Ah, masochists.

Seeing my char actually get EXP for crafts is priceless. Seeing me have a measure of control over my synths is amazing.

The boring grind not-so-much, but making a weapon that was several levels above my own, which was a tough battle in and of itself, was about one of the most rewarding experiences I've had while crafting. It was enough to allow me to continue to push forward.
