Non-Flame crafters getting burned

[KumaAkuma]

I actually found it balanced that Uldah got a decent crafting piece this time. If you look at the current lv25 company gear for crafting, Uldah's gear just sucks compared to the other cities...

Accept Yoshida said not to pick based on what class the city seemed to support or what items a GC gave because it wouldn't matter in coming patches. Had I known such quality items were coming to Ul'dah I'd have stayed there.

It'd be different if we could switch companies.

Because Yoshida look for long term, not just as short term.

For now, Uldah is best for crafter, then what about next patch? Limsa might get better crafters gear than Uldah, so this make thing balance overall, and also which is why I said they are just for temporary. One company shouldn't be best at specific classes all the time, but should rotate around. Making all GC give the same item = boring too!

I believe the Uldah is for all class as the lvl 25 top (cant check anymore since I join the Serpent)

the Lominsan doublet +20 crafmanship only for BSM,ARM,CRP,MIN;BTN;FSH
The Gridanian something +15 only for CUL,ALC,WVR,LTW

none class restrict > class restrict

edit: also you can buy the Lominsan Doublet and the Gridanian something before join companies so nothing to complain there, just 3 times dungeon quest should be more than enough seal for those 2

on the other hands when GC first update the GC of 3 city have : slops pants +12

and with this new update, only uldah have a +18 pants and it is for all class while the slops is class restrict

Basically with Uldah you can be cheap and get one set with weaker stats instead of two sets, but the whole point of this thread is to optimize gear for crafting, making this set the worst set out there.

You have to stretch your disbelief a tiny bit, hell in XI I ran around Bastok and Sandoria with my Windurst Aketon doing missions for the King of Sandoria with my windy aketon (And signet staff) got a good chuckle out of me. As long as the cost associated with obtaining this gear is ramped up respectably I don't see any issues.

Hell give some a few NPC's dialogue to harass you when you talk to them wearing other company issued gear, that would be hillarious and amazing at the same time.

agreeing with this

seems like every GC got some nice new items, i wish i could have them all but i cant. Oh well. One way to keep every player in the game from looking the same is to limit who can have what.

Thanks, Rukkirii! Hope we don't seem too whiny on your end. Just trying to create a discussion to figure out some design choices. Though, civil discussion isn't always the easiest thing to accomplish here.

Seems pretty whiny to me...

[FlynnRider]

It isn't fair, straight up. I may have screwed up and not got the gear I need now, when I had the chance then, but now I'm regretting it. The option to spend Company Seals in other cities needs to be available, no matter the consequences.

It's not whiny to discuss facts. But thank you for your irrelevant contribution.

Sameness is boring. Variety is good.

Is there nothing in your GC that you want? That's better than your other GC?
