    So I just went to make some stockings and see the crafting pattern has changed and now requires a 2016 yule symbol.

    Why?

    1) This is not the pattern I bought, changing what it takes to make it seems wrong
    2) Making it impossible to craft makes it pointless to leave in my crafting book.

    This seems like a particularly lame brained exercise in screwing with the backers and those who have actually stuck with things for the last two years.

    Same goes for the gift box.

    Can you check to see if those yule symbols are for sale on crafting vendors or the Central Brittany deco merchant? This is still pretty screwy to change with no warning.

    Admittedly, without the "symbol" thing like signs have, they would have to come up with a slightly different recipe every time they made a new one, and things would quickly get out of hand. I suppose they could use dye combinations, but that would still reach a point where things got completely silly.

    When did you last use the recipe? If it hasn't been since before this release, that's probably exactly what happened.

    It looks like they added it to make the recipe more formulaic for each year.

    Yep, crafting supplies merchant, 50g each. Otherwise the recipe system would require them to make every year's recipe slightly different in arbitrary ways. This lets them make it different in a non-arbitrary way.

    Maybe the vendors will have a discount sale after the season's over. ;)

    So long as I'll still be able to purchase the symbols as desired. It'd suck to want a variety of boxes but be limited to making this year's only. Or to need a box in the mid of summer and not have symbols. I would have done one recipe for them and did patterns like they do the Wooden Chests.
