[Suggestion] Displaying required crafting stat on recipes, and optimal stats required

[Reika]

As we all know, there are certain recipes that require Craftsmanship, and others that require Mg. Craftsmanship. This is a multi-suggestion really.

1. Display the crafting stat the recipe uses on the recipe, so we know if we are wearing the right gear for the task

2. When the recipe details open, display a warning "This recipe would benefit from higher craftsmanship/Mg. Craftsmanship." or something like that.

Either of those will work.

Another Suggestion is to combat an issue. As some of us know and have tested, These crafting stats actually have little effect on your actual success chances. It is really your rank vs recipe rank that is the major determiner. My suggestion is this:

Make recipes have an optimal stat level to have more effect than the optimal rank. The Optimal rank can still be used to determine how much SP you get from the recipe vs your own rank, however, the actual stats the recipe requires vs your stats make the major determination on success, quality, and progress gains.

I had assumed this fell onto the player to figure out for themselves? But then again, it seems somewhat difficult to determine...

I had thought the same, but it seems crafting itself is much too random at the moment to reach solid conclusions without a massive amount of data. I asked on the YG forums about this, but due to the way stats are stored, we won't be seeing this information in the YG database any time soon.

You'd assume that, but they tell you your alchemy isn't high enough to synth a blacksmith recipe, so why not this?

Good idea? bad Idea?

I like #2 better. Still leaves something for players to figure out but makes it reasonably possible to figure it out.

It is really your rank vs recipe rank that is the major determiner.

THIS is how the whole game works right now. Your Rank in any class is the only factor that effects anything to a degree where its noticable. Equip doesn't have much of an effect(except for weapons). Stats don't have much of an effect. Just anything besides the actual Rank doesn't have much of an effect and that's whats broken the most right now. Cause if my Rank is the only thing that matters, then why bother with anything else at all?

Great idea, I would also like to see recipes with a suggested/optimal crafting rank.
