Thread: 4.05 crafting disappointment

As an alchemist main as far as crafting is concerned (no other crafter is even 50), I'm disappointed by the lack of new orchestrion rolls and housing items in the new Master Book. Not even a single one... Five reagents (which are only materials for other things, really) and two pieces of gear. That's underwhelming. I don't know how other crafting classes compare, but they typically have more stuff to craft than this.

3.4 was pretty much the same thing =/

Just be sure what kind of difficulty you want because with the current system the only way of making it "interesting" is by forcing RNG or/and by removing Omni-crafter gear (outside leveling gear) and forcing HQ materials in order to HQ anything. I said this a lot of times, crafting is a math problem once you know the formula is a piece of cake, you can spice with RNG for sure, but no everyone enjoy that.

Also, the vibe I got from this and similars is more in the line: I don't like that crafting is so accessible now, but perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway, this exclusivity will come later on for sure.

Note: I have to add that so far SE has put less effort in skins this expansion, leveling gear for DoH/DoL doesn't have unique skins for example.

I expected this the moment I saw how easy Stormblood crafting is. The devs don't want it to be such a daunting task for newer crafters to dabble with. Back with Heavensward, you had to overmeld for the crafted gear to come even remotely close. That turned many people away, especially since materia are so damn expensive. Which brings me to what I'm far more annoyed by: the lack of means to acquire Grade VI materia. Battle jobs are practically gift wrapped theirs yet we have to go through the boring grind of mass production, then pray RNG doesn't hate us. Either make Spiritbonding less tedious or let us acquire materia some other way-- perhaps via the currently worthless Yellow Scrips.
