3 Star Leatherworking requires THREE other specilzations

[Katlyna]

So I just finished all of the recipe books. And I'm a Leatherworker and Weaver primarily from my crafting history (and those are my primary specializations). But this morning I noticed something which POed me to no end.

Leatherworking has three star recipes which require Eikon Cloth (WVR Spec), Eikon Iron Ingot (GSM Spec), AND High Mythrite Ingot (BSM Spec).

So any way you specialize, as a Leatherworking specialist you CAN'T freely make all your recipes at a given time. You will always have to rely on at least one other class. As far as I can tell no other specialization has this problem. This is freaking absurd! The only justifiable thing I can state is that leatherworking often has near the highest recipes. None the less you solve that BY PUTTING THE RECIPES UNDER A DIFFERENT CRAFT.

Sorry, like I said I'm fairly POed about this along with a number of other things I'm observing about the new recipes. This is just another log on why SE is doing terrible things with their specialist locked recipes.

This is fine... to a point, but when the masterbook as a whole is less valuable because of it, then the system has gone a bit too far. I don't mind specialisation, I do not like when specialisation makes content completely inaccessible for solo players.

The core of the problem is that crafted materials should never require specialist.

Like hell I can ask a crafter friend to make 50 Eikon Iron Ingots HQ...

Each of my friends who crafted in 2.0 found the whole situation too daunting in 3.0. OF my friends who actually kept with crafting in 3.0 they found keeping up with it too daunting. My friend who just joined who wants to try to craft for the big money is going to take months to even catch up because apparently catch up mechanics aren't for crafting!

This is the direction I believe SE wants to go in. the time where we can make everything ourselves is closing into an end, just need to adapt
It really isn't that bad.

or just make the material is not locked behind specialist, and just lock the recipe for end item, its fine.


i REALLY REALLY hope SE just doing this specialization bullcrap in star recipe and not normal recipe even for the future (4.0 anyone?). if they doing specialization lock in normal recipe, well, goodbye then.

Starred recipes are normal recipes though. They're just harder (as indicated by their star, and their craft/control req's) to do than their simple level would indicate.

I think the problem is that people don't want to inconvenience their friends. I know I don't want to bother people to make me 20 cloths or whatever.
