Crafted Gear releasing on the same patch as the first Savage tier

[Oxidized]

bot crafters

I was reluctant to mention this because I did not want to give someone ideas, but yes, there is an influx of "TOS-breaking" crafting (and MB pricing) activity that also serves to drag prices down, and it has a much greater impact than any Savage content delay. Still wish SE did something about this.

I'm in support for this change request!

Saw a post on the JP thread that raised an interesting point. This is the first expansion launch with DC travel available, and anyone paying attention knows what DC travel has done to the high-end PF. Everyone looking to raid via PF on day one is going to travel to Aether (for example) and that means most of the people looking to buy gear day one are going to do so on Aether as well. And because you only have retainers on your home world, only crafters native to Aether will be able to sell their gear to day one raiders, or they will at least have a disproportionately large market. A one week offset would be an easy fix.

I saw this argument on JP as well, they typically all go to Mana to raid and supposedly it is the same exact scenario that NA faces regarding Aether. Crafters on Crystal and Primal will be at a huge disadvantage.

Since I just craft for myself and my static generally I didn't even think about this option. This makes it even worse

So I guess that prices will plummet to the ground on «*non raiding*» DC like Chaos for EU ?

Since there will be as many crafters as in Light, but far less people that want to buy, since R1s-R4s pf’s will be on Light

Can we at least stock up on timed nodes in the four weeks leading up to 7.05?
Of course we won't know exactly what we'll need for any given piece, but can we at least start hoovering up as much rare materials as we can in hopes we can use some of it to make some gear?
This will be my first expansion launch, and I'm still trying to figure out how everything usually goes.

[Somnolence]

How many roundtrips to same timed node you usually need for a set of gear?

I wonder what is realistic minimum of time to craft a set after servers go live.

Wholeheartedly supporting the request!
