2,100 Shards?

[chocomaid]

That really not that much for shards compared to what they use to be if you saying only 50k for the 2100 shards that only 23 gil a shard, now if they were at their former high prices I could see your point when there were going for 75 a piece which then would of been 157k.

That's exactly the problem, this particular recipe is susceptible to market fluctuations.

Tbh, it would be better if it was 3 fire/water crystals, instead of a higher amount of a lesser shard. Difficulty in shards needed should be the tier of quality, not quantity (unless it is a special recipe like pets and whatnot).
