Vanity isn't just for the rich!

[Mugiawara]

I don't get why any of the vanity gear is starred. It's vanity! Sure, hard to get materials, I can get that but this every growing difficulty to just make it is preposterous.

Because any possible casual like on the side type of content is a tedium.
......LIKE TAKING DECADES TO GET A HOUSE ON A GAME!!11.

None of those items are hard to get at all. Am I the only one that was sort of relieved to see just how cheap some of these recipes are?

This. With Allagan gear being able to be thrown into the GC seal crusher, there's really no excuse at this point not to be able to get the 9 Potash together - which is by far the most expensive part of the craft, and still not that much even after the price spike caused by the recipes being released.

For some perspective, Floss Silk itself costs 400k on Behemoth at the time of typing this. That's a little under FOUR TIMES the cost of all 9 Potash for ONE item. The one (each piece of Crescent Moon gear, which Floss Silk is used in, requires five) Fieldcraft Demimateria II costs 23.5k. Even a non-crafter could make 23.5k in a day, and it'll be even easier since Adventurer in Need bonuses are being boosted even further.

EDIT: OP, you want low level vanity, may I point to this? That one's not even a level 50 craft.

I find most items like this start out very expensive (makes sense, there's a high demand for new items), but once the initial rush is over the prices drop steadily. By the time the next patch hits their prices aren't beyond what any player could save up over a few days.

If you feel the vanity items are too expensive my suggestion would be to wait it out.

Only part I get a good chuckle at in regards to some of the vanity recipes are that near the high end of difficulty, are people that pay the extra gil for the HQ version. For the new glowey primal weapons, yea, I can see wanting HQ for that since it makes an "ok" weapon. But why would you fork over nearly double the gil for an HQ coeurl bikini?

If something exists, people are likely willing to pay for it. To me, that's the long and short of it.

It's like buying a designer brand or something, if I had to make an analogy. I doubt anyone's going to the Market Boards and saying "This particular Nightgown sucks because it's NQ" or anything but it's definitely more appealing to some people to get the one with the shiny symbol on it. Psychology is weird.

It is worth noting that its possible to get 6+ potash a day from the Ixali beast tribe depending on your rank, which is needed to make vanya silk.

I actually forgot about that. You can get up to 12 a day if you do both rank 5 and 6 dailies. That makes these new pieces of gear even easier to get, and...

yeah... take note of all the people saying this is easy to make, cos they'll be the ones charging 5mil+ for it on the market.

As a crafter myself that *might* consider making some of this gear (provided I can get my hands on the master books if the recipes are found there), if I see someone trying to price the Best Man/Bridesmaid's pieces that high I'd laugh. A lot. Judging from the materials required they are worth nowhere near that much...unless someone actually wants to buy it at that price.

Waste of knots for longterm crafters/gatherers. Already need 108 days of knots to get everything Artisan/Forager.
