Is crafting worth getting into?

[Velad]

Should I be crafting my weapons and units or am I better off just getting them from dungeon drops?

[ReverseSeraf]

It really depends on what you're crafting and how you plan on using it

well. let me try to make this as simple as possible.....(〃￣ω￣〃ゞ

Craft weaps/unit of rarity 9* or bellow is fine, as a matter of fact its useful.
Craft weaps n units of rarity 10* or + u really shouldnt. bcauz they will end up weaker than expected

now for the `why`..... u see, weaps of 10* have a bonus which allow u to always hit btwen 90~100% of its max dmg. when u craft, even thought u get more ATK, u lose that bonus.
example.... instead of hit from 900~1000 u will hit from 700~1200 (meaning the end result is a.. weaker weap ww) note; the numbers r just for example, but u get my point (〃￣ω￣〃ゞ
as for units, they lose the `parameter`, u can check em here http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/unit_1.php#nav, each part has some special bonus which is lost when u craft.

That pretty much cover the base of it (〃￣ω￣〃ゞ
Hope this was of help (〃￣ω￣〃ゞ

Pretty much just craft subpar equipment. Set bonuses and latents stay, but pretty much nothing else matters at all outside of appearance.

Once you start getting gear with similar stats to what crafting caps out at, it definitely stops being worth it. Not just because of the effort and materials involved for crafting, but the hidden stats are way better on rare items.

There are very few, if any, instances where crafting is useful in the current endgame. There is a huge gap you have to make up for, so it's rarely worth it unless the only other alternative costs a hundred million and you'll never find one yourself.

Crafting Technique is another matter.
But it's worth it for technique.
