Can the Dev explain the diffetences between Craftmanship & Magic Cft.?

[MonsieurVerde]

You are quoting OLD code/help, there have been many patches that changed how this worked.

About the stats, yes they play a role, but very minimally. I have tested this extensively and found that keeping my all my stats at minimum 80, keeps me just fine with almost every job, yes I once had 140 INT for alchemy and I get same success rates as having 80, so its not like going WAY above will help, but maybe having 10 INT might hurt you, I have not tested that part of it.

To keep crafting simple, please refer to my first post.

Control > Craftsmanship > magic craftsmanship

Try to keep the best clothing you can that gets ALL those stats in there, the coatee's and other items with no control but a lot of craftsmanship are not as good as they appear to be. Always equip the best tool (giving the most stats, control being most important) And you will have the highest success rates you can.

Hope this helps anyone who is confused about crafting.

Attributes play a role in how much quality you gain based on the tool you are using, nothing more. Moon phase has no effect on crafting, never did. Magic Craftsmanship works like craftsmanship for the recipes that use it, this has not changed and is in accordance with what SE said. Control affects aetherial sparking, nothing more. You would benefit from Short Gloves over Half Gloves if the recipe uses Craftsmanship. Unless you are already at a wall. Control is pointless unless you are going for a High Quality since if you are even trying to do that you will have a high level tool and a high level which means you won't need bonus craft/m craft.

@Jinko, no recipe requires a base amount of any physical attribute. Some require a certain amount of Craft/M.craft if you don't want to watch your stuff blow up or progress slowly.
