalty to single craft, some view it as a reward for capping multi-crafts. (Glass half-empty/half-full perception).
Again...Its your problem/choice.

You're definitely not wrong, the issue is SE is trying to force us into a couple main crafts instead of omni-crafting and then they seem to play favorites to different crafting jobs. Just look at ALC, it's true that ALC was barely useful at the launch of 2.0, however moving on from 2.3 they're required in almost every craft you do.

They should all be equal. I leveled my Culinarian before scripts was introduced and was again ignored when they patched it. Looks like the only option I have is quitting, this game is expensive as it is and now I'm being told I have to do everything differently, or do an extra 30 odd crafts more then the rest who do something else. Stupid it is.

45 crafts per week is gamebreaking.

I lol'd. 45 a week is too hard? Some crafters are doing 1k+ crafts a week, albeit not for scrips ...

There is a difference between crafting you have to do and crafting you want to do.

that's true I suppose... At that point though, I think you'd be better off leveling other crafts (can probably make it from 50 -> 60 in less than 100 crafts per, if you're doing leves) and at least then you'll have a better chance of not having to craft as much per week.

Not really. Say I'm trying to do my weaver turn in, the coif of aiming.

I need 2 felt, which requires 2 natron, for a total of 4 crafting actions

Crystal glass, which requires another natron, so 2 crafts.

Grade 1 dex dissolvent, 1 craft

Amp leather, 1 craft

Regis nugget, 1 craft.

So to make it requires 10 actions, for around 50 scripts. To hit cap requires 90 crafting actions.

Adamantite barreled culverin: the only time of the week (yes 7 whole days) I'll bother with red crafting scrips as even without a gold star bonus it gives 54 at maximum (trivial) collectible value. To be frank though there's no culinary recipes that even need melds/red scri gear yet as it got no 2 stars so really shouldn't be too bad till 3.1-3.2

And I also believe you can't quick syn crystal class either...

And that's not dipping into how many and what raw items you need, compared to something like morel salad




And a morel salad without star gives around 10 scrips last I checked, or 45 crafts total. Before the change, something like the coif would only give somewhere around 19. It was very very cost/mateiral inefficent compared to morel salad before the change was implemented.

Exactly. Anyone who thinks cul are "doing more work" is delusional.

As someone who really only ever cares about Culinarian crafts, I feel you. However, in comparison with the other crafting jobs we have it easy. The real issue comes down to do you want to make all of that beautiful Morel Salad to sell for X gil a pop or do you want to make it for your red scrips? In the end, I think it works out to be the same. It's just less of a hassle for us to sit down and whip out some salads than it is to spend 30m at least putting together ONE item (gathering + synthing) only to give it over to a NPC. Some of those items for the other jobs can sell for upwards 200k each. That's kissing a lot of gil goodbye each week. Gil that could be better spent on T5 materia when it's more readily available!
