Huh, I didn't know that. I've always disliked CUL so it slipped beneath my radar. I suppose we could see ARM not get any as well, though I'm still somewhat skeptical, since people already have chosen Specializations. They'd in a sense be putting a Red Scrip cost on anyone that had already chosen ARM for it. At least with Red Scrips, CULs hadn't already invested in anything that wouldn't also work for other classes at that point.

This is the main reason I'm HOPING only furniture/glamour will be Specialist only. I wouldn't expect them to release any useful recipes as Specialist only without unlocking the Specialist limit for those willing to sacrifice their Red Scrips to get extra souls.

Overall I agree. While I'm glad they're adding Specialist recipes personally, I want the main recipes to stay readily available, generally, especially keeping in mind the future, more attractive crafted gear.

Currently, I think you can't equip a 4th soul even if you have purchased it, right? Those who have spent on the 4th soul are going to have that soul sitting in retainer for at least another 3 months, or an choose to switch one of their class choices that was already made.

I think if they're to release any useful recipes as specialist, they really need to re-work that Heart of the [craft]... Specialist actions are not weak, but they're soooo dependent on Goods, and those Goods are just too rare for starred items...

well crafted gear can be HQed+meld with 2 materia in the safe slot for faster spiritbond, maybe farm with crafted gear is a lot faster (?). lets see the number when patch are up

Yay!!! How much is it? Also two things confirmed one 1:1800 ratio for red scrip mats. Two i185 gear is specialist gear.

we are doomed lol

the crafted i185 have no materia slot, and the stats is just a little bit better than i180 crafted, and it need specialist just to make the item, this is not good

Why would they even do that? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!! >_<

Omg I wasn't expecting this lol

I consider this new ilvl185 gear as "glamour gear" tbh, so the fact that it can only be crafted by specialists is no big deal. What really worries me is that we still haven't a good way for obtaining grave V crafting materia...and without those ilvl170 crafting gear loses a significant part of its value.
