Has anyone checked this out?

So what benefit does blacksmithing brings (besides the lvl 130 equips)? What could make you choose that instead of the jewelcrafting?

I mean, you can still get most of the items a blacksmith can make through drops (once again, with the exception of the 130 equips) while most of the things you can make with the jeweler are pretty much unique as of now? Something doesn't really clicks with this.

Mass produce equips and then get an Alchemy mule to merge two of the same equips together to make one equip with unidentified potential (going off how Spadow explains Alchemy in an earlier blog post)?

Yeah, this doesn't really click with me either...
