Crafting Stats: Requesting confirmation on stats

[Sabaku_Usagi]

From one of the wiki's it says crafting stats affect: "Increases the success of synthesizing high quality items"

What i'm seeking is an official description of what is affected by adding these stats to the specific job with the specific tool.

I'm inclined to think it affects quality, (And not making the recipe simpler) as some have argued against me. I'm just looking for an answer if someone could help me out.

[AlaulaTheGreat]

I think, depending on your tool, it just affects quality. But could be wrong.

But I remember word of SE adding requirements later on certain gear only being able to be built when we reach a certain thresh-hold of stats.

[Sabaku_Usagi]

Yea, i'm looking for an official statement... I'm pretty sure that's what it is but I want to settle a stupid argument.

[Estellios]

This is old but it confirms that stuff. It's also obvious what stats a crafting class uses because the Golden tools boost those specific stats. It's worth it to get gear/materia with some of these stats on your crafting class cause the boost in Quality will help your XP.

As you probably saw, Triairy made a large follow-up to the questions being asked in the thread (and in the reports we sent over!).

Attributes for Disciples of the Hand will increase the resulting product's quality.

tyvm, i couldn't find the english version of the dev post.

[Meleena]

Any chance that we could learn what the rest of the stats affect?

Craftsmanship
M. Craftmanship
Control

[Sephrick]

Any chance that we could learn what the rest of the stats affect?

Craftsmanship
M. Craftmanship
Control

From memory:

Craftsmanship = Success for physical recipes.
Magic Craftsmanship = Success for magic recipes.
(Not much info out there on how to tell which is which though)

Control = Reduction in chance of unstable elements.

[Meleena]

So now control is useless (almost)
And we still have no idea on which stat we should stack for a recipe...

[Estellios]

Control also makes it take longer for sparks to appear, which tank your success rate and make you lose more durability if you fail. Sparks seem to appear much sooner now, compared to before when i barely ever saw them.

Also you can mouseover the stats in-game now if you have popup help on, they say what Sephrick said.
