Trust me when I say, the demand for ore is generally higher than the demand for finished products. As a result, ore prices will stay relatively stable, while finished products will go under rapid price swings. Why? Ore is needed for not just one accessory, but ALL accessories that use that ore. So you're talking a BUNCH of ore that every goldsmith like you wants so they can make their hq stuff. That means selling ore at a premium price because ppl like you will always buy it.

Now the flip side, you have goldsmiths now flooding the market with their accessories. Ppl dont need accessories nearly as bad as they need ore, so accessories get rampant undercuts. Dont buy ore until the demand subsides, and ore prices return to normal levels. In most cases, as in normal market conditions, buying mats and making finished products is very profitable. When the market inflates, however, its a bad idea. There can never be to much ore on the market, but there can easily be too many accessories.
I see what you're saying and what MIGHT happen in the future, and yet waiting until prices go down makes no sense, because when the prices of the +1 materials go down, so will the prices of the +1 jewelry go down because people will and CAN undercut even more.

And then you guys tell me to level DoL to make any money... Well then if that's the case, then this crafting system is broken and needs to be fixed.
