Please make fine wool useful for anything!
Here is the problem as I see it:
Since I returned from my hiatus, I noticed that the developers decided to add a new drop to Sheep. When I first encountered fine wool, I was excited to see what sort of items it may be useful for. When I actually looked up the Mabinogi wiki entry on
Fine Wool, however, I was disappointed to say the least. Fine wool is only used in the crafting of Cotton Cushion Stuffing, subsequently used to make pet houses that can be placed in players' homesteads.
After spending some time shearing sheep, my disappointment with fine wool turned to outright frustration. Nearly 50% of the drops when I am shearing sheep end up being fine wool. The higher your luck, the more likely you are to get the drop. I wouldn't have a problem with this if fine wool were actually used in any other crafting recipe. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. I do have particularly high luck and you could argue that I should simply try to debuff my stat, but luck is also important for lucky drops of regular wool as well.
I do believe there are some potential solutions to this problem:
One solution is to make fine wool usable in the crafting of thick thread balls. Maybe, fine wool could yield double the amount of thick thread balls as regular wool. This would help alleviate some of the grindiness of higher-rank weaving and tailoring (which is a huge problem in and of itself). Currently, fine wool only exacerbates this problem as it wastes nearly half of the durability of your gathering tools on a resource which is fundamentally unusable, unsellable, and altogether a waste of potential.
Another solution I thought of is making fine wool usable in high-tier sewing recipes. These days, most of the highly-sought outfits are only available in Gachapons or events. This is a huge problem in my opinion as it has caused much of the economy to stagnate. I believe that developers could release a new line of sewing/crafting recipes or even make some of the current popular outfits craftable through tailoring. This would also be a good potential use of fine wool as it would help revitalize tailoring as a viable profession. Currently, people usually only rank weaving/tailoring for the DEX for something more straightforward like Archery.
I hope that you guys will take my thoughts into consideration.
