Thank you for the link, this is great!

Could someone translate the post maybe?

We understand that the cost of materials for 2-star crafts is a bit high when it comes to their ingredients purchased with Allagan tomestones of philosophy. Therefore, we will make the necessary changes to recipes that use more than 1125 tomestones and scale them down a bit so all of the recipes will no longer use more than 1125 tomestones.

Fixings problems that never should have existed in the first place :P
2250 tomestones to make an item that would otherwise cost 825 (or even 375 as some would have it) made sense to someone?

Some crafts are completely crazy, like pots (hi-elixir, x-ether/potion), 2 star craft for potions ?
How do you want people to even try craft it if it's to be sold under 1000gil?

Philo mat's are not over supplied they are crazy stupid expensive and nobody can afford them. "Oh but only 25K-20K-15K each".
I need 54 Potash and 9 Animal fat to make a suit as a weaver, not including Jewelry. I don't buy one knowing I need that many to meet objective.

You might not be able to afford them, but others can. If you don't want to farm the philosophy to make it, or have it made, yourself, then don't complain about the price tag.

The price of philo mats is a problem. Having trouble to afford materials for obsolete armor is idiotic. It only takes 10 -15 minutes to buy one philo mat, there is no reason that should cost 20k. It makes absolutely no business sense and kills the crafting classes more than anything since devoted raiders will just deal with DL gear to get Myth/Allagan and the upcoming CT gear.

This drives me nuts, you need 7 coke for a Darksteel Ingot. A Darksteel Ingot is 300K + each on Excalibur MW. You need 2 Darksteel Ingots (plus a bunch of Darksteel and Rosegold Nuggets) to make Heavy Darksteel Armour.

HQ Heavy Darksteel Armour on MW on Sunday when I checked was 330k
