Crafting in this game is infuriating

[Caimie_Tsukino]

This thread is confusing the hell of me, you're a fully leveled omnicrafter and gatherer. The hard part is behind you. I don't get why you waited until you got this far to complain about crafting being some kind of scam. I literally don't get what you're referring to exactly, but I'd assume you're not happy about having to buy master crafting books with scrips, and then also that you have to buy the mats to craft your gear or something? Or is it that the game doesn't tell you crafting rotations for HQing top tiered gear or something? Because the game does nudge you in the correct way all the way through but it doesn't hold your hand, especially not for something as competitive as crafting can be.

This is exactly it. The OP have spent 2 pages on the forum complaining on things that are not well-defined. I don't even know what he/she was referring to, so I can't put up a response, LOL!

Plus, like you said, he/she has already reached endgame before this complaint. So if he/she has been doing something wrong, it's probably too late to remedy anyway. If it's not fun, then why level everything to 70 in the first place? LOL! I guess some people just like to torture themselves?

I was going to refer him/her to my crafting guide. But the more I read, the more I think it won't be of any help to him/her at all...

Speaking of which, I expect you to have it fully updated by tomorrow morning!

Bah... When I saw those changes, I was like "Damn, all those previously documented things have to change now... tough work."

Anyway, I'll be on a business trip to mainland China from 7/7/19 to 20/7/19. So I won't have access to the game anyway... which is really sad.
Seems like my time in China would be a nice time to just update the old guides. But I do wanna EXPERIENCE the changes first hand before making changes to the guides, so I know exactly what impact the changes will make. Well, I do have about 1 week to play before the trip. Sadly, I have some important events with my job during that week as well, which means I can only play at late night before bed.

I think by the time I get back, everybody will be all-80 DoH already... Luckily, I'm rather loaded, so it's ok to miss the express train of gil in the first few weeks.

If you are going to Shenzhen you can probably get game access, but might be slow over a VPN. Shanghai etc.. not so much. Hong Kong is obviously no problem, except some connections are slow. From what I have seen, South Korea and Taiwan have the best connections, but that won't help you much.

Really looking forward to your updated guides...your guides have helped me so much over the years.
