The "its x lvl behind" doesnt count.

Crafts have always been at the same level as the uncapped tomestones - nothing new there

difference: No daily cap and tremendous efforts to get materials needed to make it. You could use excess tomes to get the materials. ALWAYS and due to that the supply was high and the prices moderate

Now? Sorry if i dont break out in a crazy laughter here. You need 6(!) red crafter scrip items for a body, thats 300 scrip or items worth 2-4m if you'd sold them instead of traded them in. Then add the 120(!) favor items you need - 60 miner 60 botanist - to get those items. With an average of 4.5 per favor youll end up running around 6-7 hours getting those. So far not a single one of those has sold on the MB b/c they are all 500k+ - even tho thats too high around 100k should be reasonable. Still this puts you at 12million worth of favor items.

To sum it up:


300 Red crafter Scrips
270 Red gathering Scrips
around 12 hours playtime crafting items for scrip and gathering items for scrip.
Items worth 2-4 Million traded in for scrip - items reasonable worth 12 million for a total of 14-16m

and hey, thats ONE body piece.

And NO - not a single piece of equipment is on the MB on a quite populated server yet. Compared to 2.x where you had plenty sold in the first 2-4 days this just shows how much this new system sucks.
