Today's patch 2.2 preview offers a look at the new challenges awaiting Eorzea's crafters and gatherers. 

 

New Crafting Recipes

Patch 2.2 will introduce a host of new recipes for crafters of all skill levels, including both traditional recipes and new recipes which will test even the talents of the most accomplished artisans.

 

 

 

Master Recipe Books

Among the new recipes introduced with patch 2.2, a special set of recipes for each class may be learned only from master recipe books. Comprehensible only to level 50 crafters, the recipes held within will demand much and more of Eorzea's veteran artisans.

 

New Crafting Facilities

Players will have access to crafting facilities in their estates. With eight types in total, these facilities can be used by crafters level 40 or below to increase their CP for a fixed period of time.

New Crafting Tools

After completing the quest "Just Tooling Around," players can speak with Talan in Revenant's Toll (X:22, Y:6) to receive a new main hand tool in exchange for goods crafted or materials gathered.

 

New Gathering Points

Miners and botanists foraging for raw materials will find new resources for the taking in the following areas:

 

Miner

Level 50 Quarrying

Western Thanalan - Nophica's Well

Unspoiled Mineral Deposit

Lower La Noscea/Central Thanalan/Northern Thanalan

Unspoiled Rocky Outcrop

Middle La Noscea/Western Thanalan/South Shroud

 

Botanist

Unspoiled Mature Tree

Middle La Noscea/Upper La Noscea/North Shroud

Unspoiled Lush Vegetation Patch

Western La Noscea/Lower La Noscea/Central Shroud

 

Big Fishing

Fishers of surpassing skill can try their hand at reeling in impressive denizens of the deep once thought to be mere legend, earning an array of achievements in the process. Do you have what it takes to stake your claim as one of Eorzea's master anglers?

Thanks for posting!   This will make my wife extremely happy as she loves the crafting and gathering.

I'm... well I'm not a crafter or a gatherer so perhaps this is why I'm just "meh' but those outfit crafted recipes / vanity items just look... "meh"

 

I wonder why some of the stuff is geared to lvl 40 under though.
