The only point to level a craft is for repairs, and that's it. Not even materia, because dropped and tome gear does NOT use it. There is literally no other reason to bother leveling a craft.
That's, pardon the French, fucking BULLSHIT. I have zero incentive to level a craft other than for the sake of leveling it. Nothing I can make with a craft will ever stand muster against that ridiculous tome gear. It pisses me right the fuck off, and I hope they fix that shit, because it ain't right.
Yeah, it is boiling down to the same problem Late WoW had in which the only truly valuable craft was... Alchemy. Early WoW, at least, integrated crafted items and boss-drop recipes into the mixture. Maybe if FFXIV makes gateway PVP-gear attainable by crafting, it'll work out. Other than that, the only real avenue for crafting (outside of potions and repairs) will be Housing.
