Craft grinding now impossible without self mutilation?

you're thinking of the wrong thing. he's not talking about jewelry.

Actually he is - Talk of the jewels and the recipe level of 41-45... Electrum Ring is 44 GSM. Electrum Rings is 38 ARM.

Btw, 7 levels higher recipes = 500 exp, 3 levels higher recipe = 300 exp, same level = 200 exp.

That's incorrect. Please look at this post. Thanks.

Same level = 250 exp, with +50 per level above.
So +3 = 400 exp, +7 = 600 exp.

I think you're confused. Electrum Rings (the material) is made by GSM (41-50) that's what he is talking about. Why would he be talking about working with new recipes and then make a reference to an old one? He's saying they are easy to make because all you have to do is go out and farm the electrum ores.

3 ores -> 1 ingot -> 1 ring
8 ores -> 3 ingots -> 3 rings

Wasn't there hints that crafters will soon start leveling up mostly via quest or some such thing?

Would love to hear something like this, but I don't recall reading that anywhere. Do you have a source on that?

Instant synths for leveling, minigame for HQing is the way to go on SE's part.

I am fine with an instant synth option, like an improved version of Hasty Hand that reflects the chance of failure if you were actually mashing standard synthesis for the synth. But I'd also like to see the exp reward vary more with Quality as another option for people.

Your source is talking about "Jobs to progress by clearing quests rather than gaining EXP." Doesn't refer to crafting that I noticed.

Last I checked, Electrum Ring is not craft-able at all.
They didn't add any recipes to make Electrum Ingots into the Ring, so you're stuck with the old nugget recipes, and you can no longer make electrum nuggets because that recipe was changed to make electrum ingots.

I tried 3 gold, 1 silver ores to no success. And sand doesn't exist anymore.

Whut? 4 Electrum Ore = 12 Nugget. I've been making tons of Electrum and Tier 2 Gem Ring ever since 1.19 because they are the fastest to spiritbond >_>

ROFL@myself. Thanks! The tiny section in red slipped my notice.

If you don't mind me asking, do they produce Rank 4 materia? And do they produce good ones?

I unfortunately chose CRP for my craft, which doesn't give me very many options for spiritbond items (main hand... yay) but am sort of also leveling GSM and it would be nice to be able to craft something I could turn into materia IV's.
