iLevel 70 crafted gear ridiculously expensive

[YanDere]

I know that crafted gear must be more expensive than DL, but do you even know how much does a HQ Vanya Robe of Healing unmelded cost?
800.000 gil.
Now tell me how many lifes I have to live to get that much gil.

Flat out lie. my FC has been selling titan runs for a -long time- now and no one has been banned.

Dude, im slightly a step up from "casual player". since release, taking 30 minutes a day to craft some items, i have managed to rack up over a million gil doing this. you can get that amount of money if you know what you are doing. and if you grind ToP, you can sell the items for over 80K. opportunities to make gil are there...you just arent seeing them.

its the free market. those prices fluctuate a lot. one day some items are worth a lot, the next they are work close to nothing. it basically depends on demand and supply

This was in regard to the cost in coke/potash/etc. not being equal, (i.e. legs for one job need 9 coke, while another set of legs takes 27 potash) which is broken, clearly. Recipes need to be adjusted to use equivalent amounts of materials so that the costs are the same (material wise) from piece to piece (i.e. a head for drg takes the same number of EG mats as a head for brd).

One can buy Coke / Potash / Animal fat / etc from the AH.
One can farm Phylo tomes and get the items, sell them / use them / pay a crafter / etc.

What`s ToP?

The point isn't where they 'can' be purchased but rather how many need to be used for any given craft. A ring that costs 18 coke (2050 tomes) is absurd regardless of whether or not you can purchase the coke on the market, when placed side by side with a DL equiv that costs 375 even being meld-able doesn't make it worth the time/gil.
ToP = Tomes of Philosophy

They do need to 'adjust'/'normalize' the recipes, costing more is one thing, having costs that vary wildly from one class to another is something else entirely. Accessories that cost on the verge of absurdity makes me a sad panda.

I crafted in 1.0 and was looking forward to doing it as my source of income to support my once lavish lifestyle. Sadly the recipes for endgame and speed leveling, which kills the early~midgame markets, have made it a real turn off.
