It is live!

[Bonbori]

Changes to crafting.

Increasing ease of entry for new players.
Adjustments to more complex systems and actions.
Extra actions will be adjusted/removed.

As for gathering.

Unspoiled nodes will appear without the use of skills. (If i understood correctly.)
Gathering rates and amounts will be adjusted.
Quick gathering will be added.
"Out of reach" is getting removed.

In conclusion they give the finger to dedicated crafters/gatherers.

In... what way? As a dedicated crafter (you can tell by the fact I have melded the maximum possible amount of CP in accordance with a build provided by other people who are better than me at math), all I see are positive QoL changes that might slightly shorten my dedicated super elite pro high-skill crafter macros that I dedicatedly run in the background while watching youtube. And make gathering the hundreds of mats I need and the crystals I'm always short on take slightly less time. Oh, and you forgot to mention a new feature that will let us see multi-level recipe breakdowns without having to use a third party site. At long last.

Oh nooooo... Crafting is doooooooomed... It will become a bit more accessible, attractive and maybe even fun to all the... - ugh! - undedicated plebeians! Scandalous! Unthinkable!
