Thread: Patch 3.1: Crafting Reborn (?)

Diabolos was, in ARR at least, one of the more crafting-focused servers, so competition can at times get a bit cutthroat. Omnicrafters here are already often at war with one another on the highly desirable markets before even considering folks that may only have a few crafts at max level.

We can roughly guess. Yoshi-P's said that after 3.1, they'll be back on the normal patch schedule, which suggests we'll see 3.2 about 3.5 months after 3.1's launch, sometime in February. One poster mentioned December, but that's actually for 3.15 (the patch adding Anima weapons).

When 3* crafts came around, they hadn't actually mastered crafting yet. Fortunately, level 51-60 crafts are like lite versions of master recipes, so that's probably supposed to tackle the skill issue.

There are certain recipes that should never require more than a macro to craft once you've made the investment in gear/materia. Things like battle potions, which last only 15 seconds, and players burn through for their progression.

I'm not sure if "Crafting Reborn" would happen at all in 3.1. The patch note seems disappointing. I still have some hope in it, so i will wait and see.

If 3.1 is as depressing as it is now, then hope will go to 3.2... Yet, if 3.2 is 3 months away, i dunno how i can live with the depression for that long...

I can see myself gearing up in 3 weeks of 3.1, then there's nothing to craft that would benefit raiding... Maybe there will be some business with the i170 gatherers' offhands and possibly rings and wrists? But it seems so empty ahead... The rest are just boring furniture or easy 1 star glamor clothings...

Aaand the combat gear will not have value than for glamour since new gear is up to ilv 180 ._.

Am I reading these notes wrong, or does GSM seriously not get any recipes for new accessories?

They've already stated that there won't be any new accessories until 3.2.

Guess I was out of the loop on the no-new-right-side-until-3.2 info. But hey, we have furniture and glorified dungeon gear to tide us over. Hurrah. Should be able to print gil with the max-ethers, at least. Small consolation.
