really? really? BLM spells can be obtained via other ways MOST of the time. with the exception of spells like Warp II Aspir Drain and Sleepga II, most all BLM spells can be farmed. The above mentioned can be quested as well. COR HAS TO BUY THEIR DICE FROM NPC'S. There are no other options. Its not our fault if you go around buying them all from NPC's or pay ridiculous Auction House Prices instead of getting them yourself.

And your right to that effect the fact that they are expensive really isnt the issue, its the fact we don't have a choice in the matter about how we can get them.

As for the Bullets EVEN IF your server has a decent supply of them (which to me would be 3-10 stacks of pouches on the AH at all times) its the fact that they restricted it to a recipe that requires you to use only gold ore and fool's gold ore. Both of which were NEVER in high supply.

My friend leveled Goldsmithing some time ago and would camp the AH for weeks waiting for gold ore to skill up. and to make it worse the Fool's Gold Ore is only dropped from Campaign ops a less than desirable event atm.

So the bullet issue is them bottlenecking the recipe with 2 items that were never that popular to begin with. Add that ontop of a currently unpopular job and in some cases (servers) the demand isn't high enough to provide a supply.
