    Don't Spoil Class Quest Crafts

    I really enjoy doing the DoH class quests, as well as wondering what item I'll be required to make next. However, with the way it currently is, the crafting log shows you exactly what items you'll need to make for your Stormblood class quests. Knowing what items you'll be required to craft ahead of time takes away the surprise and fun of learning what they are for yourself when the time comes to make them, and even spoils the conclusion to some class quests in their descriptions.

    I would like to propose that the Class Quests items in the Crafting Log be kept a secret until the time comes to make them to avoid such spoilers.

    But arn't the current class quest items not just simple items you could craft before even trying the quests, like simple potions, gear or other stuff everyone could craft to just use it?
    This would exclude the ability to craft this items before you have reached the quest to unlock them.

    I would prefer it if they would create special recipes just for the class quests, like with fisher in SB you only catch special class quest fishes, who are only available during the quest and not tradeable in any way.

    The Stormblood crafts and MIN/FSH were given the same treatment. You are now required to actually craft or gather the item as they are untradeable unique items.

    I don't mind being able to see what the item that is needed for, say, the level 68 CUL quest is ahead of time.

    Its a CUL quest, we know its going to be some kind of food, but what we don't know until the quest is what the actual story part told by that quest is going to be.

    The same could be said for every crafting class.
    BSM obviously makes weapons, ARM obviously makes armor, WVR obviously makes clothes, ALC obviously makes potions.
    Just because you know what the crafting class can make doesn't mean we should be able to see what we need to make ahead of time.

    Most of them are just bundle icons with names. Until you see them in the class cut scenes they don't really mean much.

    Only 4 of the 32 class quest icons are "bundle" icons, such as boxes. That's not even close to "most" of them.

    Also, that's not the point. The point is that the icons and item names alone are enough to spoil almost exactly how the story is going to play out, and the descriptions too in some cases.
    Look at the Lv.70 GSM Class Quest item and tell me that doesn't spoil how you're going to repay the Sultana, which you wouldn't have figured out yourself until the Lv.68 quest cutscene.
