Problem: Items are Worthless

[Kimahri]

To the OP: That's a hell of a lot of NQ crab bows to make an end product of a +3. You're talking about 8 to the power of 4. That's 4096 crab bows to end up with a +3 at the minimal success level. I would much rather be in favor of a desynth option to get back a certain material(s).

Yeah, it's ridiculous, but it was supposed to be.

As I commented before, though, this wouldn't be meant as a way to reliably get a +3 item. Rather, it would be solely used as a way to empty the market of bottom tier items.

In effect, it's price control. The second any NQ item price falls below that control price (let's say, +1 item price/10), you buy 8 and synth a +1. Same with +1 items and +2, or +2 and +3. That's all that it's meant to address.
