    The point of Specializations was to fill the role of some of the now near mandatory lvl 50 Cross-Class abilities. They were meant to allow those who only wanted to level a few Crafts to be able to HQ their Endgame Crafts. Omni-crafting has always been available, and yes it can be a problem when everyone can Craft everything, but with HW they made it MUCH more difficult to reach omni-craft levels, while simultaneously easing the Endgame for non-omni-crafters. Those who were willing to put in the time and effort were rewarded with the ability to omni-craft, but with Specialist recipes no matter how much time or effort I'm willing to commit I will never be able to Craft every Specialist recipe at any time. Unlocking the Soul Crystal limit would have been a fair trade-off to this as I could have spent the next few weeks worth of Red Scrips unlocking Specializations for the rest of my classes, but as of right now that doesn't seem to be happening.

    Specialist Recipes aren't the end of the world of course, but they're a thorn on the otherwise beautiful rose that is Crafting D:

    I agree but I am still surprised on the level of easing they did. I rofled pretty hard, but now I can help gear out my friends with slowing my progression.

    Yes sorry typo on last materia. Still rest is a money sink. I'm gonna wait and carry crafting for money with what I've got.

    Red scrip gear is not too bad. My other concern is if I started making MH and melding away ... What are the chances of getting abrazo there lucis like tool :/ I'll probably just hang myself lol

    It is known that there is a small chance that DoW/M i170 gear converts into Tier V materia, so I would assume a similar chance exists for DoH/L (not that anyone would have taken the risk considering the cost until this point). There will likely be a few more flowing in from the Diadem, as well--if we're lucky, from direct drops, if we're less lucky, people will be trying to transmute elemental Tier Vs at Mutamix and getting good stuff out.

    Overall, this seems much more feasible than 3.05, and I'm pretty pleasantly surprised; it restores the DoM/W <---> DoH side of the gil triangle. Time to go use all the tokens I've been sitting on.

    Actually, the i160 Crafted Chestpieces can yield TV as well:

    For specialist it's fine if it's just glamour and housing items. If they ever do mats needed for other crafts that's when it's time to panic.

    Agreed. If specialist recipes do not adversely affect my ability to craft regular DoH/DoL/Battle gear, it's an acceptable compromise if it ends complaints about omni-crafters.

    As long as specialist recipes do not result in ingredients required for another class's crafting recipes, there isn't much harm in them. If you do end up needing specialist recipes from other classes in order to craft your own, however, I feel that specialist recipes will kill all but the most hardcore of crafting players, and thus the markets will be even more ridiculous, and result in the exact opposite the dev team claimed this red scrip/specialist system was supposed to do.
