to those that say the new crafting is op, we should be getting rewards for all the work u have to do to get the parts. but however in some semblance of balance, only alchemal weapons can be made, unlike gs having both weapons and accessories. alchemal crafting, while perhaps being new best dps crafting, cant replace gs and epic accessories, because simply, alchemal accessory crafting doesnt exist. there r some threads that say how epic crafting will be totally overtaken by the new crafting system, as well as many epic runs die out. for weapons, yeah maybe 2 epic weapons id care about at this point, simply for use in epics. however when it comes to all other gear, epic and gs r still only(and best option).
