I'm not a big fan of the crafting portion of the new relic either, but it doesn't bother me that much. I think people need to be a bit more savy with their gil. If something is expensive, don't buy it. Relics are very new, its only the 2nd day. Of course the crafted items are gonna be super expensive. If you wait till you finish the grind portion, I would bet the price of those items would have gone down. Supply would be high, and demand would be low since its to much money.

. . . Unless all the crafters are working together to keep prices high, but I doubt it. right?
