Right now the amount of tomes of law needed for each dryad sap, purified coke etc. -- mats needed to make ilvl 170 crafting gear -- are absolutely insane. By my calculation to fully equip an omnicrafter over 2 million (!!!) tomes of law would be needed, or similar insane amounts of spoils (or gil).
It is good that it is hard to get such gear, but this is really going overboard, massively -- it would be nice to get geared up before the next expansion comes out...
Actually, it is okay the way it is. And it is for one reason: Tomes of law will be replaced by tomes of esoterics with pach 3.2. Since esoterics tomes are a tier higher than law tomes, the mats should get cheaper. The exchange rate often is around 4:1. So if the price is now at 1'800 of uncapped tomes, it might be around 450 uncapped tomes with patch 3.2. Later, with patch 3.4, they might even go down to 100 uncapped tomes. Who knows...
The same with diadem. With patch 3.3 we should get new equipment through diadem that can be exchanged for spoils. Instead of 1-3 spoils, we might get 4-6 for each equipment.
Anyway, there are other more efficient ways to get those mats you mentioned. Getting them with tomes is really meant for the masses (to sell them at the market board).
BTW: I think this is in the wrong sub-forum.
