    If my math is right, you'll need 100 GSM Desynth and 1,052 HQ crafter token items to get a single new crafter primary tool. That's 11,579 HQ crafter token items to get all eleven. For reference, you need 50 HQ crafter token items to get the old Artisan tool, and that was considered very grindy and took hours and hours to craft. This is 20x worse. And that's just for one of the components - they also take something no one knows how to get. So, the Allied Seals thing is not the only ridiculous grind for minimal gain introduced in the new patch...

    It's a horrible grind the first time around. But I got four artisan specs in about an hour (no fieldcraft III sadly), so i could probably get my tool by the end of the month if I weren't selling all the demimateria I get. Mastercraft demimateria more than likely comes from i90 crafted armor, so have fun with that one. I've desynthed everything else already, so that's the only thing that's left.

    More Fates. Thank you SE for once again jamming these down my buttocks for 4 seals a day. Probably going to join those random hunt parties....

    Let's all just agree that lots of pricing for everything so far in 2.3 have been silly. Agreed? Agreed.
