Alla Dev. Interview

[Gwynplaine]

It seems like they still need to transcribe it and place it on their site. They went over the general questions they asked in a podcast though so here's rough cliffnotes until the real thing is posted:

*There were 3 jobs that were experimented with that didn't become actual jobs. Viking, Mimic, and some unnamed job that eventually became Dancer.

*Einherjar being considered for further changes. No changes to drop rates, although the system to access chambers would change.

*Possibly a way to store rare/ex items eventually.

*They are working on raising the max level of crafting(?). May be able to create a "store" in your mog house and invite people in to browse your items And something about applying higher HQ's to other crafts. Don't take all this too literally, the way they mentioned some of it was confusing.

*Some other inane bunk about Almighty Apkallu.

[Thistle]

*They are working on raising the max level of crafting(?).

-.-

I'm done! Leave me alone! No raising it! Arg!

[Chastiti]

Yeah, I read the crafting bit about five times, sighed and contemplated banging my head on my desk. - -

[Toxictaru]

You'd think SE would get the clue and make crafting worth it again. As it stands, there is like, no point in taking something to 100 these days for anything other than saying "look what I did".

Why would I want to suffer through MORE levels of blowing money and begging for a fucking skillup?

/sigh i feel ya bro having 3 100+3 crafts will be kinda moot if they do that...... Just more gil i need to pour into smithing after spending 70m and making a total 5m profit after price drops.... And we all know that prices of synth mats for higher lvl synths would be insane so ya..........

[GentaroX]

Why would I want to suffer through MORE levels of blowing money and begging for a fucking skillup?

To be able to say "Hey,i'm cooking 120,i'm cool"
I stopped Clothcraft @88 because its not worth it,IF they make crafting more worth it...

[Lucavi]

Pride. People do stupid shit as it is just to be able to say "I did it!". Crafting is/will be no different.

[Not Kuno]

Would mean HQ items become more common.

Which would mean they drop in price.

So crafters would have even LESS money.

Unless you can HQ the new amazing t0 synths.

lmao

On serious note being that they're raising the cap for crafting it's like what was said earlier they may add new HQs or recipes. One off the top of my head Vulcan Ring.

You're so much better at thinking up ridiculous synths than I am. Maybe because you actually craft >.>

[Theytak]

what was said about the HQs and crafting:
(paraphrasing, as it was reported via podcast)

currently there are synths in goldsmithing that allow you to use HQ items, but the other crafts don't allow you to use HQs, wouldn't it make sense to be able to use HQ items to make Higher Quality HQ items?

i'd have to listen to it again to get it perfectly, but you can download it from alla, basically they talk to a few people, who give shout outs, etc(one of whom refuses because "eww, its alla") then talk about their dev interview, then interview some more people, and end the pod cast, its about 20 minutes long

[Vail]

like level drg?

Would you be proud of that?

[Conrad]

Also; give me my Viking, goddammit.

[souleman]

I'd say "raising crafting" probably isn't going to allow you go go over 100(+3). More likely, it will be something like 80 points over 60, instead of only 40. Allowing 1 char to have 2 level 100 crafts, or something like that. Meaning multi-craft synths will be easier to HQ, and adding new ones.
