Crafting is dead

[Sibyll]

I had some leftover ooids on the MB at 750k just to store them really. They sold. As did my 3 HQ Heavensnuts that were listed at 1mil each. The prices actually appear to be going up as some crafters attempt to gathers these themselves. They then say F it and buy them off the MB.

This may lead to more people listing them to sell, causing the price to drop again, but right now prices are going up and not down.

The funny thing is that even if you used only rare mats with their 3 Rowena Crafting Token price tag you could still acquire a crafted main hand in half the time it would take to get the i180: 4 2* HQ mats = 12 Rowena Tokens; Masterkeep's are 26 tokens. If you do 2 HQ and 2 NQ you could get it in one week if you are able to gather all the mats yourself. Gatherers get the shaft though.

I haven't seen anything approaching a reasonable price for favor mats yet. The minimum seems to be 300k per. Which means you're paying 6m per mat and 18/24m to try and craft a full piece. Still prohibitive in my eyes since there's very little ROI in sight.

I'm at a loss for what a reasonable price for these would be. As it stands it's almost impractical to make any of the new gear with the purpose of selling it unless you've farmed every mat yourself.
