ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[mbncd]

i personally believe the buying power is drastically going to change in 2.0, but the gil change is going to have alot less to do with it than other changes going into the game are.

the biggest issue that's going to affect your buying power will be the crafting changes. to say you can't craft a recipe until you get the recipe for it is going to drastically affect the prices of every item in the wards.

let's look at an example.
Darksteel Huebergeon
Garlean Steel Plate
Darksteel Ingot
Hippogryph Leather
Undyed Felt
Darksteel Nugget

that's 5 items and you are going to have to wait until 5 people get lucky and get those recipes to be able to craft those items. that's just to be able to get the materials to make them. now you then have to wait until someone gets the recipe in their book to be able to make that single piece of gear. the first person that gets that recipe for any part of that synth can sell those items for whatever they want and you can either pay them or not get the gear you are after.

the biggest advice is anything you know you will be needing come 2.0 you better stock up on now because when 2.0 comes out just with the crafting changes it may be a long time until it makes it into the wards and then even longer before they become affordable.

I would expect that most recipe book entries would be based on level. For instance, if you get level 10, all recipes of that class up to level 15 or 20 automatically unlock. The only exceptions would be super rare things as a result of quest rewards or the like but I don't think anything we can make freely now will later be restricted by that. That's just a theory mind you but I'm pretty confident in it.

i actually hope you are correct, but seeing the response to the question that rein translated has me more worried. they mentioned questing and adding recipes you are given to your book. it worries my you may have to do like a quest to make gloves as weavers and can't make any type of gloves at all until they complete it. that or you will get recipes from leve completions like we did originally and then everyone would be spamming leves hoping to be the first to get that one good new recipe. if it's like leves are now you may do 1000 leves and never get any single recipe you actually want to use.
