Reduce cost of Soul of the Crafter

[Spellbinder]

Specialist limitations were implemented with the economy and socialization in mind.

Any sources or quotes for that? Because it sounded a little different before Heavensward dropped.

吉田　そのさじ加減が難しいところですが、これによって「やりたい1クラスのみ極めても成立する」ことを実現しつつ、やり込みや「全部やりたい！」も叶えていければと思っています。また『蒼天のイシュガルド』から、クラフターとギャザラーにもアラガントームストーンのような仕組みが実装され、バトルクラスと同様に、アイテムを集めることで新たな装備や効果を獲得できるようになります。

The bolded text: Players who want to focus on one crafter will be able to do so, while players who want to use all crafters can also do so. The changes in Heavensward were supposed to be about choice. This system was proposed as a means to help players who don't want to level up all the crafters, not lock out those who do.

No one was stopping people from joining the various crafting linkshells that were floating around prior to 3.0, but now it's fine that our arms are being twisted into doing so?

I think reducing the cost or difficulty of replacing soul crystals is a sensible way to improve what they've done (although I also think 90 is too low), but let's not fool ourselves into thinking this system is all gumdrops and rainbows.

I won't say the specialist system needs to be removed, but it does need to be improved.
