SE, We need to talk about Leatherworker ...

I'm not sure if you miss the point on purpose because you can't answer to it or if you genuinely don't understand what I'm saying.

I'll try one last time.

It's not about how easy or hard it is. It's about how does it compare to the other classes, and how theses classes can have their material supplied, and at what rate. And also how much material is needed for the recipes.
Currently, LTW falls behind in every category. Getting materials is slower, it's limited per people farming, the HQ rate is way lower, and the quantity needed doesn't change much from other classes.

That's all I'm saying. I don't care how easy or hard it is. But I do care about imbalance between classes.

Except it isn't imbalanced? It's also based on which class tends to garner more profit.

Clothes are needed most because more players glamour, or need gear to level up, vs people needing infusions or food. It's not that food or infusions aren't useful, but only a percentage of the population is going to need it. This means the obvious choice would mean leveling up that LTW or weaver because of the potential money, but it shouldn't be a faceroll to level up. The difficulty is just right.

They are fine where they are at. As I said the only concern was the mane and hair, but even that wasn't terrible.

The mats aren't exceptionally difficult.

You want to do leves alone, you're looking at 48-49 leves to get to 70 Less than other leves of other classes (some are averaging 50-52) if you do the cheap route. Which is spamming the leves with the Tiger Skin once you are able to reach it. Crafting the skins into the leather nets you even more XP if you're working to make them HQ, ON TOP OF using Commercial Engineering manuals since you can get those cheap with red scrips. Speaking of Red scrips...

You got collectibles too which a lot aren't asking for the stupid dissolvents to be added to the gear recipe now.

So..

Tiger Leather takes 3 skins which are an easy farm from Azim Steppes if you kill Baras, and also rather easy if you kill the Yanxia tigers sitting at the front entrance that leads you to the Ruby Sea. I advise against Rainbow Tigers....

The Alumen is also easy, in fact the market has crashed on my server because most people were leveling up during Raubahn EX that there's a rather huge glut of them (and they're really a 60 gather).

Gagana Belt of Scouting to level 62 = 63 Gagana skins, and 21 Titanium Nuggets (you can buy the nuggets with the Gnath beast Tribe).
So doing the Tiger Leather Leves, = 306 skins, and 102 Alumens. How unfair....????

Seems LTW has it made honestly if you're doing the grind to 70. If you're doing it a weird way and trying to make everything in your log, then maybe there's a problem...?
