Reduction of time needed to complete a craft action

Finally, WHY WHY, WHY are the base materials for certain items at a higher crafting level than the item they combine to make. Of all the tings wrong with the crafting system this is the most discouraging.

Eh, this actually makes perfect sense. By requiring you to be a higher rank for the parts than the final product, they're helping you succeed in the final synthesis.

It may be a little frustrating sometimes, but it's not nearly as frustrating as blowing up that same synth if it has rarer mats or is just generally a pain to make due to the number of synths required (hi2u haubys).
