Crafting changes?

I know Chris was supposed to be working on these soon (or maybe already is) but has he mentioned anywhere (looking at you, live streams I never have the time to watch) what these changes might entail? I'm sure nothing that he may have said is set in stone, but I'm curious. Also, I really need a new set of gear, and I don't want to blow through all my hard-earned tier 2/3 mats only to find out I should have waited a month.

 

I hope I'm wrong, but my impression from the streams is that crafting got brushed aside in favor of bugs and server stuff this month, and will be replaced by something else next month. (I encouraged the tick-tock schedule, so I wouldn't mind him focusing on bugs this month, except that I don't see a lot of improvements and have no reason to believe crafting will come any time soon.)

 

There has been a few little improvements, like increase batch sizes, equivalent experience for batch scrolls, and maybe a few more, but I can't remember. Clearly not the changes we are expecting but some welcomed ones nonetheless. Other than that, yeah, bug fixes took over last month, and I have no clue what is happening this month.

 

That was my impression as well, but I don't usually cross watch the streams, so I wasn't sure if there was other information.

 

The changes to meticulous are great, you get xp for each time you hit a meticulous now. Also last stream he talked about giving drinks buffs as well, a separate buff from foods. He also liked someones suggestion of food for pets, so who knows? No news about changes to gear yet i think, at least i haven't heard anything about it.
