The materials for each grade of a given class's prism are identical save for the "Grade X Clear Prism", which all cost 200g anyway so they may as well be the same item.

The recipes are located in the crafting books, which cost 1000g and are available from the Lalafel NPC right next to the guy who unlocks the glamour system. There are no requirements to learn the recipes save for a level 30 crafter of the right class.

Oh, by the way, I do truly appreciate this information! Thank you.

LOL, it's ridiculous that I won't pay $10,000 gil per prism that has just been confirmed here takes about $500 to make? No, actually that's very logical.

Regardless, I'm stepping out of posting in this thread. The OP asked for opinions from non-crafters, and so far 80% of the responses have been insults from crafters. Take care everyone.

Supply and demand, more people want the items, than can make them, the price goes up. Inversly the price will fall when people have gotten
what they want. This is what happens when crafting finally has any purpose, and people have put it off. Stop treating crafters and gatherers
like they are separate people. The'yre not. They play the game and have DoW/M also. My main is a smn, with absolutely no crafted or glamoured gear.

Not wanting to pay 10K gil for something that costs you 500 gil makes me a troll, huh?

BTW, I see you have all crafts at 50.... I wonder why you love this system so much?

With that said, SE should find a way to at least take part of this vanity system away from you greedy crafters. Make it more like Dyes. Tons are bought at vendors while others can be crafted. That way, we only have to go to you greed monsters for one of the rare glamour prisms instead of every time a new piece of gear drops on the current job we're leveling. It's a win, win really.

According to others, like lemonade, leveling a crafting class is already fast and profitable. Stop being so greedy.

one can apply the same logic and call you greedy for not wanting to pay for prisms. maybe they wouldn't cost 10k gil if there was NOBODY WILLING TO PAY THAT PRICE.

Stop being so greedy.

Say yet another greedy crafter. You people are just as bad as the trolls in DF and CT.

besides greedy crafters

OP since your true main focus in the system is the cost:

Why bother giving advice to someone just labeling ppl trying to help them.

Why bother with someone who has DoW/DoM leveled and access upto 50k+ gil profit per day just from Roulettes and Dailies.

Why bother with someone who is in a FC with 347 other ppl that can help them?

If anyone is Greedy, a troll, lazy, it is in fact the OP. They have more available to them than others.

What a waste.

After SE opened the Gil tap in 2.2 with the Challenge Log nobody can now really complain to not have enough money.
OP, do the Challenge Log and earn some money. And if it is not enough, do duty roulette as tank and get rich (4500 gil as role bonus).

greedy crafters.

Stop being so greedy.

Also, stop being greedy, Greedy McGreederson.

Say yet another greedy crafter.

Clearly you love the word greed so much you're greedy in using the word greed so no one else can have the word greed, you greedy greed diction user.

Or something.

We're in a game were idiots pay RMT people real money in exchange for fake money all so they can buy gear runs, housing, etc. Of course these people aren't going to care how much these prisms are selling for.

I just hope RMT gets involved with the crafting/selling of the prisms soon and crashes the market.

STOP USING MY WORD!

Only thing that annoys me about prisms is how there are 5 grades for each craft. It kills my inventory space quickly. ><
Other than that, typical vanity system, I don't understand what the complaints are about.
