An Analysis Of The Crafting Endgame

[Alahra]

Tl;dr, Crafting will get easier with time. If you don't have the motivation to craft right now there's nothing wrong with saving your Scrips and waiting to see how 3.1 plays out, hopefully changes are implemented to make things easier. If you want to craft 2-Stars right now I know it seems daunting but don't be intimidated by the high prices of the mats. They're actually really easy to gather with the Favor change and if you can do that you cover the majority of the (Admittedly ludicrous) cost. Trust me, its worth it.

Great breakdown in general. I'm not sure time is going to really solve anything for me, personally, but I'm hoping we do see some changes in 3.1. I want to see some more useful recipes and the like so that there are stronger incentives than crafting to get more crafter gear. I would like to make the i170 sets, but I can't get over my intense dislike for BTN and MIN. At best, I'll probably end up making them when Red Scrips are someday uncapped using the i180 gear. But that's nothing I'm particularly excited about.

I'd like to see the materials requirements for DoW/DoM gear lessened or for the materials to be easier to acquire. If they want the longer grind for the best crafted gear, that's probably okay. But getting to 2-star level and being able to craft something of consequence (that you can price fairly enough such that people will actually want it) would go a long way toward making the system more palatable I think.
