I LOVE my black drachen! <3 Yeah it cost me a lot but I'm a gatherer and a crafter so I can afford these things. I'm not even one of those über crafters with all classes at 50, just a humble carpenter and botanist...and I didn't even make my fortune from starred crafting items (lvl 35-50). I made half the money back within 24 hours of buying it and I have ZERO regrets.

I've seen so many people avoid crafting as if it were leprosy yet they moan that they don't have the gil to get the things they want. Well if all you want to do is your dailies and raids as your DoW or DoM while turning a blind eye to DoL and DoH then get ready to have some content out of reach.
