Grade III Aetherial Wheels - Currently useless

At first I was going to say craft a level 3 wheel and sell it, but aint that a shame I cant sell 400 items at a time like I could in EVE. Just not enough retainer space for everyone to sell everything they want, leading to certain areas in the market having little to no stock. Just not worth your time to create a market of aetherial wheels because that space could be selling something that moves fast.

Work vs. Reward Imbalance is a major issue throughout the crafting system, so it's no surprise that company crafting is included. I really hope whoever's in charge of itemization takes a closer look at work vs. reward in general. As an 8x 2-star Crafter, I'm thoroughly frustrated by the amount of grind involved and the utter worthlessness of what I can craft once I get there. Months of work just to make glamour items and items for other crafters, essentially.

i belong to a small FC and to be fair, these do help, the amount of items they require is not that large. and you can set airships to get a larger amount of items by messing around with the parts, and aim at the right sectors (or tbh just buy the deep cluster crystals). a small company is not gonna bring the amount of credits a large company does per day. i can see that for a very large company, the actions credits cost is somewhat pocket money, but for small companies it does have a impact.
with them reducing the amount of time the actions take to charge on this patch, it will become more usefull for everyone. and with the new 4 grade wheel stand that lets you charge 4 wheels, it becomes better.

Funny. The search function now included in the 3.1 patch for Crafting was something I suggested back in September. Got an official response and now it's included. Less than 90s days later.

yeah I think the only buffs worth getting are the 15% ones, like exp, craftsmanship, control, etc. I wouldn't waste the materials for the food buff

With the addition of Deep Crystals/Clusters to Diadem rewards, getting enough for an FC action is pretty easy - I got like 19 spoils in a good farming session and 1 spoil = 3 clusters or 6 crystals. Plus I've been getting a couple dozen green clusters between the 4 airships a week so it's been keeping up.

It only takes 20 hours to charge a T1 FC action, 2 days for a T2 action (still 3 days for T3) so it's really really good for small FCs now that are content with mainly using T1/T2 actions using the level 4 table (T1x2/T2/T3 capacity)

Now if only it didn't take like 60 button presses to create each wheel that would be really great.

Sorry if this was already asked but can different tiers of wheels charge at the same time?

Yes, they all charge independently. The number you can charge at once just depends on your wheel table.

We will use your feedback as reference when considering future adjustments. We would like to make it easier to produce aetherial wheels in future, so we ask you to wait a bit longer.

A year and a half later... we still have the same crappy system with no change.

This goes hand in hand with the 4 person company workshop requirement.

If these things could be solo crafted, they would be still bad, just not as much (that charging time!)
