So why are the crafter relics.. bad.

[DixieBellOCE]

I mean... did you read the part where the crafting relic improves the effectiveness of good quality procs? Or the part where the gathering relics increase the likelihood of a collectability boost happening? Because I feel like you have a bad tendency to stamp and shout and rage for nothing.

At worst, it's a sidegrade. You lose a bit of raw stat total for a nifty effect that's situationally useful. Besides, if the Crystalline Tools follow the same path as the Resplendent Tools, there will be one more upgrade.

Who sits there and individually crafts each step with the hope that 'good quality' comes up during the quality part of the craft, which will save ONE STEP of the entire manual craft, when you can just press a macro and do something else for the 30-45 seconds the craft takes.

For macro crafting, its a complete downgrade, and if you are manually craafting, you already putting yourself at such a stupid disadvantage to other crafters.

On the note of GATHERING relics, completely off the topic of the CRAFTER relics which the thread is about, they are honestly fine, if you are somebody who does collectables they are actually worth using.
