This was mentioned a long time ago, allowing one character to have two maxed out crafts. I stopped leveling back then to wait for this... but it never happened.
Does anyone know the status of this? Or did it go the way of the PvP Colosseum in Whitegate? :(
I remember them talking about it, was probably a year ago by now. They said they were considering lifting the 40 point allocation for craft mastery up to 80 to allow for 2 crafts, along with increasing the maximum caps for main and subs. They also said they were open to feedback on how players would react to this, and it's possible if the reaction was exceedingly negative the idea was scrapped, especially since implementation of the latter part of the idea has already begun.
In an effort to enhance future development, we would like to gather some feedback from all of the crafters in Vana’diel in regards to the below. We encourage you to discuss this with your fellow players and provide feedback on the direction we’re contemplating.
As you are aware, there is a limit for craft skills where once you reach skill level 60, you are limited to 40 more levels to distribute amongst the other eight crafts (excluding fishing). As such, the system only allows you to be able to reach 100 if you gain all 40 skill levels in one craft, or you can raise two crafts to 80 if you gain 20 levels in two different crafts.
For the future expansion of synthesis and synergy, we’re looking into raising the skill level limitation from 40 to 80 during the next version update. Once this change takes place, you will then be able to have two crafts leveled to 100.
Since this change would alter the core of the crafting system, before serious development discussions begin we would like to hear feedback from all of our hardcore crafters.
The main points of adjustments beginning from the next version update and on are listed below:
Raise the 40 skills levels that can be distributed when a skill reaches 60 to 80. (Makes possible the ability to level two skills to 100)
For the next version update “Revoking Craftsmanship Status” will remain the same as original (Bringing your skill down to 60). For future version updates we plan on making adjustments so that the system allows you to decide which craft skill you would like craftsmanship revoked.
Additionally for future adjustments we are thinking about increasing the levels further beyond 80.
This will be extremely advantageous for synergy, however, due to the fact that these changes would likely cause the number of players with skills at level 100 to increase significantly, there might be some concerns in regards to how the balance of supply and demand are affected.
After collecting your feedback for about a week, we’ll examine it closely with the development and operations teams after which we plan on working on this after the next version update. In order for us to improve the synthesis and synergy systems of FFXI please leave as much feedback as possible!

This is beyond false. It is a flat out LIE.
There I was with cooking and goldsmithing both at 70 on my alt. I took the test for Goldsmithing only to see my cooking INSTANTLY reduced to and capped at 60.
Based on Camate's comment from above I have been hoarding materials in anticipation there would be another crafting level increase.
Has there been given any clear direction in which way crafting limits are headed? Or is the assumption that since there has been no further mention of crafting cap increases in over a year, they will not be happening any time soon if at all?

This ****** me off to this day.
I have both Bonecraft 85 and Woodworking 92 on my main (because I thought the double 100 system was already in effect.) So yes you can. Granted, I have no other crafts over 60 and only Alchemy58 having done its 70cap test.
