4.05 crafting disappointment

[Nezerius]

Not sure you can compare the i170 class gear to this i290 white... one took months to make, and required you to meet 2 star stats. It is the i150 white you should compare to this i290. Even then, that white set was not full i150 (which you needed the master book for), the offhand was i140 and the rest of left side ranged from i110 to i140.

Why wouldn't I compare the i290 set with the i170 set? It's pretty clear that they're both 10 ilvls below their respective scrip counterparts. This isn't about the difficulty of crafting either sets, but about the actual stats/ilvl of the sets.

If you believe the i290 is equal to the i170 then the i290 will also carry us to 3 star? In HW you needed to craft the i170 to get to 3 star min (note you could do this was some crazy melds on the shared set and heavy melds on the i170 main/offhand, but did not know anyone who actually did that), you that used the ability to craft the 3 star min to get the iron works set. Basically if i290=i170 you are staying we not getting another crafting set to 4.2, which will be the only other one in SB.

The i290 should not be compared to the i170 for this reason. Really you can't compare HW to SB in this way. The removal of a weekly cap, no favor system has completely changed things.

I wasn't a fan of the weekly cap but- Am I the only person that kinda enjoyed the favor system? I honestly really liked it. It made gathering feel somewhat more diverse. Mind you I'm not sure why since all you did was go to someplace to gather on a timer lol
