Back in the day, it was made so the (at the time) high level crafts required not 1 but 9 of a mix-in in order to synth. Presumably this was done to make it so stuff like Vanya caster/healer gear wasn't too attainable in relation to items you could buy with tomestones.

However, those gears are now way behind the curve, and stuff that uses Vanya Silk or other similar materials is mostly used for vanity/glamour gear. Isn't it time to scale this back?

Why do I bring this up now? It looks like SE has made these GC items like potash drop all over the place in the higher level dungeons in order to produce more supply. Wouldn't it be easier to lower demand somewhat and make vanya silk only take ONE potash instead of NINE?

So, please allow actual GEAR to drop from dungeons, and scale back recipes like Vanya Silk to only require ONE of a Potash or other GC item mix in. Please.
