So there's been off and on talk of equipment effecting crafting, the obvious guild items, cooking Katana, etc. There's also been some talk of elemental staves having a factor in crafting, I personally don't know, but I do toss the proper staff on that corralates with the element I am trying to boost/hurt (wind staff for skilling on a wind crystal, Ice staff when trying to HQ with a wind crystal).
The point I getting to: the elemental Sea Obis. The text reads, "Gain Full Benefit of Iceday/Ice Weather Bonuses." Could this play into crafting? I know that the main purpuose of these obis is for BLM's and nuking, but is this another possible option? It seems too specialized for an "all jobs" kinda thing. Why don't they say "spells" when the gorgets say "weapon skills?"
I'm a BLM, so I'm going to have some of these obis, and I have most of the staves (no lolearth or lolwater). I'm also a 62 bonecrafter, and I don't really have much experience trying to break tier 0 HQs or anything like that, I'm just getting by skilling up at the moment. I'm also poor, so I can't fund or try any tests to the extent I wish to.
This is all one of those brain-storm-shock Ideas, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience/ideas going along with this.
