As much as I love crafting it needs to stay away from the relic. Crafters are far too greedy for it to be part of something like that.
My issue with that part of the Relic was twofold : Materials should not have been locked away in Diadem, and the recipes should not have been locked away behind Specialists.

The Specialist restriction was one reason the prices on those things were so high at the time - a lack of competition. The Diadem materials source was another reason they were so pricey - though it was more justified in this case, especially after Diadem died down for gathering and fishing.

As long as the materials are available in the main world (even if its from a 4 star gathering node) and the recipes are available to all crafters, I have no problem with having part of the next Relic steps involving crafting.
