Crafting in General - OMG Fix It

[Colt47]

The problem with the crafting system is that it's issues are so vast that it's difficult to even list them all. I've already stated my thoughts on the current system over in the thread involving the whole auto-leveler idea, but yeah the system is also exceptionally random with results, which from observation seems to be pretty much frustrating people who managed to get past the rough start and entered the deeper end of the whole crafting pool.

Today I decided I need to start collecting buffalo skins to make the final stretch on leathercraft. So for the time being, the focus of all local leves, for me, has shifted from SP to reward.

To further demonstrate just how broken this system is, I took an R1 leve from Ul Dah, sheepskin workboots - only doing the 4 requred items, and I failed the first 3 attempts on the first synth, going (progress/durability hit) 3/15 4/15 5/15. I failed the first attempts on all 4, and one the first two attempts, with multiple fails on every synth.

My god, this is an R1 leve and my leathercraft is R45. This is just so broken. ><
