Thread: 5.1 Crafting Feedback Thread

Figured a thread like this is more appropriate. How do you guys like the new 5.1 changes to endgame crafting?

Me personally, I hardly found a difference in difficulty when making Facet crafting gear.

You do not need HQ mats to HQ the endgame Facet crafting gear. At all. You can easily HQ it with all NQ mats.

Let me quote Yoshida real quick:

Q. From what i've heard so far, it seems like the "high end recipes" won't be craftable with macros

Y: The normal recipes will be craftable if you set them up properly, but the difficult recipes will require you to use the actions with procs properly when they show up and we'd like to design it where you have to actually observe the current situation.

Q. The current crafting system allows you to ignore HQ mats and use macros to craft HQ items.

Y: I thought that part was broken, so DoL/DoH will have overall adjustments. It will change entirely and new crafters and gatherers can instantly understand what to do and what does what.

Yet, they are still easy and a joke? Whaaaaat, this is actually laughable now, rather than worrisome haha.

Aren’t you the guy who told someone with the same opinion that they are a “waste of oxygen”? I’m surprised you aren’t banned for that, lol.

For the record - I don't think these are the 'difficult' recipes in question.

From the way it sounds, the "Difficult" stuff is going to be in the ranking system in Ishgard, and wasn't going to arrive until the rework is complete, which they stated to be in 5.2, when the rankings start in earnest.

Well, if that’s true, it should be coming out in February or January I assume. Also, I’m sure Yoshida knows this by now but, if the rewards for completing these recipes are underwhelming or not worth anyone’s time, hardcore players will not do it. (myself included) So hopefully, it’s something like high end tools/ gear locked behind difficult recipes. Because a shiny Title that says “congrats for being number one” and a tool glamour that nobody will use is quite lackluster. If it was like, some super lewd glamour wearable for both genders, then yeah I can see some folks doing it lol. But obviously tools and gear are preferred.

I’m glad the casual players are enjoying the changes though, they have nothing to worry about pretty much. Just wish Yoshida clarified a little more on the difficult recipes...l

I love it personally. Great that they rolled the new macros out already, but also that it's way less of a pain since you don't need to worry so much about overlapping buffs. The new 100% trained eye makes crafting levekits and sub materials a ton more convenient. Great direction for them to go in

I personally think they should of kept careful synthesis 3 ,steady hand 2, comfort zone!!

It was so much easier ! You got people who can't do the new rotations! I for one got so use to the old rotations! I'm not sure if I want to continue to play ! Since it changes almost every time I turn around!
