New Crafting Question

[Pashta]

<div> I still don't understand exactly how crafting will work, even after crafting on test.  It seems to me that only the spells and abilities have been converted over, the rest is the same as it ever was.  I'd like to know how many of those sub-combines are going to stay?  Will the xp be adjusted, taking the lack of sub-combine pristines into consideration?</div><div> </div><div> I'm wondering when the crafting changes will be live because they aren't even started yet on test.  It's pretty tough to judge it yet being so incomplete.  Just curious.</div>

<div></div>Currently only new recipes are using the new crafting system. After KoS goes live other recipes will be converted over to the new system. This will let people adjust to the changes, use up their stockpiled subs that are going away, and give the devs time to convert all the existing recipes.
