I'm not too surprised these are easier. That leaves room for difficulty increases for any Expert recipes introduced in 6.4 and 6.5 since there won't be any more DoH gear upgrades this expansion other than the final version of the relic tool that won't be available until 6.5.

I just wish we had more selection in items to make. SE seems to be staking Expert crafting around a single marketable item each patch, and for this patch it's not generating the interest needed to be worth pursuing.
