New Recipes for Useless Items

Regarding: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...unflower-seeds

It is now Heavensward 3.3 and there is still no use for Sunflower Seeds or Red Megalocrab Shells.
Some good suggestions were made on that thread, but let me go into further detail on them here, and how else better than with pretty pictures?

New CUL recipe idea



Reasoning: The current lowest level gathering food is Mutton Stew (Lv.9). Meanwhile, the current lowest level crafting food is Frumenty (Lv.4). Gatherers have to wait an extra 5 levels compared to crafters before they can make use of food that gives a benefit for their profession.

Modifications: The item name could be changed to Salted/Glazed Sunflower Seeds. The craft level could be 3-5. The description is just placeholder I thought up on the spot, so that could definitely be changed. The effect could be changed to Gathering or Perception. Honey could be added as an additional ingredient.

I'd also like to bring up that you can only get NQ Sunflower Seeds from Tanie in New Gridania, even though when you search for them it searches for a HQ version as well, despite them not even being obtainable. How about making Sunflower Seeds obtainable by botanists from low level bushes? That would allow players to get HQ versions.

As for the Red Megalocrab Shells... maybe just create alternate versions of the Crab Bow, Crabshell Hora and Wolf Bow so that in place of the green shells it has red shells. It might be a good idea to add (Green) or (Red) to the end of the item's name as well to clarify.
