Sorry, but this patch does nothing to save crafting in Heavensward.

* Specialist recipes from one class gates another specialists' recipes. This is not a good precedent, as it makes leveling more than one crafting class to 60 absolutely necessary, which is the opposite of the intended effect. Why are we being told that we don't have to level more than one crafter to 60, when that is clearly not true at all?

* No buffs to the specialist system itself. Just artificial gating behind recipes.

* Crafted 185 items without materia slots, which causes the following problems:

1) You can't meld materia to them to increase spirit bonding.

2) NQ is completely, 100% useless for replacement gear. It spirit-bonds slower too, since NQ spirit-bonds slower, and it still counts as 185 despite having 170 ilvl stats.

3) HQ versions inferior to non-capped Alexander Normal gear for alts
