Sounds interesting, just having some musings that tell us ware the next update might be going is interesting. A deeper crafting system certainly sounds like a good idea, I could see the generalized 'temple' recipes existing and the player needing to actually create an instance of that recipe with specific ingredients and specific effects on the final product. I think you'd need to spend LP (or it's eventual replacement) along with all the ingredients of the recipe to essentially 'prototype' the new recipe, failure would be possible which would ruin the ingredients but might refund some of the LP used (you learning from failure). The recipe could be written down and other players cold learn it as a kind of pseudo-skill which allows them to create the product as well. It might also be interesting to tie dreams into the process but they would need to be made much rarer and not come from a device but rather appear in your inventory when you sleep, make their appearance predicated on LP gain so they can't be farmed from alts.
P.S. Jorb I know you must still be in the Haro area, I'm going to hunt you down and get my chests back
