Glamour prism

I may have missed it somewhere, but hadn't see nothing about how to get that.
I just worry it being some rare item sold at 2k Allagans :cool:

It's sad., features like this should never be at the mercy of price-gouging crafters as seen so often before.

Well, we still have the option of make one crafter ourselves. Never gone thru that, anyway. Hope not much pricey the levelup.

Not really - Remember PvP items? That glory was only about 20 minutes before people started getting ....well, "Smart" and undercutting to make it a useless market. Glamours will be a good boost for about 30 minutes then people will get "smart" and undercut till there's no profit in it and only those who have a DoH will make the glamours for themselves.

Normally true, but this game needs the stimulation in the economy. Especially on legacy worlds, so it's actually good it will be at the mercy of crafters because crafting has nearly zero use in this game when you get BETTER gear from trash chests in dungeons.

It looks like you buy a clear prism item from an NPC (in any of the starting cities) and then use the corresponding crafting class to make a prism associated with their class for a specified range of gear levels (similar to dark matter level ranges).

For instance, a CRP might buy a clear prism, then make a woodworking prism for level range 1-20, which would allow the appearance of a level 5 bow over a level 15 bow.

If the price bottoms out and people stop putting prisms up then demand increases in relation to supply and the price should increase (You start getting the WTB shouts). I really don't understand why the economy doesn't work properly in this game. What idiot crafters would sell at or less than a break even price? Just Market Board trolls? There can't be that many of them. Legit crafters standing ground and positing at reasonable prices should be able to outpace the handful of trolls since the trolls would burn out of gil by selling at a loss.

I'm quite unsatisfied with the way they decided to go through.

I hoped it would be more "open". I do understand they need to stimulate the economy, but this is too complicated. You'll need at least 4/5 prisms to change a complete set. I would have been satisfied just being able to wear my battlemage set while keeping the crimson set stats. I don't like Crafting and Gathering, I tried but I can't have fun because I found it really boring. But then again, this is only my opinion: I'll just have check and if the "mirage prism" is as "closed" as I'm afriad I'll just give up and focus on the other end game contents.

I don't understand it either but people (LOTS of people, a really scary number, not just a handful) are happy to even sell things under NPC trade in value. When I've been bored I've made a couple thousand gil just buying stuff on the market board and reselling it to the NPC right beside me. Considering how little NPC's give, that's really sad.

The undercutting by 10s of thousands of gil on items worth less than 100k at the time already really annoys me though. That's when HQ double star item markets were carefully made at a reasonable price (materials plus a little for time and a little for difficulty) and then got price bombed into obliteration. There was no call for that. I'm not saying 99% mark up profit is the right but material cost plus 5% for those high level HQ recipes shouldn't really have been that much to ask. Selling the end results for half of the cost of materials was nuts.

Or you know, you can go level crafting yourself and make tons of money. Why do you think you're entitled to everything if you're not exploring everything the game has?

She's saying something slightly different.
