RE: How do you feel about crafting? - Chance - 08-20-2013

I am so glad I'm not the only one who gets the whole feeling of triumph when clearing a section of the crafting log. I'm not a full time crafter main or anything, but the sound of the hammering and other noises around the forge makes me feel like I have stepped into my character's shoes and am currently living his life.

To be honest this game is the closest I have felt to virtual reality, and because of that I have a much easier time roleplaying my character. Now if only I could control what my character did during main scenario cut scenes Tongue.

I haven't tried my hand at crafting in XIV yet, but I'm eager to give it a shot. It looks fun; similar to EQ2's crafting, which is my favorite crafting system ever.

I just hope carpenters can make furniture. Having a player home that I can be proud of is currently my ultimate end-game goal.

I usually hate crafting & gathering in MMOs. I've found gathering in ARR to be an addictive distraction, though crafting I'm still on the fence about.

I don't mind the system itself, and I really like the animations. It just irks me that I seem to need to know several other crafts in order to advance the one that I want.

That said, I didn't dabble all that much into it, so I'll probably give it another look someone once the servers are up again.
