    What aboutn two types of crafting?

    Crafting can be divided into two parts: high end gear and related items vs all the rest (housing, standard gear, standard glamour).

    What if we had two paths of specialization for crating - the demimateria around high end crafting and "workshop" around other crafts?

    Demimateria crafting could require personal preparation via non-tradable means - spiritbonding things / getting personal demimateria etc. There are also "pink" generic items in the game that could be treated more uniquely and with extra value - like to craft a 595-600 ring on release you would need your spiritbound pink ring + demimateria and stuff + crafter gear with optimal stats? Or more streamlined - use spiritbound/demimateria/things on your own sphere scrolls that would contain "power" used in such high end crafting?

    The "workshop" path could be based around getting your workshop bigger with more and more tools. You have your workshop in the guild of the job or at your house (those workstations that increase CP right now) and you could work on growing your workshop - by getting "tools" for given expansion range of crafts, "spare parts" as currency and so on. Plus wider use of custom components like those dropped by (old) instances?. Something not related to your main/off tool a crafter job uses. And things like those Skysteel tools we got in SHB could be related to this - giving some powerlevel to your workshop, more for like HW crafts and so on. With good enough workshop you could pre-plan/manage craft chains, mats collecting etc.

    So savage dropped super hard recipes would be under one category, while more accessible and lower ilvl gear under the other, alongside housing and alike which then could be expanded (especially visually, previews etc.)
