Thread: 5.1 Crafting Feedback Thread

Impressions so far (might change, we'll see):

-Hasty Touch and Rapid Synth deserve a buff to 80%. They're rubbish. If they're a key part of our "proc based" Ishgard crafts I won't be happy.
-The streamlining makes sense, they trimmed the unnecessary bulk down well.
-Reclaim gone is good, the Reuse loop was silly, but that again means I hope we don't see high-rng crafts down the line.
-Nice buff to Trained Eye.
-Love the quick synth buff.
-Love the buff to Weaver threads/yarn.
-Our CP is trimmed a little. That's a good thing, it was getting silly.
-

"I have my crafters leveled but I have no idea what I'm doing, can someone just give me a macro?" is the kind of gameplay and line of thinking that they wanted to remove from crafting.

This one baffles me. If that's their intention I've never seen anything fail so entirely. Macros are definitely buffed. Lower step count and guaranteed no-rng results. Discords are full of "does anyone have the new 5.1 macros yet?" and indeed we had them day 1.
-Delicate synth is still way too good.
-The new Innovation seems very strong.
-As someone who isn't the biggest fan of specialists, even I think they went overboard on gutting them.

-The biggest one for me however is that this patch gives lv80 crafters literally nothing until Ishgard. You don't really need the crafter set right now, you can make it day 1 anyway and all that's left after that is a glam and a small handful of Hades items. After day 1 we're basically back to exactly the same as 5.05, gil machines who spam Facet gear to flood the markets and earn peanuts. That's all we have. Pretty much everything is riding on Ishgard being successful and giving a solid path of progression now.
It's great for new crafters because 1-80 is their path of progression and I'm happy if they're enjoying that.

/hotbar copy ALC 1 CRP 1

Handy to know, cheers
