QoL: Maker's Mark?

[Sollux]

With the current increase rate of minimum stats require for each starred recipe it is literally impossible to reach theoretical 4-Star minimums with current gear, even with max overmelded i170 gear. This means that they HAVE to release a new set before 4-Star recipes are released. Given these facts, it's safe to assume that the recipes being released in 3.3 will be 3-Star and the absolute earliest we will see 4-Star recipes is in 3.4 (or a 3.35 Relic update). We have plenty of time to dread the amount of steps a 4-Star Craft will take (A couple months at least), but I'll bet we can cut out Maker's Mark and still have a reliable rotation given enough stats.

That being said, the thing I appreciate most about Maker's Mark + Piece by Piece is the fact that they scale with difficulty making Progress much easier to guarantee regardless of recipe difficulty, even if it takes a little longer.

Given these facts, it's safe to assume that the recipes being released in 3.3 will be 3-Star and the absolute earliest we will see 4-Star recipes is in 3.4 (or a 3.35 Relic update).

Another fact to consider is that an increase in recipe difficulty has always been accompanied with an increase in item level/new tomestone.

2.0 started off with 1 and 2-star recipes
2.2 [soldiery tomes, second coil] introduced 3-star recipes
2.4 [poetic tomes, final coil] introduced 4-star recipes

3.0 started off with 1-star recipes, with 2-star recipes being added in 3.05
3.2 [esoteric tomes, midas] introduced 3-star recipes.

Looking at the way SE has handled the introduction of crafting recipes, it's fairly safe to say that 3.4 will bring 4-star recipes, with 3.3 bringing in more 3-star recipes.
We'll have another 4-5 months before the increased amount of Maker's Mark stacks

I personally don't have much of an issue with the amount of stacks, but I can see how it can become more of a timesink in 3.4, for crafters who make more stuff than I do.

I look forward to it honestly.

Yeah, it takes forever, but man those whistle while you work stacks are going to be chewed through quick with so much makers mark. <3
