Crafting Idea: Assembly Line Party with Chain Bonuses

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

I think it would be cool if you could join a party of crafters and the game would look at the mats in everyone's inventory instead of just your own, and you could make things as long as the party collectively had the materials.

In exchange for potentially leeching off of someone else's materials, you get a big exp bonus. Could set up an algorithm to reward more exp based on the number of mats being used by other players, so in order to get the highest bonus, everyone would have to have all the mats for the recipe you're making. If someone is missing one of the mats, then they would get less exp for not contributing to the group.

This would also make it easier to have someone craft gear for you because it cuts out the step of actually trading the items.

To make it safe, you could have a toggle similar to repair request, that lets you decide if you want to 'share' your materials or not.

This would also allow DoL and DoH to team up together easier. If the DoH has no materials but the DoL has a bunch, they can join party and share materials, and the crafter will be able to get exp from making the items and the DoL can get a percentage of the exp from each synth since they provided the materials.

I like your idea for organizing shared materials. Put all of this together, and I think crafting would definitely rival fighting.
