crafting gear ILFollow

you think SE will ever riase the crafting level cap or bringout higher level IL crafting gear? honestly thats the one thing I hope they never change especially with all that gil put into melding materia to the current gear it would suck to see that all go to waste just to have to do it again on a new set of gear... if they do anything I hope they only keep coming out with new recipes, headgear and primary tools only

i doubt theyll increases crafting level cap i mean FFXI eventually raised job level but crafting levels always stayed the same, and since crafting isnt a "huge focus" in this game (supposedly) that gives me more reason to believe they wouldnt or shouldnt raise the cap.

also on the subject of level cap increases do you think theyll increases the level caps for ANYTHING at all? I mean I honestly dont see a point when your gear "levels up" i.e il70 il90 il100 il110 etc etc, theres really no point in a level cap increases when gear works that way (which wasnt the case in FFXI until AFTER the final level cap was raised hit i.e lvl 100), rather redundant to raise the level cap when gear at 50 already makes you far stronger than someone who just hit 50 in their AF gear despite the fact that youre the same level

Good point...

I suspect that when they do, one of two things will happen:

1. They'll adjust the star system, so that current starred items will no longer be started, and new items will be added that are 1-3 stars
or
2. They'll add something else beside stars to indicate the new "very tough" recipes. Hearts? Spades?

They could just add MORE stars, but they'll start to run out of real estate and it can get kind of confusing since they're only a visual representative. Maybe four star items, but not five or six.
