Since this went public, fleece market board orders spiked to 214 orders with multiple stacks of 99 on Sargatanas.

There is an insane amount of Fleece on Sargatanas and I'm sure there always was. The problem was it was too easy to monopolize it. Hopefully this eliminates that problem.

everyone should just stay away from the markets for a couple days, lol. Of course players that don't come to the forums or read updates will buy them

Actually, take a very good look at the boards before the update. It may just be that they are over correcting their position, meaning prices can be lower now than after the update.

You are right, it isn't broken. It's easily abused right now and it is being abused. I took a 34 Conjurer to Dragonhead tonight and I farmed fleece for 2 hrs, killed 150 or so Karakul and got around 60 Fleece. I can tell you it was a good feeling to be able to gather that fleece. Had I tried that a week ago I wouldn't have gotten a single fleece. I would have had the Karakul pulled out from under me on every turn and there wouldn't have been a heck of a lot I could have done about it.

As a Weaver I can say I do appreciate this change. I know it will result in more people will level Weaver, more people will remove my unique qualification as a level 50 Weaver. The reason for crafting is to be self sufficient and that goes for all players. I'd prefer it if every player had a level 50 Weaver. It might not be good for me but I'd say it's good for the game if everyone can complete all the content.

I never had to farm a single Karakul. I never even had to use fleece to get to 50. I did leves that gave me fleece from 45-50. I got over a stack of fleece in a super short time and got from 45-50 in the process:

You think that stack is going to last forever? As an endgame crafter, I am constantly running out of fleece due to most 1 star recipes requiring varying amounts of undyed felt and undyed woolden cloth. Wasting leves when I'm already level 50 in weaver just for fleece is silly.

Wasting leves? I've heard this nonsense so many times. If you value your leves more than the EIGHTEEN FLEECE you can get from a single leve allowance, then you obviously have no strong *need* for fleece. It's NOT wasting if you get something valuable from it that you want or need. You get 6 of the things every day... for free.

I'm currently sitting at 100 leve allowances. I'm no longer accumulating leve allowances because I'm at max. Please continue to tell me how I'm wasting leves on getting easy web and fleece. You're wrong.

"Wasting" ... *face palm*

I didn't have to kill the Karakul en masse for Fleece, either. :p

Issue was mainly because I couldn't, though. They were always camped by regular players and infested with a multitude of teleporting bots. I personally don't mind things being grindy or difficult at times, but face it, Diremite Web and Fleece were an utterly ridiculous bottleneck, whether you got them from leves or not. At least I've yet to have the luck to have guaranteed Diremite Webs or Fleece from the triple turn-in leves, I get shards as a reward far more often. And yes, I'm aware that leve rewards are randomized with every leve completition and every few hours, still doesn't change the fact that two different players may have 2 full stacks of Fleece by the time they're 50 or just a handful that's not even enough for your class quests.
