GC crafting items

[Fayble]

It seems that I have more problems obtaining mats for ilvl 70 synths than ilvl 90 synths. This is in regards to current recipes for vanya silk, hardened hippo leather, rose gold ingots... etc. I believe that requirement of 9x potashes (22,500 GC seals) is too high for what it is worth when cashmere cloth takes 1 cashmere fleece for 500 myth. I think the recipes need to be adjusted or the price of GC seals for these items should be lowered.

I do agree.
Either more ways to farm (not at the cost of gear loot). Let chests have Gear and Mat. Or they should introduce some unspoiled nodes.

It is very expensive in GC seal, or make it 3 items for the actual cost.

Or some recipes need to change maybe.

I face the same problem trying to progress in desynthing. I MUST craft Level 70 items in order to proceed but each item needs 9 pieces of hardended sap. Buying them from the currency you get from FATES or from returning items to the GC, it takes a hell lot of time. One costs 2.500 so I need 22.500 just to craft and destroy ONE item which grants me a very small progress. 9 per item are either too much or they should cost less. One of these options please, SE.

They should add higher level GC leves, and do 1-star supply/provision missions.

All of you have great alternatives to this issue. All I know is SE needs to make changes to the recipes or mats acquisition because it is causing a lot of problems with leveling desynthing as well as getting the master recipes for other crafting classes. I find it easier and less gil to get the 2nd set of master recipes rather the the 1st set. 5x HQ 2-star items (500k-750k depending on server prices) VS. 5x Battlecraft Demimateria I & 5x Fieldcraft Demimateria I (100k -150k, and much easier to obtain while leveling desynthesis).

Well they said they were looking into increasing the drop rate of gear in the old and new expert dungeons, so if the drop rate is a lot better after the adjustment GC seals may become a lot more plentiful. When they decide to increase atma drop rates too a lot of people may decide to finally get around to it and FATE farming gives some nice seals. Hopefully it's enough, now that the demand for these items is much higher than it was before and who knows what will happen with new recipes.
